The White House launched a video game inspired by the classic Tetris to promote Trump's border policy. The game, which simulates the construction of a wall on the southern border of the United States, was made available as part of a government communication campaign.
The company that holds the Tetris rights came forward to ensure that it did not authorize the use of its game mechanics. Tetris Holding LLC states that it was not consulted and gave no permission for the use of its intellectual property.
The situation places the White House in a delicate position, as it uses the image of an iconic game to promote one of the most controversial policies of the Trump administration.
Given this situation, the company owning the rights admits it may take legal action against the White House. Tetris Holding LLC is evaluating its legal options and does not rule out a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
