I never really played it, and watching my family do it stopped being fun when they introduced bots to br.
I don't know how it goes now, but the bots were very obvious in the beginning, very crap, and I suspected they were being killed off by a script as the game progressed(~20 people left) bc I watched several bots get head snipped while we were following *directly* behind (practically walking into) them as the circle closed. But, despite building a staircases, climbing to the top, and dancing over their dead body, no shots were directed at us.
After 4 games of this, I crossed it off my list of pastimes.
As far as stw goes, none of us liked it much. Most fun my brother got out of it was with trading, but the chat is was so polluted with bots that idk how people keep up with crap there. I hope they fixed that. Maybe a system that auto mutes anyone muted by N people, filtering out extremities (those who mute everyone), idk, but something was needed
