The White House pulls its racist Tetris clone

白宫下架其种族主义色彩的俄罗斯方块克隆游戏

The White House has taken down its racist Tetris ripoff days after launching a website dedicated to “arcade” games, as spotted earlier by Kotaku. The Tetris clone, called “Build the Wall,” involved stacking different-sized blocks to prevent a “zombie border siege.”

在白宫推出专门的“街机”游戏网站几天后，据 Kotaku 此前报道，白宫已经下架了其带有种族主义色彩的俄罗斯方块克隆游戏。这款名为“筑墙”（Build the Wall）的俄罗斯方块克隆游戏，内容是堆叠不同大小的方块，以阻止一场“僵尸边境围攻”。

It’s not clear why the White House removed the title, though the Tetris Company previously said that it’s looking into the situation. “For more than 40 years, Tetris has brought people together across generations and cultures through play and joy,” Tetris spokesperson Kerri Brusca told The Verge last week. “The objective of the game has always been to stack with purpose to clear as many lines as possible. We are currently reviewing the matter.”

目前尚不清楚白宫为何下架该游戏，不过俄罗斯方块公司（The Tetris Company）此前曾表示正在调查此事。俄罗斯方块公司发言人 Kerri Brusca 上周告诉 The Verge：“四十多年来，俄罗斯方块通过游戏和快乐，将不同世代和文化背景的人们联系在一起。这款游戏的目标始终是有目的地堆叠方块，以尽可能多地消除行数。我们目前正在审查此事。”

The Verge reached out to the Tetris Company with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.

The Verge 已联系俄罗斯方块公司请求置评，但未立即收到回复。

Other “games” that align with President Donald Trump’s agenda are still available on the White House’s website, including the Flappy Bird ripoff “Flappy Bill,” a Tapper-like game called “Supply Line,” “Trump Savings Tycoon,” and “Rio Run.”

其他符合唐纳德·特朗普总统议程的“游戏”仍然可以在白宫网站上找到，包括模仿《Flappy Bird》的“Flappy Bill”、类似《Tapper》的“Supply Line”、“特朗普储蓄大亨”（Trump Savings Tycoon）以及“里约快跑”（Rio Run）。
