Jesus people need to get a grip, or this has been the best marketing campaign ever for resi 3.

I mean.... the logo is similar. I think it's a cool coincidence.

Creepy indeed but maybe resident evil got its logo inspiration from this lab.

The lab was just recently built though in the last few years.

The Chinese are infamous for disregarding IP laws and all that good stuff. Probably stole the logo without even a second thought. The irony is palpable.

And weird AF

Maybe I should play Plague Inc. again. Killing off the human race with a disease is good fun...although waiting for it to happen takes a while and the gameplay gets repetitive after a while. I think that's why I stopped playing it.

The player behind the Coronavirus clearly went with the China strategy, which is where China is chosen as ground zero for the disease as its large population and proximity and airports and ports to other countries make it ideal for spreading it further. I'm more partial to the strategy where I pick a country that's really difficult to infect as the game progresses, and start there. It takes a while for it to spread, and even longer for it to leave the country, but once it does it inevitably infects countries like the US and China anyway.
