Writing to the Steam Community when announcing his illness, Mike said: “Anyone that knows me, understands that I have the deepest love for both the people at Volition and our community.
It is with great sadness that we confirm the passing of our friend Mike “IdolNinja” Watson.
Mike joined Volition as a Saints Row fan. He left us as a Community Manager and a Developer woven indelibly into the heart of our studio.
The brand-new Saints Row trailer just dropped, and it’s filled with all the over-the-top action set pieces you could hope for. #gamescom2021
Developers from Deep Silver are here to break down all the insanity packed into this trailer. Presented by @saintsrow
We are so excited to share the announcement trailer for #SaintsRow! An exciting reboot of the franchise in a brand new city with brand new Saints!
Coming on February 25 2022 #SelfMade

We cannot imagine anything better capturing how much Mike Watson means to us all than this touching video created by the incredible Saints Row community. Thank you mrsaintsgodzilla21 and, of course, thank you Mike Watson.
Over the last couple weeks the Saints Row community has come together to make this special thank you video to the one and only @IdolNinja. It's the least we can do to honor the man that's done so much for all of us. youtube.com/LcXD8tFmOt4

The first obstacle was practical – arranging for the studio’s 200 employees to work from home. It soon became clear to James Torbit, General Manager @DSVolition that there were also big challenges of human nature.
