Drakengard/Nier in the history tell an interesting story of an affliction but not sure if it'd qualify as a Virus. Most of the other things I can thing of have been mentioned.

Maybe a stretch again, but the Zerg essentially act like a virus. An entire sentient species being a virus might be interesting.

I feel like Corrupted Blood in WoW is the most interesting and most similar to COVID considering the devs didnt mean for it to happen and WoW players had healers and quarantine zones and stuff

Well if you don't need literal viruses, the Filth in the Secret World was really cool. This primordial black ooze that corrupted anything it touched.

Ans then later Control came out with a similar concept in the Hiss.

Speaking of Fallout, you have the FEV. Forced Evolutionary Virus, it made the Super Mutants and a few other things like Deathclaws and Centaurs.

EDIT: beaten by seconds by teep lol

Honestly, this was my immediate thought.

I haven't played many games mentioned in the thread but I have played Fallouts 3 through 4 and the FEV is a pretty big deal in the wasteland, for those that know about it anyway.

That is really the question. Right now, it's a survey of viruses in games. I'm trying to get a larger picture of how game developers think of viruses and how gamers generally interact with them.

If I can get "an about," it's definitely a good, top-tier paper since it's so timely and relevant. If I can't though, I can still probably fit it in a second-tier journal, get lots of citations because it's about viruses in gaming, and no one would be the wiser 10-20 years down the line.
Interesting premise.
