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.

I hope I was able to shine a light on how we make games and who we are as both developers and people, and maybe make everyone's day just a little bit brighter in some small way.” Mike, Volition loves you too, our hearts are broken and we will miss you every day.

Our thoughts go out to his family and we ask everyone to respect their privacy at this difficult time.

He's lucky to fade away before release of your abomination. He knew how to communicate with community and had a real touch. Great loss for real SR community.

At least he didn't have to live to see Saint Row ruined.
