Plague Inc.'s attack on vaccines that facilitate the spread of the disease

An upcoming expansion of the strategy game Plague Inc. will present to its opponents the vaccines – or so-called anti-Vaxxers -. He develops developer Ndemic Creations.

The expansion follows a strong demand from a group of fans, who also sounded with a petition. Ndemic related to the campaign on twitterand promised to include opponents of the vaccine if he received at least 10,000 signatures.

After 48 hours, more than 20,000 of them had lost their signatures and, although the date of extension is not yet ready, the developer has now started working.

– Does not facilitate diseases

With the opponents of the vaccine in the game, it will be easier to spread the disease around the world, which is all in the interest of Plague Inc. However, the team does not exactly determine how to implement the new element.

"The biggest challenge is that if everyone in the simulation of Plague Inc. suddenly stopped vaccinating, winning the game would be very easy," writes Ndemic on his website, while seizing the opportunity to highlight the event. Importance of vaccination.

– There are enough disturbing trends (such as antibiotic resistance) without facilitating the return of the horrible diseases of the past. People take modern health care for granted, and it's almost impossible for anyone to imagine what the world would look like if everyone got rid of measles. If we add something to the game will help people understand the importance of vaccination, it is well worth it.

Great commitment

Plague Inc. was launched for the first time on mobile in 2012 and quickly became successful with more than 10 million downloads. Since then, the game has arrived on Xbox One, PC, Mac, Linux and then on PlayStation 4, entitled Plague Inc: Evolved.

In the game, one chooses a type of disease that he is responsible for spreading throughout the world until the Earth's population is completely extinguished. The macabre concept is still popular today, which is a clear sign of the signature campaign.

– It's incredible that six years after the launch of the game, the base of Plague Players Inc. is still engaged. That means a lot to us and it's great fun working with new updates like this, "said Plague Inc. Director James Vaughan.
