The White House removes the game "Son of the Wall" after a warning from "Tetris" about copyright infringement

(CNN) - The White House deleted from its website a gaming-style game called “Build the Wall,” which was designed very similar to the famous “Tetris” game. This step came after the company that owns the game "Tetris" warned of "copyright infringement."

Last week, the White House launched a series of games on its website to promote the priorities of President Donald Trump's administration, but two games that focused on the issue of immigration - "Build the Wall" and "Rio Race" - quickly sparked negative reactions and criticism, including from the "Tetris" brand, which stated that it believes in "the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them."

The “Build the Wall” game, which debuted on the site on Thursday, required users to stack bricks and “hold the ground” (or hold the line) in the face of a “border siege launched by zombies.”

Shortly after its launch, Tetris posted a statement on Instagram confirming that it had “no involvement in creating the game,” adding: “We take the issue of copyright infringement very seriously.”

The game had disappeared from the White House website by Wednesday, but some footage of it still appears in videos posted by the White House on social media.

The White House did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.

A representative of Miller PR, which represents the Tetris brand, told CNN on Wednesday: “Tetris has no comment.”

Another immigration-themed game, Rio Race, is still on the White House website. This game, similar to Snake, requires users to “patroll the line” along the Rio Grande River and “capture every border crosser” to achieve the highest score in deportations.

The White House is also still offering three other “arcade”-style games: one that asks users to fill out “Trump Kids Accounts”; Another asks them to direct the flight of the “bald eagle” (the American national symbol) over the “National Mall” area; A third game allows users to sort the ingredients of a school lunch with the goal of “Make America Healthy Again.”

The launch of these "arcade" games is the latest in the White House's bold and provocative online efforts to provoke Democrats, practices that have sometimes led to the emergence of racist and offensive images.

Trump and the White House have faced harsh criticism, for example, over their use of social media and official government platforms; Including posting racist and offensive photos, such as a photo of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a Mexican sombrero hat, and a photo of former President Barack Obama's family showing them as apes in the jungle.

Last week, a White House official described “arcade” games (traditional video games in arcades) as “an attempt to highlight the contrast between the culture of fun and victory, and the dark socialist vision that Democrats hold for America.”

On social media, the White House has shown no signs of backing down from using video game-inspired images to promote its agenda.

On Tuesday, for example, the White House posted a video clip on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter) simulating the game “The Legend of Zelda” produced by Nintendo, and called it “Trump Legends.”

The messages that the administration broadcasts through social media are not limited to video games only; On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted an AI-generated image of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency modeled after the “Transformers” movie poster, with the caption: “Transformers: The Age of Deportation.”
