probably true, but viruses are typically self reproducing and this isnt.

Now if you take it from the perspective of the SI engineeers, its possible that you could term it as a virus. If they keep producing bug infested code one could make that argument.

but honestly, I think its a lack of real testing and good quality control.

But on the other hand, it could be all this is nothing in the big scheme of things. Perhaps, they designed this into the system so only the brave and foolish could try venturing out beyond the walls to see what lies beyond....

In which case this feature is not a bug at all.

And if true, I applaud the engineers for lettting us go beyond the walls of civilization....
