10 Video Game Plagues That Would Destroy The World

8. The Dollar Flu - The Division

Black Friday sucks. It’s full of people screaming and shouting over a saving of 5%, the roads are rammed, and your loved ones are hogging all the bandwidth looking for more deals. Though none of the Black Friday’s we've experienced so far hold anything to the deadly intensity that took over the world of The Division.

The Dollar Flu is essentially a weaponized version of the smallpox virus, which was distributed about during the mania of Black Friday. While victims initially possess no symptoms, it is possible for them to infect others during the incubation period, ensuring it travels very fast and far.

While I’ve worked in retail myself and often think that as world wide epidemic is needed to eradicate some of the customer base I’ve dealt with, this is probably not going to benefit me. What’s left over is a post-apocalyptic setting which sees only 5% of the population immune to its effects.

So while it all sounds good on paper, I’d probably just be left in a world ran by lunatics and all the people I hate.
