Community Winners - Have your own Plague Inc: Evolved news headline featured in-game!

[76561198123023651]

A few weeks ago we launched a competition to have your very own news headline featured in Plague Inc. and Plague Inc: Evolved. Today we can finally announce the winners...

We were absolutely blown away by the response - both the volume and the quality of the answers. We had a colossal 479 entries overall and it was really, really fun to go through them all - a great effort from everybody on this forum, and over on our Ndemic forum.

With all that being said, choosing a single winner ended up being extremely difficult... Therefore we are very happy to announce that we have actually chosen SIX winners who will have their headlines featured in the game!

The winners are...

• Pagan - Steam Forum - Mobile game developer trademarks the word 'The'
  
• The Punisher - Steam Forum - Miami police establish hotline to find killer
  
• Grey-X - Ndemic Forum - Missing woman 'entered police box with strange man'
  
• Professor Bacon - Ndemic Forum - Gangnam Style rewritten as major Broadway musical
  
• YellowLion - Ndemic Forum - Connection issues disrupt virtual reality wedding
  
• Hollow - Ndemic Forum - Jogger smiles at camera, becomes popular

Congratulations to you all, and thank you to everyone for entering. Watch out for their headlines in our next update which is coming really soon.

And remember - there is still an extra special prize to be awarded if any of these headlines make it onto the front page of Reddit...

P.S. - as mentioned previously, a few of these headlines have had very minor tweaks in order to perfectly fit into the game

lol i didn't even know about the comp, but i've seen all of those ingame, laughed at each one, just random humour in there.

quite like the one that was something like 'plague game goes "viral"' that popped up, was like 'lol they made a game about the game i'm playing, in the game i'm playing' ahh good times.
