    RIP Volition. From Decent, Red Faction, Summoner, and Saints Row, they made some really good stuff. Even if the modern Volition is nowhere near the team it might have been, it’s sad to see a studio being closed.

    After that most recent Saint’s Row game, I can’t say I’m surprised.

    It felt like it was designed by Tumblr, sold on an unpopular platform (Epic), left out most of what was good from the previous entries, was attrociously buggy, and had deeply disappointing DLC.

    Nobody wanted it and it felt designed by committee.

    Like Blizzard, most of the talent that made them great to begin with wasn’t there any more.

    Yet another good developer ruined by a shitty “AAA” publisher / holding company.
