 Chen attributes the exodus to the end of Thatgamecompany's three-game contract, and to the fact that the company had run out of money to pay employees, mandating an unpaid hiatus until the revenue from "Journey" came in.Once the money from "Journey" began to arrive, Thatgamecompany brought back several of the employees affected by the cash flow problems, and some new developers.The company, with its contract with Sony complete, raised $5.5 million in venture capital funding, which they hope to use to develop future games for multiple platforms without influences by publishers.
