吃鸡 literally means "eat chicken" but it's just an expression and here it refers to gaming. Like "eat crow" is an English idiom that makes no sense if translated literally to other languages.
"eat chicken" specifically refers to winning a battle royale. Not sure if it came from PUBG, but this term got really popular in the PUBG era.
Eat chicken as in: Winner winner chicken dinner.
Never heard of eat crow, what does it mean?
To be humiliated or humbled.
Folk etymology: it comes from the poor having to catch and eat crows (which aparently taste disgusting) to prevent starving to death.
Thanks!
