Please blacklist covid/corona from player names

Without endorsing it by any means people sometimes use dark humor to cope with what’s happening

You’ll think it’s all some hilarious joke until it hits close to home.

I think in the case of Plague Inc, that Apple decided that the didn’t want to be seen as profiting (30%) off of a pandemic game during a real life pandemic.

It isn’t banned. If you own it already, you can play it and even re download it. They just aren’t selling it currently.

Or that it wasn’t worth the risk that they might have been seen that way by some.

BTW: I own Plague Inc on three different platforms.

Eat less bats eat more chicken

I believe that I read that the current thought is that it originated with bats but there is an intermediary species between bat and human that isn’t known yet.

Now Ebola definitely comes from eating bats.

Since The Black Death pops up in China periodically from people eating rats, it may turn out to be rats again.

That joke made me sick :wink:

Wait apple pulled Plague, Inc from sales? Or did Plague, Inc pull itself?

As I understand it, it isn’t banned. Sales of it have been suspended. It could be Apple, the developer or both.

I think everything and everybody can be funny if done properly. Who are you to say that people can’t joke about this corona virus? Some names and guild names I’ve seen have made me chuckle forsure.

The way I look at it, they are basically wearing a sign warning you what an awful person they are. Saving you some time. You can just add to ignore and move on, no need to ban words.

I named this character Sticks because if I ever level her she will always dual wield staves.

Please blacklist people who dont understand that dark humor is a perfectly acceptable way of dealing with tragedy and stress.

I remember the days when people didnt get offended about everything.

Well eating bats leads to caging bats with all the other animals in close proximity. Even having pigs with chickens can lead to cross species viruses. Things like ferrets as well are really good candidates to take things from birds and pass it along time other mammals. They got it all in that Wuhan slum.

I think it’s fitting for Warlocks.

I’m not some special snowflake that gets triggered over things, this is just distasteful to allow people to make light of this situation like this.

Uhh

You kind of are tbh

I don’t get why people get triggered over screen names, just ignore it if you don’t like it.
