THQ's pornstar marketing "didn't really fit in with what Saints Row is", says Volition
“I think our game actually does represent women in a positive way,” argues SR4 producer.
Saints Row 4 associate producer Kate Nelson has admitted that THQ’s enlisting pornstars to promote previous games in the series struck her and others at developer Volition as inappropriate. The point of Saints Row is that it’s tongue-in-cheek, she argued; by contrast, the (now defunct) publisher’s marketing conveyed the impression that the series is purely about titillation.
