Trump Administration Managed to Anger Tetris Developers
The Tetris Company has spoken out against the game Build the Wall, published in the new White House Arcade section on the official White House website. The Tetris developers emphasized that they are not affiliated with the project and stated that its message contradicts the company's values.
At Tetris, we believe in the power of communication and bringing people together, not dividing them. To our fans around the world – we love you, we see you, and we are grateful for you being a part of our community.
Last week, the White House launched a section with small browser games dedicated to the administration's activities and initiatives related to Donald Trump's policies. One of them was Build the Wall – essentially a Tetris clone, where the player needs to build a wall as high as possible instead of clearing lines.
The game's title refers to Trump's long-standing promise to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. According to the plot, the player must prevent an "approaching horde" from breaking through the border. Formally, the opponents are presented as zombies, but a sign with the inscription Southern Border unequivocally links what is happening to the southern US border and migration from Mexico.
