Touch controls
Hello, I was wondering if this game supports touch control on PC (since it came from a mobile origin and so what). Couldn't find info about it anywhere. Thanks!

I thought this would be great for my tablet, but my tablet (thinkpad tablet 2) did not have a good enought GPU, but yeah, I would agree, this would be great on a tablet, since all you do it point and click.

Actually this didnt come from mobile orgin it was ported to Mobile. It has been a PC game for some time now having early version released before this one came to steam. The mobile version and this one are two diffrent creatures.

Actually, no -- the Android and iOS versions predate the PC one for years.

I played it on my dell venue 8 pro. Works fine but two-finger zoom does not seem to work.
Also: There is no way to quit the game without ESC?

Touch devices automatically translate touch input to mouse input, so the point-and-click actions will all work fine. But you won't get touch-specific actions like swipe and pinch, because those don't have mouse translations.

Maybe one day there'll be a Windows Mobile version of the game ... but considering its low user-base, I would imagine that's somewhere below Linux in the list of priorities :-)

Microsoft should coop with Valve and market 8.1 tablets as mobile steam machines. I love my Dell Venue 8 Pro and would never go back to Android or iPad.

Necroing this because a year has gone by =P

Is touch support officially in the game by now? I tested an old version out some time ago and the touch-to-mouse translation isn't smooth enough =/

That is not really accurate. On the website Kongregate this game has existed for a LONG time before it was made for phone...

You are right if you are talking about the version at the game website Kongregate

I really could care less about which version came first.

Nah you're thinking of Pandemic, which is not the same game.

What Carrell1109 said is completely accurate.

No, it's not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_Inc.

Plague for mobiles came in 2012, Plague for PC's came in 2014.

The game was INSPIRED by Pandemic 2 which exists as a browser-based Flash game since 2008.

Well yeah. "Inspired by" means it's not the same game.

Although I see misquoted the person who said that, it was you and not Carrell1109 :-)
