Coronavirus has increased the popularity of the game Plague Inc.

At present, the Chinese coronavirus is perhaps the most talked about topic in all media. The situation with the advent of a previously unknown virus arouses in people an increased interest in the topic of viral diseases. Thus, they fall on Plague Inc, a game that simulates the emergence and spread of a deadly virus with the subsequent extinction of humanity. Now Plague Inc. became the most profitable project in the App Store, a game store for iOS phones. Note that it was released almost 8 years ago.

Developers do not forget to remind that Plague Inc. is primarily an entertainment project, a game, albeit a realistic but not a scientific model, which will make it possible to understand all the details of what is happening.

For the founder of Ndemic Creations, which developed Plague Inc., the sharp rise in popularity was not unexpected. According to James Vaughan, people have repeatedly shown increased interest in their project after epidemics of various viruses.
