The company took to social media late last week to say that they were not involved in the creation of the game. 'At Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing. To our fans everywhere: we love you, we see you and we're grateful to have you in our community,' the company wrote. 'P.S. The Tetris Company was not involved in the creation of 'Build the Wall.' 'P.P.S. We take copyright infringement very seriously.' The 'Build the Wall' game orders players to 'protect the border from the coming horde' and has them use shapes similar to the ones in Tetris to build a wall to keep migrants out, which are represented by tiny zombies trying to breach the wall. It's one of a series of politically charged video games launched by the White House earlier this month at its site whitehouse.gov/arcade. Other games include 'Rio Run,' where a white border patrol agent goes around a board capturing would-be migrants, often with dark skin. When the agent captures the border runner, they're placed behind the agent in an orange jumpsuit. Other games have a bad eagle flying a piece of legislation across the National Mall and another where you fill 'Trump accounts' with diamonds and money. The White House published several social media posts promoting the games. 'CAN'T STOP WINNING. Build the wall. Deport. Fill a Trump Account,' it posted on X.
