Hello!
I have a text to translate and I don’t know the meaning of certain words:
‘Here come the alpha pups (alpha pups ?)
A company develops a video game about an alien virus.(‘an alien’ virus is a bug in your computer?).How do they make kids want it? The answer is easy: they give it to the coolest kids they can find.’
Thank you for your time!
Apparently “alpha pup” is marketing-speak for “coolest kid in the neighborhood” or “junior early-adopter”. It is presumably coined from “alpha dog” (top dog in a pack), being a junior version thereof.

An “alien virus” sounds most likely to be a biological virus of extraterrestrial origin.
Thank you, Dozy!
