summary
Explains how Twitch Extensions actually hook a web layer into games to let viewers affect live matches, showing Borderlands 3 features: red chest polls that give level-scaled loot, pinata and badass events that alter combat and can buff or damage the streamer, a rollout that ran on dozens of simultaneous launch streams (about 170 rigs) and let viewers earn loot months before release; covers technical limits (stream latency, need for APIs or mods), mobile/console support progress, and offers prototype code after GCAP.
