White House Removes Tetris-Inspired Arcade Game Amid Copyright Dispute

2 weeks ago 0

The White House, under President Donald Trump, recently initiated an online arcade featuring games tailored to align with Trump’s agenda. These included games like Supply Line, where players sort school lunches to ensure they are nutritious, and Rio Run, simulating border patrol.

One of the launched games was Build the Wall, reminiscent of the classic block-stacking game Tetris. By Wednesday morning, this game was no longer available on the White House Arcade site.

The removal followed a copyright claim from The Tetris Company. The company informed Newsweek that it did not contribute to Build the Wall and that no authorization or licensing was provided for using the Tetris brand or intellectual property.

For more than 40 years, Tetris has united people of various generations and cultures through play and joy. The game’s purpose is to stack with purpose, clearing as many lines as possible. We are looking into this matter.

Additionally, The Tetris Company reiterated its stance on Instagram, affirming its non-involvement and emphasizing its serious approach to copyright infringement.

This issue continues to develop, and further updates are anticipated.
