Elden Ring gets its own version of the ‘Twitch plays’ phenomenon, thanks to a Ukraine donation subathon.
Bruce Greene, who’s worked with Funhaus, Rooster Teeth, and Inside Gaming, is currently hosting a charity subathon on Twitch with a unique twist. While he’s away, the Twitch chat is able to collaboratively play FromSoftware’s latest title, Elden Ring, from the stream’s 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.
