puckelberry Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Genuinely curious what the sales statistics of this game are and if they've increased with the recent pandemic? Speaking of which I need to go back to preventing the world from curing my plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightMoth Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I've certainly seen a lot of memes about it recently but I'm not too sure if any of them went out and bought the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantochi Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 At least on steam, the average players in the last 30 days has definetely increased, for consoles the numbers are probably the same i guess. But i heard some news that this game was getting banned in some countries, so this recent player spike will not go for long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 bought it awhile go, playing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_game_nerd Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) I downloaded it on mobile and been playing at work on my phone. Was going to get it on the PS4 but I generally only buy digital when they are on sale so I will put it on watch list for now. Are there any other games like this on PS4, or even PS3 or vita?

Sikutai Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The Price for this game is much higher at the PS 4 (15 Euro) as on PC/Mobile, so I had Interest but why should I buy it for my PS 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pray_4_the_End Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I actually bought this game on sale a few days ago due in part to the whole Corona virus thing, figured now would be as good a time as any to have it lol. Still haven't gotten around to playing it though due to my already insane backlog. One day soon though, game looks pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It got banned on the chinese store. I am susprised the devs didn't put on sale. Then again, they would probably get criticised in the current climate for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_game_nerd Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I see it's on sale on the US store, but not on the Australian store which usually follows the EU stores so i'm guessing it's not on sale there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont view it like you do, its like saying I cant play COD because there is a war going on, but I respect your decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t find some bit of fun/humour in serious situations, life would be unbearable. Plus, the game is a fantastic education tool. The developers did a lot of research in epidemiology so that the spread of the pathogens was a scientifically realistic as they could. And even now, the developers’ Twitter is flooded with questions regarding Coronavirus and its spread (which they respond with directing them to the CDC and WHO websites). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontiark Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I went back to the game for this reason, just platinum it, back in 2017 i was more of a casual, it's been fun playing it with my friend arround friking out, and even more since im infectied with the virus myself. I have to say that at the worst part of the fever I threatened to go to Greenland saying "If I dont get to live im taking those motherfuckers with me".

Pandemic a similar game had the same thing with Madagascar, only one port and the moment that closed the game was unwinnable. If you started there then it was a real pain to get out. I have many bad memories of Madagascar with that game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
