    What’s really funny is that Tetris was originally invented in Soviet Russia.

      It America perfected it by adding immense legal threats to it.

    Man why is the government so full of small dick cowards. Can’t take a little legal threat from some video game company for kids. Shameful.

    In a just world, it’d be yanked because it’s xenophobic and hateful. But I’ll take copyright infringement.

    Is the Tetris Company the force that can finally counter the alt-right?

      If they line up their pieces right, it might just disappear.

    Now the real question is: did they file the DMCA takedown beforehand, or just intimidate them with that press statement?
