"Teenage Prodigy Conquers the 'Unbeatable' NES Tetris, Faces Backlash for Indoor Triumph"
TL;DR Summary
Sky News presenter Jayne Secker has faced backlash for her comments to 13-year-old Tetris champion Willis Gibson, suggesting he should "go outside" and that "beating Tetris is not a life goal." Gibson recently made history by reaching the 'kill screen' of the original Tetris game, a feat previously thought to be achievable only by AI. The gaming community and industry professionals criticized Secker's remarks as outdated and belittling, contrasting the reaction Gibson's achievement would receive if it were in a field like chess. Gibson's mother has expressed support for her son's gaming pursuits.
