No the game should not i die, the hype should calm down and go away. People also ruined henry stickman with the "SaD chArleS😭" GrEatEst plAn" stuff. Honestly people like to compare fall guys and among us just because they look similiar. Am i the only one who think its pretty dumb to compare games just because they are popular?

    Yeah, so many red flags here just from the Chrome Webstore page. Sadly, there are SO MANY extensions like this. So, so many. It's ridiculous. You could make a series of literally hundreds of episodes analyzing all of them. Plz don't, tho; they're all the same, more or less. You can file reports on them, but there's nothing stopping them from making more and reuploading the same extensions. It's the same as email scammers. You can report them, but email addresses are free, so they can infinitely make more. I wish Google would limit how Chrome extensions are submitted.

    The most I might expect to see is someone reverse-engineering the protocol and putting a project on github/gitlab/subversion.
    But trust me, last year I researched FaceTime-compatible applications for MSWin/Linux/Android so my daughter could meet with her tutors. I probably saw this one and would have thought "um... no, not even touching that one". Ended up having her use my old 2010 MacBook Pro until I got hold of an old iPad2.
    If it weren't that she specifically needed Facetime, I wouldn't ever bother with such a closed, proprietary protocol.

Also, in the background, the real app would show what the camera sees, and that whole UI doesn't look like an Apple UI on second glance.

      i mean steam also kinda has a problem like this. maybe not viruses but it still kinda has a problem like this. like come on there is a game on steam that is a fighter game which is a completely ripped asset from the unity asset store and it costs 200 dollars. so yeah maybe not that unusual to see.

    Since you published this, all the various versions of this extension are now a 404 (I found 3, all of them released this year).
    There is still an external "chromebook" version of this that basically goes directly to that web app/site, though - Google can't yank that, the best they can do is somehow block it in chromeOS.
    Seeing that their "register" accepts empty input, these guys can be easily taken down with a DoS, though...

    I’m honestly not surprised. Google has been absolutely garbage at managing unwanted content on their digital storefronts for years. At least Apple’s App Store has better quality assurance than both of Google’s Play Store and the Chrome Web Store combined. Sure, some malware slips through Apple’s QA, but it’s certainly not as frequent as the Play Store & the Chrome Web Store.

    Malicious/scam extensions being on the Chrome Web Store isn't new, it's been a problem for quite a while. The COVID-19 pandemic most likely caused an uptick in these kind of extensions being submitted to the Chrome Web Store (as people are obviously staying at home more often). Obviously use common sense when installing an extension to your browser (i.e. check things like developer username, extension preview images, extension description, the permissions an extension is requesting, etc.).

    While Facetime actually uses open standard audio/video codecs and protocols as the basis for their software, only Apple's software can connect as they use encryption of which the keys are embedded into their software and are well protected. People have tried to extract the keys and have failed so far. So no, nobody other than Apple can make Facetime compatible software due to the encryption.

    If you see a link that needs a deal as human verification, note that the deal will need you to complete another deal, and then another one, and more until you give up. And if you end the deals you don't get what you want, even though it appears to be "official." Some other tricks is the link shows every single one of the people that used it and it appears to be real. But what it does is give you deals that you can complete that leads to one another. More and more will need to be completed if you think it is official. *DON'T EVEN CLICK ON THOSE DEALS, OR YOU WILL BE INSTANTLY HACKED*
