• The White House removed the "Build The Wall" game from its online arcade.
• The decision followed copyright concerns from the Tetris Company.
• The game was themed around border security and was criticized for its racist undertones.
• Other games on the White House's arcade remain accessible.
• The Tetris Company emphasized its commitment to promoting unity and connectivity.

The White House has taken down a Tetris-style game titled "Build The Wall," which instructed players to "protect the border" with stacked blocks. The removal occurred just four days after a warning from the Tetris Company regarding copyright infringement, noting they were "not involved in the creation" of the game, according to South China Morning Post and Le Monde.

The Tetris Company posted on social media that it takes copyright infringement seriously and seeks to promote connection rather than division. The White House has not provided an official explanation for the game's removal, which was part of a spam of arcade games featuring politically charged themes that received backlash for their content, including problematic references to deportations and other controversies, as reported by BBC.

The online arcade, which was launched on September 4, also included other games such as "Flappy Bill" and "Rio Run," both of which have received criticism for their themes related to border control and deportation. The arcades have sparked debate among political figures, notably for drawing attention away from pressing issues such as economic conditions, as stated by various political critics, including comments from Connecticut Democratic state senator Matt Lesser, highlighted by BBC and South China Morning Post.
