Embracer Groupin johto yllättyi uuden Saints Row'n mahalaskusta

Kehittäjä Volitionin kunnianhimo tuntui olevan kohdallaan Saints Row'n uusinnan suhteen, mutta pieleen meni. Myyntilukuja ei ole kerrottu, mutta eivät ne kovinkaan suuret voi olla. Embracer Groupin toimitusjohtaja Lars Wingefors on kertonut olevansa yllättynyt pelaavan kansan tyrmäyksestä. Moinen johtaakin nyt siihen, että Saints Row'n tulevaisuus on vaakalaudalla.

Gamereactorin arvion uudesta Saints Row'sta voi lukea täältä.

"Personally, I had hoped for a greater reception to the game. It's been very polarizing. There are a lot of things that could be said in detail around it, but I'm with one hand happy to see lots of gamers and fans happy, and at the same time I'm a bit sad to also see fans not happy, so it's difficult.

I think we need to wait for the quarterly report in November to have more details around this. We're still fairly early in our release window and still collecting data, and there is also bug fixing and more content coming. On the financial side, I know, or I'm confident we will make money on the investment. Would it have as great a return on investment as we have seen in many other games? Not very likely, but we will make money, and that's a very good starting point at least.
