The White House recently hosted a collection of arcade-style video games on its official website, including a title named “Build the Wall” that closely mirrored the gameplay mechanics of Tetris. This game, which tasked players with stacking blocks to construct a wall against a “zombie border siege,” faced significant criticism for its perceived racist undertones. Following public outcry, the Tetris Company, the entity holding the rights to the original Tetris game, issued a statement clarifying its lack of involvement in the creation of “Build the Wall” and emphasized its stance against copyright infringement.

In response to the Tetris Company’s complaint, the White House removed “Build the Wall” from its website, as evidenced by the now-returning 404 error for the game’s page. Despite this action, another game titled “Rio Run,” which involves a white male character deporting immigrant characters, remains accessible on the government’s site. The Trump administration has not yet provided a comment on the matter. Source
