The Border Wall Tetris Clone: A Cautionary Tale for Politicians and Game Developers The White House's online arcade recently removed "Build the Wall," a browser based game that borrowed heavily from the classic block stacking mechanics of Tetris.
The game's removal was precipitated by public pushback from The Tetris Company, which had initially distanced itself from the project due to concerns about copyright infringement.
While it is true that "Build the Wall" was not entirely original, its similarity to Tetris raises questions about the White House's understanding of intellectual property law and its willingness to engage with the gaming community.
