The difficult journey accomplished
Many people believed the Twitch community would never have been able to defeat Dark Souls, with the game having tough bosses and needing camera and aiming accuracy.
But during the early days of playing Dark Souls, Twitch chat made a difficult decision to change their mode from anarchy to democracy, which enabled better control over actions that the in-game character does.
With anarchy mode in place all input actions through the chat take effect, whereas democracy mode puts in a timer and the most popular move is voted through. Having this change opened up a large window for Twitch to complete Dark Souls, and they were even able to get through the first dungeon which was once considered a challenge.
Throughout the toiling 43 day process of playing Dark Souls, the Twitch community faced exactly 904 deaths and faced the devilish duo of Ornstein and Smough after 28 days in.
