Thatgamecompany Launches Thatgamepublisher for Emotional Games

Thatgamecompany announced the launch of Thatgamepublisher to back games that move people through play. The studio plans to fund emotionally ambitious titles up to AA budgets, drawing on profits from Sky: Children of the Light. Co-founder Jenova Chen stated that successful indies now become publishers because they hold excess cash they cannot spend without growing teams to thousands of people. He added that founders instead invest in projects they already understand rather than expand their own operations.
