GoKawiilWhite House removes 'Build the Wall' Tetris clone from arcade site
The White House quietly took down 'Build the Wall,' a Tetris-style browser game framed as stopping a 'zombie border siege,' just days after launching an arcade-themed section of its website. The removal follows criticism of the game's content and comes after Tetris Company said it was reviewing the situation. Other Trump-agenda-themed games, including a Flappy Bird clone and a Tapper-style title, remain live on the site.
