[edit] History
Sony Computer Entertainment approached some future members of thatgamecompany after seeing Cloud and asked them to form a company and signed them on to make three downloadable games for the PlayStation 3. Cloud ended up being a game that wouldn't be possible for a company as small as thatgamecompany to make, so they made flOw instead.
[edit] Trivia
Jenova Chen was (February 2007) employed at Maxis, working on Spore. However, he is no longer employed as of March 03, 2007 according to a post on thatgamecompany's forum[3].
