Microsoft’s Edge extensions store was hosting illegal copies of a number of iconic games

The developers listed on the titles are n’t Microsoft, Nintendo, or any other recognizable game developer. They almost certainly are n’t official copies of the games.

Every one we initially linked has been pulled down, but others still exist. Some copies of 2048, Flappy Bird, Fruit Ninja, Temple run and others remain.

Many listings, even from different developers, had very similar descriptions, suggesting that they could be coming from the same source. Many listing, including a number of duplicate games, were very similar.

There are screenshots of just a few of the games we found. Here are screenshots from the games they found.

A now-deleted Tweet appears to be from the @ msedgedev account, which we saw via resetera.

The Tetris extension appears to be a clone of the famous puzzle game. It does n’t download a ROM, says chase chase.

Some of the games we found have reviews dating back to October. It’s unclear why they have been available for so long.
