![]() We didn’t see this purported tweet ourselves, and it isn’t currently on the account right now. Oddly, Microsoft itself appeared to promote the browser extensions in what looks to be a now-deleted tweet from the account, which we saw via ResetEra. Many listings, even from different developers, had very similar descriptions, indicating that they could be coming from the same source. Initially, we saw 35 listings across 10 different “developers” with names like “GamePro Inc,” “Gamelands,” “StayReal” and “Kday,” including a number of duplicate games. In the hours since we published this story, every one we initially linked has been pulled down, but others still exist for now, like this Sonic game, this Mario game, a couple of Pac-Man games, and a variety of copies of 2048, Flappy Bird, Fruit Ninja, Temple Run and others. ![]() The developers listed on the titles aren’t Microsoft, Nintendo, or any other recognizable game developer, meaning that they almost certainly aren’t official copies of the games. Microsoft’s Edge extensions store was hosting likely illegal copies of a number of iconic games, including Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Pac-Man, Tetris, Cut The Rope, and even Microsoft’s own smash hit Minecraft.
