Open-world game idea: a public GitHub repo that auto-merges every PR, changing the game live

A developer floats a provocative game concept: an open-world game whose public GitHub repository auto-merges every PR. Anyone could add characters, tweak mechanics, and push changes live — play at your own risk.
The fun lies in taking open-source collaboration to its chaotic extreme: zero review, full transparency, instant deployment — effectively making the game itself a community governance experiment, with implications for agent-driven auto-merging and co-created games.
