Tetris Finally Gains a Subscription Fee

NO NOT YOU TOO TETRIS, DON'T GO DOWN THAT PATH

Oh man if they only added a T-Club BF3 tag as well

Tetris Battle to facebook is free.. Probly better.

It will go free to play in 6 months and I'll feel ridiculous for buying that lifetime subscription

Female members of the T-club are commonly called T-girls.

Ba-dum-tish.

No Origin, no sale!!!

Uhhhh what....uhhhh....what

...the fuck??

In 2006, it started with horse armor. Now: Look at how far we've come!
 
 

YES!!!!!!!!!

This seems like... the worst idea.

Dear EA:

Yes! I was so sick of not throwing money at Tetris! Tetrimino armor, here I come!

Horse. Beaten.

This article gave me the urge to play Tetris. So I took five seconds to google tetris.

Yo, that game's still good.

I bet it posts stuff to facebook too, so anybody on your feed will know that you not only paid for Tetris but also enjoy paying for it monthly.

I'm a Tetris fanatic. That being said, WHY WOULD ANYONE PLAY TETRIS ON A TOUCH SCREEN?

uhhhhhh...... disgusting....

Seems like something that would be better suited to micro-transactions. You know: pay one dollar, get a line block.

"T-Club" sounds like a porn site. Yep.

Fortunately it's an optional thing. If it was a subscription fee just to play Tetris that would be batshit crazy.

It's still pretty janky though.

I own Tetris Battle Gaiden and that's enough.

Can i perform a t-spin without a subscription?

It's impressive that they've found a way to introduce a monthly fee for one of the most widely available games in history.

Hey Patrick, you're four months too early.

i just typed tetris into google and played some free tetris til I got my fix

Saw this earlier and the only words that came out of my mouth then and even now is...

"Wow..."

GoTY

Ahh, it has generic MMO mechanics, it'll be free to play in a month....

Typical Electronic Farce.

I love me some Tetris to the extent that it's affected my academic performance at times and while this service is obviously designed for crazy people like me, the notion of having a subscription to most anything Tetris astounds me. Tetris is so ubiquitous that, as other people have pointed out, the only time it's ever really worth paying for at this point is for a console or portable version that does something different exceptionally well, like in the case of Tetris DS or The Grand Master. Things were already iffy enough as it was when they introduced pay-to-play elements into Tetris Friends, but that stuff is nowhere near as egregious as a subscription service where you can level up faster (the basics of which are already in the free version of Tetris Friends) and can have access to discounts. Woo hoo.

I actually laughed out loud when I read this. It's just THAT fucking stupid.

Ive been waiting for this moment...for alllll my lifeeeeeeeeeeeee OH LORRRD

I... uh... wha...

Damn.

Hell yeah

Wow.

I'm glad I still have my Tetris DS copy.

EA is behind this insane bullshit? Noooooo, I can't believe that EA would exploit their players in such a manner. For what else is EA renowned for but their unwavering business ethics and fair pricing?

Who..who would pay for that? EA, what the hell have you turned into?

Why does nobody listen to me?

how about a subscription that gets me tetris on every new device they make it for in the future

I hate to do this, but: EA, you are evil.

I thought EA had swapped their public persona with Activision, but now they're going back to the old ways...

Coming soon to iOS; Pong. For just 99p you can own this simple but addictive classic game. For just an extra £3.99 a month you can join The Pong Privilege Posse, where you can earn XP as you play that will unlock Pong Perks for you to Pong longer and harder.

FINALLY

So are the various tetriminos going to be DLC?

Great!
