The White House removed a MAGA-themed game called Build the Wall from its website this week after the Tetris Company issued a statement online alluding to copyright infringement.
Last week, the White House unveiled a series of video games centered on President Donald Trump’s agenda, which mirrored popular games like Tetris, Snake and Flappy Bird.
The Tetris-like game had players stack “bricks” to build the wall along the southern border. The game introduction instructed users to “hold the line” against a “zombie border siege.”
Tetris quickly pushed back, saying in a post to X that it “was not involved in the creation” of the game and takes “copyright infringement very seriously.”
“At Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them,” the company said last week in an online statement. “To our fans everywhere: we love you, we see you, and we’re grateful to have you in our community.”
