Congratulations IdolNinja! I remember when I first found your website when searching if it was possible to mod Saints Row The Third. And downloaded the mod compilation from your website. Was a amazing thing and I always asked myself "why the game developers don't open their games for mods? It would be better for everyone". Then when your news about the new connection between the fanbase-Volition arrived I was like "wow, they listen to the fans! They aren't like the others publishers/developers!", it was the real mark-zero to the "official" Saints Row Modding. Now seeing you getting a fulltime job in Volition, surely things will fly like a rocket to the sky! When Saints Row V launch I will say: "This game, this one was made by (or have a great contribution at least from) a real Saints from the third street!" (Not that the previous ones weren't made by Saints, but you know, you are the guy who put the community really in contact with the developers.)
This isn't usual "kissing your feet" post, this is a recognition about your work setting things how they are now (and will become). And gratefulness for transforming the Saints Row franchise in one of the most replayabe games I've ever played. Thank you very much IdolNinja!
Good luck fellow Saint, go on and rock'n roll in Volition!
Ps: I think we all want to hear any news about Saints Row V from you first. (if that is possible, I know how those secret policy things can be really strict)
