Plague Inc: Evolved

If China is banning it, you know it's good.

They are missing out on a huge marketing opportunity here by not putting it on sale

Remember Li Wenliang.
Li Wenliang (李文亮; 12 October 1986 – 7 February 2020) was a Chinese ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital who on 30 December 2019 warned fellow colleagues about a possible outbreak of an illness that resembled severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), later acknowledged as COVID-19 on WeChat. He became a whistleblower when his warnings were later shared publicly. On 3 January 2020, Wuhan police summoned and admonished him for "making false comments on the Internet". Li returned to work, later contracted the virus from an infected patient and died from the disease on 7 February 2020, aged 33.
Meanwhile, this game is banned by the Chinese government, because what is the real issue for them? Controlling the narrative.
Here is the timeline of the outbreak on Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, humanity is much dumber than depicted in this game.

I put all the symptoms for the Wuhan Coronavirus into a normal game and just let it run on the fastest speed and the world died in three years. I don't know what to do with this information so i figured i'd share here. If in three years we're all dead you know this game is hyper realistic and gets a 10/10, if we're all alive in three years than this game is fake and bad.
See you all in heaven.

set the difficulty to very easy and you'll have a realistic point of view of whats going on right now

This game more or less accidentally became a meme during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of simply running with it the devs made a whole new mode where you play as a health team responding to a pandemic. Despite the mechanics being fundamentally very similar, the tone and presentation is chilling. As you play you'll find yourself cursing "Obey the damn quarantine! It's for your own good!" and biting your nails as you watch deaths tick up.
By gamifying the response to a pandemic, Plague Inc has managed to make an extremely special experience. If you respond well and have luck on your side, you might even be able to starve the disease of hosts before the cure is even made. Do you resort to using fake news to buy a precious few days time to keep a lock down going? Do you invest in logistics for the vaccine or focus on curing those who are sick right now? Plague Inc has taken all the news articles and current events of the pandemic and laid them bare for the player to experience.
Strongly recommend and I'm glad such a touchy concept was handled so skillfully by the devs.
