I'm especially disappointed that Vigil Games and Darksiders will be closed.
Koch Media is also known as Deep Silver who published Dead Island, Gothic 3, STAKER: Clear Sky. So Volition should be safe to continue their work on Saints Row 4.
I'm curious how much culture shock Relic will endure going to Sega. Zenimax would probably have been a better fit.
