In the years since Saints Row 2 released in 2008, countless players have delighted in the chaos of what some refer to as a "human torch glitch," in which a protagonist's entire body is lapped up by roaring flames that don't burn their skin – but the phenomenon might actually be cut content and not a glitch at all.
After I recently viewed unreleased – yet still remarkably pretty – Saints Row builds at The Strong National Museum of Play, which just acquired a trove of material from defunct developer Volition, I asked director of digital preservation Andrew Borman what story they tell us about the action-adventure series.
