Donald Trump’s White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

    Interestingly, that game was never sanctioned by the Nazis and leading figures actually disliked it for trivialising their serious goal of … genocide. It was a money grab product by a company that wanted to cash in on the jew hate. At least that is what is written about the game.

        Clearly not in their mass murdering so far but while the Nazis were masters of propaganda that were bathing in blood, some of them at least resented the commercial exploitation of something they considered a crucial and very serious pillar of their ideology. Not sure what to make of that but it is what it is.
