>I honestly pegged things like Twitch Plays Pokemon back in 2014 would be the future of Twitch, and Twitch did allow some developer tools for interactivity between players and games, but very very few devs make use of it outside of an intentional gimmick because there's a massive chicken-and-egg problem there that Twitch hasn't facilitated.
I've believed the same thing since 2014 which is why I started Muxy in 2015. We build tools that let viewers and broadcasters interact with gameplay in real-time. It's been hard to make bigger strides as management at Twitch seems to turn over faster than we can build working relationships. We're finally seeing some real traction with publishers and studios over the last 18 months. You might know us from the Bits days when we launched the cheer cup in summer 2016.
