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.'

They decided to pander to a tiny audience, who won't buy their stuff. And pissed on gamers that made their bank, and didn't want another fortnite clone/etc. The idiot running their social media account was a good indicator that the company was already dead.
If the most recent Saints Row hadn't been since a colossal fuckup, I wonder if their fate would have been different.
