Tetris Company issues warning to White House over copyright infringement

The Tetris Company has publicly addressed the Trump administration following the release of a web-based game titled "Build the Wall" on the government's new Arcade.gov portal. The game, which features mechanics clearly cloned from the classic 1984 puzzle title, is part of a series of games designed to promote administration policies. In a statement released via social media, the Tetris team explicitly distanced itself from the project, stating they were not involved in its creation. Furthermore, the company issued a stern warning regarding intellectual property rights, noting that they take copyright infringement very seriously. This incident follows a pattern of various intellectual property holders, including the Pokémon Company, distancing themselves from government-produced content that utilizes their assets without authorization. The Tetris Company emphasized its commitment to community and connection, contrasting its brand values with the divisive nature of the administration's game.
