Saddened by the news of closing. It's where I started my career, and it was an incredible place to learn. Coming out of college, I had technical skills, but no idea how to apply them on the massive scope of a AAA project. My social skills were also just a step above feral. Volition was full of mentors and role models that helped me become someone who could flourish on a team.

Volition is no longer being Embraced!

In all seriousness, this is a fucked up situation.

I hope all those folks find employment or otherwise land on their feet quickly and the fuckers that put them in this situation just suddenly find a ton of shit in their mouths.

Kommenden Monat wird Teil von sein. Ich werde dieses Spiel nach einer die ich eben gelesen habe mit einer Menge Pippi in den Augen spielen. Das hinter dem Spiel ist . Ein Studio das kompromisslose Spiele gemacht hat. Die Saint's Row Reihe oder die Reihe. Aber auch Titel wie (2004). Volition hat bekannt gegeben dass das Studio von der Embracer Group platt gemacht wird. Könnte kotzen. Oder heulen. Oder beides.

Red Faction showed a rare trust that allowing the player to change their environment didn’t hurt overall gameplay.

Saints Row showed that you can’t get too silly in open world crime games. And SR4 is still one of my favorite playthroughs ever.

Hope everyone employed at lands on their feet and continues to make awesome games.

The closure of Games is a huge blow. The long line of successful and immensely fun games they’ve created will always be remembered, but we’re losing a game studio that really tried to push technical and narrative boundaries in established genres.

Descent showed 3D was natural for the FPS genre.

Freespace showed that space sims still had a place in a market that thought only Wing Commander could succeed.

Sad to hear about getting shut down. Saints Row was an all time great, and really showed how some little character touches could go a hell of a long way.

Also ist jetzt im Grunde das EA von früher?

Große Studios mit einer langen Geschichte übernehmen? ☑️

Sie zu überhasteten, teils seelenlosen Fortsetzungen unter üblen Deadlines zwingen? ☑️

Das Studio sofort auflösen, wenn es keinen Hit abliefert? ☑️

Lizenzen horten, damit die Fans und die ursprünglichen Devs nie die Chance auf eine würdige Fortsetzung bekommen? 🔜

RIP

Noticia triste :pika_sad:

Han cerrado , la desarrolladora de y . Embracer se ha cargado al estudio por no generar muchas ventas en su último juego tras haberlo sacado muy bugueado y no tener mucha aceptación para el público general.

🍕 Rest in Pepperoni 🍕
