Description:
Elden Ring gets its own version of the Twitch plays phenomenon, thanks to a Ukraine donation subathon.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Bruce Greene, whos worked with Funhaus, Rooster Teeth, and Inside Gaming, is currently hosting a charity subathon on Twitch with a unique twist.

While hes away, the Twitch chat is able to collaboratively play FromSoftwares latest title, Elden Ring , from the streams chat interface.

Subathons, which extend the stream with each new subscription to the channel, can last as long as a month, so streamers often create ways for the chat to entertain itself, including letting viewers or mods control the entertainment by playing videos.

But Greenes method involves mimicking the format made popular from the original Twitch plays Pokemon phenomenon and turns control of the game over
to the people who play by inputting chat commands into the interface with the consensus commands winning out.

On the plus-side, watching 600 people try to navigate the newly-released Soulsbourne title just might be messy enough to take the sting out of the games PC experience , which is somehow worse than the Steam Deck experience .

Of course all this chaos is for a good cause, as Greene is donating half the profits from the stream to UNICEF and the Red Cross in support of Ukraine.
