Benchmark Capital Invests $5.5M In thatgamecompany To Take Emotional Gaming Beyond The Console

thatgamecompany has made a series of critically acclaimed games for the Sony PlayStation 3, but with its three-title contract fulfilled, it’s now looking to produce games for other platforms independently. To do that, it’s raised $5.5 million from Benchmark Capital to help finance its bold new direction, and adding Benchmark General Partner Mitch Lasky to its board of directors.
The Santa Monica-based game studio is best known for flOw, Flower, and Journey, a series of games that aim to go beyond male-dominated shoot-em-up blockbusters and provide a whole new emotional component to gaming. The idea for TGC has always been to make games accessible to a much broader audience than the hardcore console audience, to make gaming as a form of entertainment equal to watching a movie or listening to music.
