Digital Chocolate, the mobile and social gaming firm started and led by Electronic Arts (NSDQ: ERTS) founder Trip Hawkins, has raised $12 million in a Series D round of funding led by Intel (NSDQ: INTC) Capital, with past investors Sutter Hill Ventures and Bridgescale Partners also participating. The company says that it will use the funds to further expand its social gaming reach to new platforms: Digital Chocolate already publishes games on platforms such as Apple’s App Store and Facebook.
