I’ve had a dumb idea, how would slammer react to a large scale rts like hoi4 (where you play as an entire country throughout the world war period) how would it react to games without any actual characters as well like Tetris and how would it effect something like rule the waves 3 or the unity game dev engine? Would the slammer virus ever play with a user for entertainment or a challenge? Does the slammer virus keep any deals it makes with other viruses/.exes?

Slammer: where the fuck am I? (standing in the middle of a battle field just so damn confused)
Actual answer: I think Slammer would treat a game like that similar to how plague Ink works, though honestly it's more likely the virus would just consume the games code to the point it becomes unplayable/unable to be opened.

2: Honestly it would just leave games like that alone, there's not really any fun to be had in games like that for Slammer, the virus has bit of a sadistic side to it, and it likes putting others thru pain.
Would the slammer virus ever play with a user for entertainment or a challenge?
3: Basically would Slammer act like the original Sonic.exe in anyway? I like to think yes if they got powerful enough Slammer Prime, would likely start to mess with actual people and make a player witness everything it does to a game.
Slammer would also leave cryptic messages throughout the user's computer and alter their computer's files, though it has no way to actually harm them, the virus would at some point be powerful enough to make it seem like it could. By controlling any and all electronics inside someones home.
Sometimes it all ain't about killing, it's about striking fear and making humans/players think you can kill them at any time, breaking down someone's mind to the point of insanity is much more fun for Slammer.

4: Officially Slammer has not met any virus or exe's, but if they did well they would likely yes keep the deal they make Slammer might be sadistic, but they also remain loyal even if Slammer became powerful enough to kill them. The only time Slammer would betray someone is if they tried to first.
Slammer isn't above assimilating other virus/exe's though and I know for a fact, Slammer has at least assimilated another virus known as MyDoom, Slammer uses that viruses ability's to travel thru emails it was able to assimilate it easier since that was another worm virus.
But say Slammer did assimilate another exe? Yes they'd keep some of the exe's traits at least in their Prime version, so the more exe's the more Slammer primes Sonic form would be altered slightly.
Mod Monnie: Bonus Answer for a question you didn't ask but it's important!
I've stated in the past but Slammer uses they/them, it/it's pronouns HOWEVER if it has a host from a game aka Slammer Prime and Sonic? it will take it's hosts pronouns as well.
So Slammer Prime (Slammer Sonic) would be They/Them, It/It's and He/Him.
