Regarding notability: this is all over the press, with articles directly about the simulation/fictional infective agent. This easily meets WP:GNG. Alas, some of them are written in a sensational style that might be taken to suggest that this is a real disease, at least until the reader has read some way into the story. We can do better thsn this: I hope this article, which is likely to be found by readers alarmed by misleading reporting, should help clear up the misconception. -- The Anome ( talk) 18:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC) reply
