I am a beginner developer of video games, Alexey Pajitnov my idol and compatriot! I live in Russia and understand that with such a profession I chose, in Russia at this not work ..........
people are so shocked that he's cool with the government getting paid instead of him. That's how communism works, honeys. It's over, he's getting paid now, things have always and continue to make sense, no one got cheated out of anything.
@nnutcase Notice how when he made the game, he did it because he wanted to. That's how it works in socialism. People do things because they want to do them, not because they'll starve to death if they don't. That's how it goes when you remove profit motive - you have freedom. After the game was developed, you know what happened? The Soviet Union distributed it so that everyone could play for free - not just an upper class minority.
@AkaiShizuku You do make a lot of very good points *but* I really wouldn't say that only the upper class minority now get to play Tetris now that it is trademarked.
God bless this guy :D

It's too bad Kremlin collected most of the royalty money, he barely got paid for a game hundreds of millions purchased.

He seems like a really humble guy just like his game. Simple. Small. But had a huge impact.
