End of an era. Nearly everyone I met from Volition was shockingly chill, understanding, and were super talented at what they did. Obviously I had my gripes about things, but it's because I held them in such high regard and was passionate for the things they brought to life. Some really cool stuff came from that studio. Really sad that it's ending like this.

"The Saints' legacy ends here. Not with a bang, but with a whimper."-Killbane

the studio was genuinely so innovative for it's time in the early 2000s I'll miss it

RIP Volition. I will never forget how fun you made my childhood. All we can hope for now is that by some miracle the patch will make it to us.

RIP Volition, RIP Idol ninja. RIP Saints row.... It's a shame. I still remember playing saints 1 and 2 as a kid. Some of the most memorable moments of gaming in my life. It's honestly really sad to see this happen to a company with so many chill people. o7

R.I.P Volition, We will miss saints row 1 and saints row 2. That is all.

I'm not feeling sorry for the Volition that went out, but for the Volition we knew that has been dead for a decade already.

The Punisher (2004) Red Faction Guerilla Saints Row 1 and 2 These guys made some great and unique games man, no matter how much they fucked up recently it hurts just as much seeing them go under as it was seeing Pandemic. Gaming just isn't the same anymore man. Its all about the money now

Thanks for the memories volition. Saints Row 2 was my childhood

if the people of Volition were watching this and reading the comments down below, I'd like to thank them for making one of the best open world crime games ever made. Saints Row 2 and the city of Stilwater is a place I could never get bored in, And so as the original Red Faction on the PS2. Such great memories.

even though the company that shut down is just a former shell of itself, I can't describe how sad it makes me to see this company go, the company that gave me countless of hours of fun with my friends over the almost 20 years I have been enjoying their games. rip volition

RIP Violition. Sr3 may have been my intro to the series via games with gold. But I've grown a major appreciation for SR2. Also. We all lift together from Warframe is the perfect fit.

I don't care what anyone says: Saints Row The Third is one of the best games Volition ever made. It was utterly fantastic, and I loved it so much. It wasn't a perfect game, but it was so funny, so unique, and so much fun to play.

“The saints legacy ends here,not with a bang but with a whimper.” -Eddie “Killbane” Prior

Another good studio gone 😢

It's upsetting to see volition go, I started off back with saints row 1 and played every title in order. SR1 and SR2 being my absolute favourites and one of my first ever games for my xbox 360

I pray to god this isn't then end of Saints Row, It can't go down just like Dead Rising.

Goodbye volition. You deserved a better fate old friendo. If only the reboot was good friend, maybe you would have been loved again. RIP volition 1993 - 2023 (idk when volition started but all i know is that They are gone now 😢 Both deserved and not so deserved

I wish Thanks Volition for the last 30 Years, Since 1993, Saints Row, and Red Faction, From all of us At Volition Past and Present, We wish all of us from eternity, Farewell. R.I.P. Volition 1993-2013

It’s so sad to see their fall from grace. Even if it was coming, it makes me sad.

Volition had such amazing talent, So much history and memories made throughout the people who worked there and the fans over the many years. Thank you for the hard work and dedication to making fun and innovative games. You may be gone now but we will never forget.

Saints Row had such a huge influence on my life, its a shame that it's going away now, just makes me really sad that the studio has to close

I can't wait for your video explaining what you saw back in 2019 a mixture of both sheer curiosity and also to see if what you saw truly was different than what came out.

The studio that brought me one of my favorite franchises of all time are now gone. All we can do now is treasure the great memories that Volition brought us. RIP Volition. Thank you for the Saints Row series. Thank you for Red Faction. Thank you for the 30 years of games you gave all of us. Thank you Volition. You will be missed.

So long old friend, you did an amazing job to pioneer the gaming community.

Damn I swear that hurt my heart dawg 😢

The united nation of Solaris bids them a farewell

I started with Red Faction on the PS2, then Saints Row. I still play RF1 and 2 and the earlier Saints. They will hold a special place in my childhood. It's been a strange ride, but I hope the crew are able to continue with minimal problems.

I was waiting for your video about volition in the past week

As a Illinois native I really looked forward to trying out for the Volition team seeing how they weren't that far and I've always been a fan. Sad to see my opportunity and many others move on without the company. They made some great stuff we will remember for years but I guess its time to turn a new leaf. So long volition we'll miss ya

I never thought that this will end like this. I am sad. I loved all game from the Saints Row Franchise. This game will never be the same without Volition if it has a future. I like your music choice from you one of the best from Warframe! RIP Volition

this was beautiful, rip volition, thank you for making my childhood awesome

Omg one of my favorite gaming companies will miss them they were one of the best

sad they went out giving their fans the finger.

Saints Row and Saints Row 2 were a huge part of me and my friend's childhood. We all had 1,000+ hours in the game and knew every possible detail about Stillwater. Farewell to Volition, you guys helped a lot of gamers create memories they'll always cherish.

I haven't played the reboot, I have no plans too either. But it was pretty sad seeing the empty studio at the end. I appreciate all the fun and memories Volition brought me as a kiddo. Saints Row 1 / 2 are memories I will never forget. So sad to see them close.

Sucks to see a beloved company fall throughout these decades man I remember considering this company the best in my younger days, hopefully we get that saints row 2 Pc port, Rip Volition

Farewell Volition, hope you guys make some crazy ass comeback that puts you back near the top. Sent before I started the video, I have Vox Solaris Warframe theme on my ps4, got hella confused when the video started.

i never knew that volition had shut down from that day until now, i enjoyed their saints row games like theirs no tomorrow and i sometimes play them to remind myself of the countless hours of fun i had playing them, the mods on these games were a huge joy, doing co-op with others, even messing around with cheats and murdering npcs, its sad to see such a beloved gaming company go like this, i just hope that the saints row community will never fall apart and continue to thrive for many years to come, rest in peace volition, may we all miss you for eternity

Certainly been a long run.. whilst I am sad to see one of my favorite Game Companies shut down, this was inevitable after the newest Saints Row. It was thanks to volition that I made new friends in Saints Row 2, they gave me the most memorable gaming moments of my life. Their games made us laugh, cry, angry.. and that’s how you know they did good with their games in the past. I pray for the workers of Volition that they can get back on their feet, sooner than later. Thanks for this video MrSaintsGodzilla, it feels like an appropriate goodbye to a good company. While Volition may be gone, the world of our favorite Saints Row games will keep on spinning. Much love ❤️

If they just made a game fans wanted this wouldn’t have happened 😢 farewell saint’s row

They lived long enough to see themselves become the villains. Sad, but I can't feel that bad for them.

i remember getting into saints row the same year it was released when i was 6 thanks to my brother managed to play all of the main games (except for the reboot and AoM) and made my childhood and older years just that bit more fun i still play and enjoy them very much to this day. i just hope the sr2 patch still gets released RIP volition

Rest now my child you were there ever since the beginning you made some great games and you made some great memories no matter what I will always remember playing red faction and saints row and I will always go back to playing those games they were just great to play I only wish you could’ve found that magic again but rest now volition games😢😢😢

RIP Volition I will forever appreciate them for making my childhood better.

A Company Taken By Corporate Suits Who Were So Out Of Touch With What The Fans Really Wanted, Truly A Shame To The Team Inside The Company Wanting To Do Good In This Corrupt Business Rip Volition

No matter anything else it’s sad this company is gone now. Red Faction was my introduction to Volition and I used to play the split screen bot mode with my brother for hours on end. Saints Row 2 was my next step to their games and I sank so many endless hours in that amazing game. I wish they had been able to recapture their roots.

This was one of the first games I played on the Xbox 360 that my dad bought years ago. I'd go downstairs in an attempt to play it when i wasn't allowed to due to my age. It was the first "mature" game i genuinely played and it fueled my ever-lasting love for crime-based video games. It was sad seeing the series get destroyed the way it was; but just like carlos, maybe it was its time to go. You will be missed Volition. Thanks for making all of our lives fantastic over the years.

Nnnnooooooo😢😢😭😭😭😭😭 Well I will always love and have Saints row 1 and 2 on my number 1 favorite games for life💯💯💯💪💪💪 R.I.P Volition 😢🙏

Another beloved bites the dust, not changing all the grief that seeing them go away maybe forever gives to us all, but it was fun while it lasted. Hopefully someday, they can rise from the ashes like a phoenix, but alas, now we mourn for the time being while remembering the good ol' days. o7

Voltion was a legendary studio, both in life but also in death. My best wishes go out to those talented employees wbo deserved a better fate than to be stuck working on the last few disapointments voltion called games.

Wicked Tribute man. Brings back so many memories. also thanks for not inverting the logo at the end.

imagine working at Vol and watching videos like this, knowing there are fans out there who cared about your work just as much as you did. i bet that feels super nice, albeit maybe bittersweet that it's the end of an era

Volition was a powerhouse at one point of time, RIP

After the reboot, I am fully numb to any bad news regarding the fate of the companies behind it.

What an awesome tribute mrsaintsgodzilla21. You really nailed it there homie. Thank you for being the light in our dark times as a saints row fan. You and the others helped keep this community alive and well. Thank You so much zilla. Love you homie ❤ 🐀

The song is We All Lift Together by Keith Power from the Digital Extremes game Warframe, for those who wanted to know.

RIP Volition + happy 100k subs

As someone who played saints row 2 and 3 in his childhood. I must say thank you. I never forgot you. And I'm very sad 😔 I lived by saints row series.

RIP Volition, You gave us the Saints Row franchise, Red Fraction and many more. You were a family both in the studio and to us as a community. Saints Row was more than a game franchise, it was and still is a community. A community as strong as the Saints themselves. Weather you loved the later games or hated them, you can not deny that there was something for almost everyone. Old and new fans alike. Saints Row The Third was there for me when I needed a vice to escape from some stuff going on in my life at the time. It was the right kind of fun that I needed and I remember going back to Saints Row 2 and 1 after completing 3 and 4 at that time. Basically replayed the entire series once again. Posting art and lore of my bosses, making friends in the community. It was one thing that made the Saints community so fun and welcoming to be in and I will never forget that. It's one of the reasons Saint is in my username, I chose to add that back when I was changing to a new username as it was and still is something I hold close to my heart. Thank you for all the fond memories, and the love and dedication you put into your games. Weather people agreed with your decisions and directions or not, you guys still put time and effort into what you probably thought was the right direction and if you didn't, no doubt business decisions out of your control probably took a part in that.

i usually don’t comment on videos, but whatever happens now I hope this community never dies.

I remember back in 2012 when i was 6 i was watching my cousin play the third and he had stuck a grenade inside a brutes mouth and i had asked to give it a try and it was the funnest experience in my entire life and i was shocked to later find out there were other saints row games to play , ever since then i’ve been in love with the series and even though the recent games haven’t been amazing i still enjoy going back to the originals every once in a while just to fuck shit up. After all these years of playing im proud to say this is definitely my favorite game series and it saddens me to see where it ended up going. But hey, it was fun while it lasted. Thank you Volition for all the years of fun and Mayhem.

Thank you Volition

A studio thats talented as ever but was ruthlessly and sadly plagued with very difficult decisions, even then tho, I really feel that they could've done better, ultimately they did what they could. RIP TO IDOL NINJA, RIP TO VOILITION. May the higher ups do the right thing.🙏🙌

RIP volition and thanks for everything I’m gonna miss ya 😭💔

After how arrogant they got about Saints Row's reboot I'm glad they've shut down.

Volition is honestly one of the most underrated developers of all time. Even with some bumps in the road, they were creative and innovative with the games they developed and weren't afraid to take risks with their games, regardless on how some of them ended up in execution. It may not be perfect, but with them being around for 30 years, which in itself is a huge accomplishment, they made some of the best games ever made. I hope that everyone at Volition are able to find new jobs quickly and continue their legacy with other studios. There is always a brighter future, and a better life. o7

RIP I remember falling in love with Saints Row in 2012 after watching my cousin play The Third. I asked my dad for it and he got me Saints Row 2. I remember being a lil disappointed at first but then I fell in love with it and as I look back to this very day I'm grateful he bought it for me, super nostalgic. I finally got Saints Row The Third a couple years after that and it was cool but when the Saints Row 4 trailers came out, I was like YOO this is crazy😂 I didn't get that one until late 2016 but I still play it now and it's still my favorite Saints Row out of all of them despite the popular opinion. Shout-out to Volition & Deep Silver for being a big part of my childhood man, never gonna forget y'all♥️

Saints Row 2 is my favorite game of all time and Saints Row IV was the true ending and now when I hear "This is how we do" I think of all the characters dancing and it makes me cry everytime. I really do hate that the company is gone now!!

farewell Volition it's been a hell of a ride

The Pillar on the secret Island in SR2 is now a Relic of a time that's gone...

Here’s for 30 more years

Dont be sad its over... Be Happy it happen💜 RIP Volition.

Pound Another Nail by Jim Wolfe was very poetic…

How many people in this video were actually working at Volition when the ship sank...

Warframe song was an S tier choice 👌

I can't believe it's just a burning memory...

good bye to the greatest saints row game developers, we love you.

That was beautiful

I wanna cry, Saints Row was my childhood.

First Agents of mayhem then the atrocious SR Reboot. That was just a nail too much for their own coffin... Sadly, I will miss them 😭

I’m not mad at Volution, I’m just flatout disappointed. We all warned them when the reboot trailer first drop, but instead of listening to their community and going back to the old ways, they still want with it. I guess Killbane was right all along….

It's sad but I feel the onus is ultimately on them because we 5 chances and 11 years

Thanks for Stilwater

What a way to go. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I wonder if it was a bad thing for your community manager to call everyone who liked the old games "terrorists"?

The end of an era... Thank you, GTA Fanboys. You ruined a company. Hope you're happy.

Rip volition red faction and saints row

If they treated Idol Ninja with the respect he deserved I would actually feel bad for them. But they spat in the face of his legacy and they spat in the face of us fans. They brought this on themselves.

Really hard to play SR4 when it just doesn't feel like the end, though. Leaving them on a simulated planet, I was hoping they'd make another where Kinzie finds the earth is actually still in tact.

We’re all adrift now, with their death, the era of legends is officially over, now begins the darkness. We shall wait thousands of years for the chosen one to arrive.

Regardless of the reboot, The Punisher was the first Volition game I played. Saints Row demo was what got me into them and Red Faction. R.I.P. Rainbow gas blasting Unicorns and Cabbits.

This is incredibly sad I can't say i didn't see it coming with everything to do with the reboot and how they handled it. But while them shutting down wasn't their fault they also still share part of the blame because if the Reboot was good they wouldn't be in this position at all

It's sad seeing the fall from grace, and the end of this era... Sadly there's probably no coming back from this again. But I must wonder, who will take the broken penatrator from the studio?

This so sad i remember seeing their logo every time we went by in champaign the when i was 6-8 starting saints row 2 for the first time knowing where its from and who volition is

I wonder why they can't find another publisher and create similar games on different copyrights? ☹️ It's even weird that nobody wants to "buy" them. Volition you are amazing guys, please get together and create other amazing stories like SR 1&2, we all need you!

Glad to see some people aren’t celebrating about it.

We would really like to know what you saw in the early stages of the reboot godzilla !

Throw one up for Red Faction.

Saints Row 2 Remastered and Saints Row (2006) in pc. Every good dreams is buried right now.
