The meteoric rise of the game Among Us appears to be outpacing its developer's ability to keep up with malicious actors.

Among Us takes place in a space setting, where some platers are "Crewmates," and others are "Imposters" that live among us.

A scroll through the Among Us subreddit shows breaches on the game are frequent, in addition to rampant cheating.

Among Us was the most downloaded mobile game in the world during September, with 83.8 million installs, according to SensorTower, which added that's 40 times more than the same month last year.

"However, seeing how many people are enjoying Among Us 1 really makes us want to be able to support the game and take it to the next level. We have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead put all our focus into improving Among Us 1.".
