No-fun China bans virus game

Here's an obvious premise for a game that you had to know was coming: Zombies (naturally) are escaping zombie prison and infecting the world with a coronavirus.

Hence, the game's name: Coronavirus Attack.

As the savior of the world, your task is to stop the zombies from escaping and thereby save the world from the virus they carry.

But, China does not like the game one bit and banned it on the top gaming platform Steam.

That's partly because, according to Abacus, the game got a little too close for comfort. Its bright red background and round yellow viruses look like the Chinese flag, and not just a little.

Plus, players get to achieve certain badges for completing tasks called "Taiwan is not China" and "Liberate Hong Kong".

The game's creator, the mythical MythZ, told Abacus that the game was not intended as an insult to China so much as an insult to those who left Wuhan before it was locked down.
