Does the Twitch chat know better? “Twitch plays PUBG” is one of the best and funniest ideas at the same time. In the video, you can see what the adventure looks like and why the chat sometimes gets it “almost” all right.
On the Twitch.TV platform, you can find livestreams of many different games such as League of Legends, GTA 5, or World of Warcraft. Currently, the battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. is particularly popular.
When watching the PUBG streams, you often read comments in the chat like “You should have done X and Y …” or “This was never going to work, you went completely wrong.”.
Whether these comments make sense is currently being explored by an interesting project. “Twitch Plays Battlegrounds” gives the chat control over the character. Running, jumping, and shooting are controlled by a chaotic chat.
It sounds like the project is doomed to fail. However, the success speaks for itself.

On the channel, it says: “The thoughts behind this Twitch channel are curiosity, collaboration, and patience. The command list is regularly updated to improve quality.” So far, there are the following commands that you can use as a viewer:
When hundreds of players in the chat try to enforce their plan simultaneously, it can easily end in chaos. Hence, it is all the more remarkable when real successes are achieved. Here you see the first kill of the crazy PUBG project:
Afterwards, the match with the Twitch chat ended in 3rd place – An astonishing result for the project.
Even if at least one of the two kills looks like it was a gift from seasoned players. Such actions are just part of such a project and should not dampen the fun for the viewers.
On the contrary, the stream is really entertaining. It is fun to watch the bot and control it with your own commands. Admittedly, the death in the match wasn’t a spectacle.
