Thought this was interesting. A little gaming history intermixed with a bunch of other things.

High in the hills of Hawaii’s Big Island, Henk Rogers—best known for bringing Tetris to the world—is taking on a new kind of challenge: building a fully off-grid life. On his 32-acre Pu‛uwa‛awa‛a Ranch, he’s growing his own food, producing his own energy, and working to protect Hawaii’s future.

*Distributor of the game tetris outside of the soviet union. - had nothing to do with the making of tetris

You're not wrong, but it's also true that Alexej, the developer, didn't have much to do with the distribution.

edit: okay I just realized I need to add "at the beginning". He didn't have to do much with distribution at the beginning. The game distributed itself until Henk came along and they worked together on the distribution.
