"Alexey y Henk: los amigos que revolucionaron Tetris desde la Unión Soviética"

Un hombre creó un videojuego que ha vendido más de 520 millones de copias. El otro luchó por obtener los derechos sobre él durante la era soviética, logró rescatar al diseñador del juego del telón de acero y permitió que media humanidad pudiera soñar con bloques de colores justo cuando el Muro de Berlín estaba colapsando.

Alexey Pajitnov from Moscow and Henk Rogers from Amsterdam are partners in The Tetris Company, which celebrated the game’s 40th anniversary this year. But they are much more than that. They lived together in the Moscow of the late 1980s in a crazy adventure to wrest the Tetris distribution license from the jaws of both the hermetic Soviet bureaucracy and unbridled capitalism (the ill-fated media tycoon Robert Maxwell was distributing Tetris without a fully valid contract via Mirrorsoft) The odyssey inspired the entertaining thriller Tetris (2023, Apple TV+) and forged a complicit friendship.

Henk Rogers. We are friends, although we could not be more different; Alexey likes classical music, I like rock. He likes planning, I like adventure. He is an introvert. I’m an extrovert... But if we are in the same city, a bottle of wine will be on the table.
