I commented in a Japanese Youtube video of a game. I said not to release it
globally because it's just a chibi version of an already released game and
they replied to me with チビバージョンは草. And when I used a translator it says "chibi
of grass". I guess it's wrong. Can you help me plz?

question
meaning internet-slang
What does チビバージョンは草 sentence means?
チビバージョンは草 basically means "(the phrase) チビバージョン is funny", but said in a
slangy way. See the following questions for the meaning of this 草.

  * [「○○は草」とはどういう意味でしょうか？](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/60234/5010)
  * [What does the internet slang "草生えた" mean?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/9940/5010)

Perhaps you wanted to say something like "mini version (of the game)"? Then
you chose a wrong word. チビ is used to describe someone's height, and it tends
have a negative/pejorative overtone unless it's used to refer to [this art
style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibi_\(slang\)).
