Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

VoxPop Games, Inc. (stylized as VoxPop) is an American video game publisher, middleware toolset and distributor. VoxPop Games specializes in funding and hosting indie games.

VoxPop Games operates an online store using a profit-sharing business model, which allows game developers to create revenue-sharing agreements with collaborators and influencers. VoxPop Games also micro-funds new game development through its VoxPop Fund program.

Overview

VoxPop Games was founded in 2019 by Charles Fang Yu and Marc Anthony Rodriguez. However, initial development stalled until mid-2020, in part due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. As of 2019, it is New York’s First Independent Games Platform.

Shortly after its founding, VoxPop Games was admitted into the F50 Elevate accelerator, and became part of their 2021 cohort.

The VoxPop Store was originally envisioned as a blockchain-based, crypto structured storefront, but pivoted away from blockchain based architecture very early in development. VoxPop initially launched as a peer-to-peer, profit-sharing distribution platform, but has since expanded into publishing and software tools.

In February 2023, VoxPop Games announced that Studio Wildcard co-founder, Douglas Kennedy would be joining its board.

Products and Services

Sales

VoxPop Games began as an online store, specializing in independent video games. The VoxPop Store used a peer-to-peer network to distribute files, and featured built-in tools for affiliate marketing and DRM. One goal of the VoxPop Store was to connect independent game developers to influencers by allowing them to share profits from their games. Developers could set a percentage of their revenue from a title to be used as a user incentive for sharing their game. If a game was then purchased from that user’s affiliate link, the user could collect the user incentive.
