The conspiracy theories surrounding Bill Gates and his supposedly dark role in the pandemic seem to have no end.
“Omicron was the name of a 1999 video game by Microsoft – Bill Gates – with demons pretending to be humans and reaping their souls,” he wrote in a Facebook post on December 13.
Within two days, the post had over 1,200 interactions, and Twitter users began writing about the claim. Soon, similar versions of the theory that wants the billionaire Microsoft founder to “know something” about the Omicron mutation 22 whole years before its appearance began to appear on TikTok.
After all, on social media, theories that want Gates to have planned the pandemic or to “plant” microchips through vaccines are raging.
USA Today “looked” at the subject of the video game Omicron and his relationship with Bill Gates and concluded that it was an inaccuracy. First of all, the name of the video game was spelled differently (Omikron, with “k”) than the mutation (Omicron, with “c”). Most of all, though, this video game had nothing to do with Bill Gates. Developed by a French developer and not by Microsoft.
In fact, “Omikron: The Nomad Soul” was created by David Cage’s French Quantic Dream and released by Eidos Interactive on November 2, 1999. The game may have been released on Microsoft’s Windows platform, but was not created by Gates’s company or himself. And in 2000, it was released on the Dreamcast game console.
The game takes place in a futuristic city called Omikron, in a parallel dimension. Players fight demons who want to take their souls.
Any similarities with the new coronavirus mutation are limited to the fact that the World Health Organization chose the Greek letter Omicron to name this strain. Previously, he had given coronavirus mutations the names Alpha, Beta, Delta, etc.
