Tetris Holdings Responds After White House Launches 'Build the Wall' Game
- 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.
