The Tetris Company confirms it had nothing to do with the White House's racist rip-off: 'we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them'

The Tetris Company has firmly denied any involvement in the White House's controversial "Build the Wall" game, which they describe as a racist rip-off. In a clear statement on Instagram, the company reaffirmed its belief in the power of connection and bringing people together, rather than dividing them. The Tetris Company emphasized that they were not involved in the creation of the game and reiterated their commitment to protecting their intellectual property, stating that they take copyright infringement very seriously.

Other gaming companies, such as the creators of Halo and The Pokémon Company, have also expressed their disapproval of the White House's use of their intellectual property for political purposes.
