On: Never give up: The story of the man behind Tetris.

[ZeroGravitas]

This story is not about "the man behind Tetris" and I am dubious of several of the claims made.

"Henk didn't invent Tetris, but he's the entrepreneur who went into the Soviet Union to win the rights to the game, and he's the man who made it a world-wide phenomenon"

The three statements above are true, dubious and false in that order.

Another false one here: "Tetris was designed and programmed in the Soviet Union by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984."
