His work on breathing new life into the eccentrically bizarre Saints Row franchise through various renowned mods and fan interactions left a tremendous impact, as many now mourn the loss of the beloved icon.Ĭommonly acknowledged within the community as a super modder for the action-adventure franchise, Watson famously secured his status when he transformed Saints Row 2 on PC through the highly acclaimed Gentlemen of the Row mod, which he gave away to gamers for free. Senior community developer at Volition, Mike Watson, has sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer.
