• Resumen

  • The popularity of video-streaming site Twitch has soared in the past few years as a way for people to broadcast their game-playing experiences. The software is built into the recently released PlayStation 4 and will soon be added to the Xbox One. Viewers are normally passive, restricted to a chatroom beside the video, but one Twitch user has set up a stream taking commands from the chat. In the past two weeks, as many as 80,000 players at a time have worked together to advance the game.
