Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell Creative Director Moves Over To Valve
Saints Row IV and the upcoming Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell's creative director Steve Jaros is leaving Volition to join Valve.
Jaros made the the announcement with a series of tweets offering his excitement for the future and past of Volition and Saints Row, as well as his excitement for his future at Valve.
The past 10 years at Volition have been life changing. I've gotten to work with amazing people and made friends that will last a life time..

Our Take
Studio creative director for a successful studio like Volition is a good job title, but it's hard to say no when Valve comes calling. I definitely understand his decision (despite not knowing the intimate details) and am excited to see what he is able to do with his new desk on wheels.
