Watched the full video today.

The main takeaway is that Embracer was super irresponsible with their purchasing and Volition suffered for it. The game may not have been good, but Embracer was expecting billions of dollars from a partnership (with an unrelated company) that never happened, and they would have been able to shoulder SR's losses if the deal went through.

So because of that deal falling through, Embracer was suddenly faced with massive losses and had to start closing studios because of it.

Volition shouldn't have to die because their parent company made a mistake.

About SR, I own the game, still haven't played it but still want to try it out. I'm never interested in the stories of these GTA likes, I'm just here to run around, shoot stuff, drive my car into buildings and blow stuff up. If the sandbox is good then I'm good.

I’m still surprised how people forget that this wasn’t Volition first bomba and how long it took them to release the fucking game.
