    Tengen Tetris, the real deal.
    Tengen Tetris, the real deal.

    If you’re looking for a new way to pay for Tetris, Electronic Arts has you covered. The publisher just launched another Tetris game for iOS devices, which includes the ability to sign up for the...T-Club.

    Yep, the T-Club.

    The T-Club costs $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year, and gives you access to “exclusive discounts and content, premium Tetris Log challenges, and a booster to progress [your] Tetris Log faster.”

    Yep, you can level up in a Tetris game now, too!

    Maybe I sound like an old crank, but what world have I awoken to?

    This new app is available now for $0.99 on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

    I’m going back to bed.

    $5 says that this subscription will still last longer than The Old Republic's fee does.

    Waiting for the inevitable Subscription Service Manager app that unifies all 106 of your subscription services into one easy-to-manage feed for the reasonable fee of $3.99 per month.

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

    It gives you access to a website where all of your moves are tracked and analyzed, and you get advice on how to better plan for the maximum number of tetrises (tetri?). Except the site will have a godawful amount of traffic and won't work for a couple of weeks and EA will give you a free month.

    Hahahahahahaha. Okay, EA.

    I'll just go play Tetris on my gameboy pocket. No infinite spin, only one upcoming block, the classic soundtrack and eyepopping monochrome graphics. They can't retroactively charge me for that, can they?

    This would make more sense on a version of Tetris The Grandmaster, you know a version that actual pro players play. A casual version for a touch screen devices doesn't need stat tracking.

    Also, whats the incentive to subscribe to this when there is already a Tetris app on iTunes?

    They are just now getting the award? I thought it was when they took down most of their Steam supported games, or when they made Origin when it never needed to exist, and actually hurts the customer by pretty much forcing them to create yet another account for yet another game for absolutely no reason other than to play BF3 on PC, or when they admitted the only reason they started new IPs like Mirrors edge and dead space was because they knew the money wasn't mainly in sequels anymore. Or maybe they get yet another massive fucking retards award, in that case, they've won 12 in a row! Good going EA!

    I thought people paying for the EA sports thing where you get to play a week early and discounts on the DLC were stupid. But if you pay a monthly fee to play Tetris you are an idiot. You can buy an old NES or FC Twin and the original game for around the price of the yearly fee.

    So you're paying money to boost yourself up a Tetris leaderboard on a shitty version of Tetris? Beyond the gross-ness of charging people to subscribe to Tetris, that's just a stupid offer.

    Though I'm looking forward to what these "discounts and offers" and "challenges" are. GET YOURSELF A DEAD SPACE TETRIS THEME! FOR ONE DOLLAR INSTEAD OF TWO!
