White House takes down ‘Build the Wall’ game after the Tetris Company complains
白宫在《俄罗斯方块》公司投诉后下架“筑墙”游戏
A video game posted to the Trump administration’s website — one that closely resembled Tetris — has been taken down after the Tetris Company complained. 特朗普政府在其网站上发布了一款与《俄罗斯方块》(Tetris)高度相似的电子游戏,但在《俄罗斯方块》公司提出投诉后,该游戏已被下架。
The White House recently took the unusual step of posting a number of arcade-style video games to its website. One of the more controversial was a game called “Build the Wall,” which reportedly mirrored Tetris’ gameplay, tasking players with stacking blocks of various shapes and sizes. 白宫近期采取了一项不同寻常的举措,在其官网上发布了一系列街机风格的电子游戏。其中最具争议的一款名为“筑墙”(Build the Wall),据报道,该游戏模仿了《俄罗斯方块》的玩法,要求玩家堆叠各种形状和大小的方块。
Widely criticized as racist, the stated goal of the game was to build a wall in order to keep out a “zombie border siege.” 该游戏因被广泛批评为种族主义而备受争议,其设定的游戏目标是建造一堵墙,以抵御一场“僵尸边境围攻”。
Not long after Build the Wall’s existence became public, the Tetris Company — which owns the rights to the original Tetris game — spoke out about it, clarifying that it had no role in its creation. 在“筑墙”游戏的存在被公开后不久,《俄罗斯方块》公司(拥有原版游戏版权)便对此公开发声,澄清其并未参与该游戏的制作。
“The Tetris Company was not involved in the creation of ‘Build the Wall’,” it said in an Instagram post, adding: “We take copyright infringement very seriously.” 该公司在 Instagram 上发文称:“《俄罗斯方块》公司并未参与‘筑墙’游戏的制作。”并补充道:“我们非常重视版权侵权问题。”
The page for Build the Wall now returns a “404” error, meaning the page no longer exists. Kotaku first spotted that the game was no longer visible on the White House’s website. TechCrunch has reached out to the Trump administration for comment. 目前,“筑墙”游戏的页面已显示“404”错误,意味着该页面已不存在。Kotaku 网站最先发现该游戏已从白宫官网上消失。TechCrunch 已联系特朗普政府寻求置评。
Still visible on the government’s website is a game called Rio Run, where players control a white male character whose goal is to deport as many immigrant characters as possible. 目前在政府官网上仍可见的一款游戏名为《里约快跑》(Rio Run),玩家在游戏中控制一名白人男性角色,其目标是尽可能多地驱逐移民角色。
