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.

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.
