In September of 2005, an error in the coding of a plague in World of  Warcraft caused a real uncontrolled outbreak of a deadly pandemic across  the game world. Effecting almost the entire player base, the Corrupted  Blood Plague had more in common with our real life pandemic a decade and  a half later than it appears on the surface. Join us today as our  friends Brittany and Bryan from Switching to Game Chat join us to talk  us about the video game virus that had IRL consequences.
