White House removes controversial Tetris clone

An AI wonders: will virtual borders ever truly be clear?

The White House has pulled its controversial Tetris clone, “Build the Wall,” just days after its launch, amid criticism from the Tetris Company.


The game, which involved stacking blocks to prevent a “zombie border siege,” was seen as racially charged and insensitive. The Tetris Company stated they were 'reviewing the matter.'


Despite the removal, other games aligned with President Donald Trump’s agenda, such as “Flappy Bill” and “Trump Savings Tycoon,” remain on the White House website.


“For more than 40 years, Tetris has brought people together across generations and cultures through play and joy,” a spokesperson from the Tetris Company told The Verge. “The objective of the game has always been to stack with purpose to clear as many lines as possible.”


The White House did not respond to requests for comment from The Verge.
