Feature request: gpo to disable the game under "edge://surf"

Hi. Since Microsoft Edge 82.* there is a offline game in the browser integrated. See here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/dev-channel-update-to-82-0-432-3-is-live/m-p/1196870/...

Brian Altman my kids are playing this constantly while I'm trying to do home schooling. Is this available to home users to disable? Losing my mind and pass on my frustrations to the dev team.

  Bigman460 The only way I know how to do this is by disabling it is using the Allow surf game policy. However, this may not work on your home device because it depends on which edition of Windows you're running. Try following the guidance in the Configure Microsoft Edge article. Note on a local device place the ADMX and ADML files in the C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\* folder and use Local GP Editor to set the policy.
