Microsoft’s Edge extensions store hosted illicit copies of Sonic

 Microsoft’s Edge extensions store was hosting likely illegal copies of variety 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 blockbuster Minecraft. The developers listed on the titles weren’t Microsoft, Nintendo, or the other recognizable game developer, meaning that they almost certainly aren’t official copies of the games.


In the hours since we published this story, about one game we found has been removed. We had also seen another Sonic game, another Mario game, a few of Pac-Man games, and a spread of copies of 2048, Flappy Bird, Fruit Ninja, Temple Run, but they aren’t available anymore. All that is still is what appears to be a replica of Google Chrome’s dinosaur game.
