IT House March 6 news, today, Weibo appeared a message about "Tetris", some media claimed that "the International Game Industry Federation called for "Tetris" to be renamed "Ukrainian Square", triggered a discussion among netizens.
IT House's query found that the news did not have any official provenance, and the so-called "International Game Industry Federation" in the screenshot did not exist.
Tetris, on the other hand, is named Tetris in English and Тетрис, which comes from the Greek tetra, meaning 4, and never contains Russian-related expressions.
Alexei Pakytenov, the inventor of Tetris, is indeed from Russia and loves tennis, and each combination of tetris is made up of 4 small blocks, so tetra and tennis were merged into one and changed to Tetris.
