The people in charge are, to put it in terms trump would understand, completely retarded. What I don't understand is where the checks and balances they swore kept the government running are. I haven't seen a single check or balance that has any effect yet, where the fuck are they? Was it always a lie?

I'd bet real money that those """games""" were all slop coded.

They completely missed the point of Tetris.

The score is how much the tax payer has put in to maintain something that will always end with Game Over. Well, unless the builder starts transcending end-game via loopholes, which is likely. At which point the score's rolling K economy harder than ever.

I think a big issue with it is that theres no real way to properly sue a project if the president ok's it. It's a lot of money to go after a case, and then since it's a federal case the president has pardon power on it. An IP violation is almost always federal... which falls under that pardoning ability. It would need to either stay at a state level (which is unlikely given who is involved) or keep it in civil court, which I don't think IP violations of this magnitude would stay contained.

Honestly with how the law currently is, I think the president could publicly execute someone(or order someone else to) for any declared reason, as long as said reason could be remotely tied to it's position of power, and then for the crime they could just pardon it. There's nothing blocking it.

My fucking government is acting like a bunch of teenage trolls. It is unbelievable. I never imagined I'd see a people so devoid of shame, class or morals.

Apparently, it's the one entity that can make Nintendo furious without actually getting destroyed by them or even sued by them necessarily. And this is more offensive than pretty much anything Nintendo's gone after before. Yet they repeatedly crossed that line.

Empire has always entertained itself with trivialities while murdering people abroad. It's a major foundation of "technology" in USA, although not nearly as important as the MIC.

Tetromino's as a design implementation is not trademarked, but the concept and names are. The Tetris Company owns the rights to any use of Tetromono's and Tetris in the gaming sector. Being said, the patents to such concepts have already expired, so unless they were using trademarks naming I think they are fully allowed to use it. I don't know if the Tetris company has any legal standing here.

Wait until your innie grows up into an outtie.

I can't afford groceries but thanks for a racist knockoff of a game that came out decades before I was born, sweet.

Because why bother? It’s perfectly awful all by itself.

The subject matter isn't the parodied thing. It's not making fun of Tetris. It's using Tetris in a pretty unrelated way to its actual purposes.
