The game studio behind Plague Inc has reminded players to refer to real world sources and not a videogame to find out about the coronavirus outbreak.

“Please remember that Plague Inc is a game, not a scientific model and that the current coronavirus outbreak is a very real situation which is impacting a huge number of people. We would always recommend that players get their information directly from local and global health authorities, ” said Ndemic Creations on its website.
