  It is sad to see. I actually live in the town with the studio and everytime I drive past their building with the Volition logo i get a little melancholy

  The punisher was an absolute favorite as a kid, so many wonderful executions to watch with fresh eyes.

  Embracer Group demolishing about a quarter of the games industry as a Saudi oil money Trojan Horse is going to be one of the decade-defining features of gaming industry history.

  I used to be part of the Gentelmen of the Row modding team (specifically worked on the original mod) and I knew something was up whrn they got pissy with us. Some of those people helped us extensively when we would hit roadblocks while making our mods. I have most of their phone numbers still. <br><br>I will say that finding their tribute to Idol Ninja (the leader of the mod team) in the reboot made me both sad and angry.

  I think what makes Volition&apos;s failure so sad is that in 2021, GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition was released to a critical disaster in every way.<br>Volition had an easy slam dunk success story with their Saints Row game. Instead, it ends up failing badly that Volition bankrupts itself.

  Hearing the protagonist talk for the first time in SR1 when I was a kid has stuck with me all these years.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>&quot;Hope you don&apos;t mind hepatitis.&quot;

  The Punisher game was so fun. I played it recently, and it was a great time. Still kinda sad to have Volition die. Saints Row 2 and &nbsp;The Descent were also some great times. I guess it&apos;s time to replay some Volition.

  Good news for Saints Row 2 fans who play on PC. There is an unofficial fan patch that really fixes up the game. It&apos;s called the Juiced patch and it&apos;s very easy to install

  there was a time that I viewed Saints Row as a series higher than GTA but then Saints Row reboot came out and screwed everything over - I have to say Saints Row 3 is my favorite game.
