Plague Inc sees a boost in download because of Ebola scare

There are a few things I never thought I would ever get to post as news. One of those things is the fact that something real world would effect the download numbers of a mobile game, especially an event that has people freaked out a bit. However here we are posting that Plague Inc has seen a jump in downloads in recent weeks due to the Ebola scare that is currently going on.

According to creator James Vaughan, his game has seen a pretty big jump in downloads as of late, with last week’s numbers being 50% higher than normal.

I think this is the first time a real world situation has been the reason why people are getting the game.

Apparently James will be giving an extra amount of proceeds to relevant charities because of the increase in downloads and profit that happens to be coming in because of this. We do have to say this is pretty interesting although the increase could be from something else.
