Despite being a real-time strategy game released in 2012, Plague Inc has attracted the attention of the players in recent days as its theme matches the agenda. Due to the game scenario, he asks the player to spread the virus to the whole world before treatment is available. The virus that spreads in this way brings an end to humanity and the player is awarded in a virtual environment for completing his mission.
With the advent of Coronavirus, it was believed to have a similar story with Plague Inc, and the game’s sales almost broke a record. Although James Vaughan, the founder of Plague Inc, has recently tried to explain to people that the disease story is a fantasy, it seems that he has not been very successful. Because China blocked Plague Inc from accessing its own citizens. For those who wonder why the game was completely removed from the App Store, the government included the following phrase in the application, “It contains illegal content determined by the Chinese Cyber Management.”.
Although there is no comprehensive explanation, it is not difficult to guess the reason for China’s reaction. On the other hand, Ndemic Creations, a developer of Plague Inc, said the situation is out of control and the team is working to find a way to bring the game back to Chinese players.
