Volition Closed [Aug 31, 2023, 8:32 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A farewell message on the
Volition Website announces developer Volition has shut down after over three
decades in the business. In
June an announcement from Volition Parent Embracer braced everyone for
upcoming layoffs and studio closures, and the Saints Row and Descent
developer is a high-profile victim of that. Here's word:
"The Volition team has proudly created world-class entertainment for fans around the globe for 30 years. We've been driven by a passion for our community and always worked to deliver joy, surprise, and delight.
"This past June. Embracer Group announced a restructuring program to strengthen Embracer and maintain its position as a leader in the video game industry. As part of that program. they evaluated strategic and operational goals and made the difficult decision to close Volition effective immediately.
"To help our team, we are working to provide job assistance and help smooth the transition for our Volition family members. We thank our customers and fans around the world for all the love and support over the years. You will always be in our hearts.'

If the most recent Saints Row hadn't been since a colossal fuckup, I wonder if their fate would have been different.
It would have needed to be to be pretty successful I think, given that they had already had one strike with Agents of Mayhem.
It really is too bad. Somewhere along the way they lost their edge. Agents of Mayhem and Saints Row reboot are just so soulless and you can't really feel any developer passion.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
