The game Plague Inc. has seen huge interest from users since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and has persistently held onto the top of the charts. The imaginative strategy game thrived even in China, where the government eventually banned it completely. The creators of Plague Inc. have now decided to donate a considerable amount of money - a whole 250 thousand dollars - to the fight against the current COVID-19 pandemic. Ndemic Creations, the developer of Plague Inc., will split the amount between the World Health Organization and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.

The game Plague Inc. continues to enjoy great popularity, and in the Czech version of the App Store it is still at the top of the list of the most popular paid games. The game offers many scenarios, but among the most popular currently is the version where players spread a dangerous and deadly virus throughout the planet Earth. First, it is necessary to select a country in which the infection will begin to spread, and then to gradually genetically modify the virus in such a way as to eliminate the entire population if possible. The guarantee of a reliable victory is usually the initiation of the infection in China.

The game saw the light of day back in 2012, and its creator James Vaughn claims today that he could never have imagined that the situation in the world could so faithfully resemble the scenario of the game. Creators of Plague Inc. in addition, they recently started collaborating with the World Health Organization on a new game scenario in which players will have the task of completely eliminating the global infection. Games like Plague Inc. according to Richard Hatchett, head of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, they have the potential to spread awareness about epidemics of various diseases in their own way.
