Hello!

As a layman of the history of video games, and searching for a more easygoing topic in light of current events, I’d love to know about the accuracy of the 2023 film “TETRIS,” and the real history behind it.

Was that really the origin of the game?

Did Nintendo really travel to Russia themselves?

Was the rights dispute *that* confusing?

How much of this is Hollywood fiction versus real history?

Thank you in advance!
