The White House made a "Tetris" clone. The Tetris Company was not amused.

Comments

1. Lucasbrarxo: amazing they finally ran into some actual copyright law. would be cool to see the source code for this one
2. Echo Specter: no wonder they had to shut it down - that thing was an abomination to the good name of Tetris. 'Geometry Run'? more like Geometry Fail
3. Yaraweber: a Tetris clone that's not even a decent imitation of the real thing? what were they thinking?
4. Lena: it's only tetris when some suit decides to make it corporate
5. Dane: I've seen some lazy games in my time, but the bit where they just called it 'Block' and expected us to be cool about it
6. Zero Phantom: amazed they made an actual Tetris clone in-house, not just some shallow branded tie-in
7. Bruno: it's weird to see Tetris used as a prop for some administration's ideological battles. can't imagine what other public domain classics would be used next
8. Velvet Oracle: seems like trying to copyright nostalgia isn't exactly gonna work though
