Tetris suggests White House ‘Build the Wall’ game infringes copyright
Tetris said it did not authorize the clone and is reviewing possible copyright action as the White House’s arcade page draws criticism over immigration themes.
- The Tetris Company said Friday it did not authorize or license its intellectual property for a 'Build the Wall' game released on the White House website Thursday, stating it was 'not involved in the creation' of the controversial title.
- On Thursday, the White House launched an online 'arcade' page featuring five video games that promote administration policies, including 'Rio Run,' a clone of the 'Snake' game where players imprison immigrants on the southern border.
- Asserting rights from a 2012 copyright case, Tetris denounced the clone for dividing people, adding that the company takes copyright infringement 'very seriously' and is reviewing the matter.
- Rights advocates condemned the games for featuring racist themes, with Amerika Garcia Grewal, co-director of the Frontera Federation, stating the designers 'have lost touch with what it means to be human and care for others.'
- Unauthorized use of copyrighted works, including music by musician Olivia Rodrigo and imagery from Sega Corporation and the 'Halo' video game series, marks a recurring pattern of administration controversies regarding mass deportation efforts.
