The White House has been relentlessly leveraging the popularity of various games and anime without restraint, partly due to the "tolerance" of certain companies. However, a recent mini-game using Tetris to imply the construction of a border wall met its match. After the Tetris copyright holder issued a statement of protest, the White House actually compromised.
· This mini-game is just one of five games. Its background and gameplay easily remind people of one of the U.S. President's notable achievements: "building the wall." Of course, none of these games were authorized by any copyright holders.
· The Tetris Company, the copyright holder of Tetris, quickly responded by issuing a statement protesting the White House's infringement. Surprisingly, the White House backed down this time and quietly removed the mini-game. Currently, four mini-games remain on the site, and it remains to be seen how other game copyright holders whose IPs were forcibly leveraged will respond.
