    • Patient Zero downloads the virus.
    • Virus embeds itself in any mods Patient Zero uploaded to the Workshop.
    • Anyone who subscribes to any of Patient Zero’s mods auto-updates with the virus.
    • When these people launch the game, the mods they uploaded are also infected the virus.
    • And so on and so on until everyone is infected.

      That would make sense, although I think it’s unlikely that it embeds itself into the mods. It would probably replace itself. Since in order to embed itself into the mod, it would have to know how the mod is made/structured but I guess it would be possible if it was able to completely replace the existing mods with the worm.
