Tetris Finally Gains a Subscription Fee

The prayers of our wallets have been answered.

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.

Tetris (well a clone of it) was the first game I ever played on some shitty black and white portable game machine that cost $4. I loved Tetris back then.

They only need 4 people to subscribe to this to make their money back. Don't be one of those 4.

This is why I don't want iOS to replace dedicated handhelds and own a 3DS despite the internet laying on the hate pretty thick. Shitty touch controls and fees? NOPE.AVI

@Bruce: Tetris on touch screen is not bad at all. Plays pretty well, well worth $0.99. I just bought it for Marathon mode, will get plenty of gameplay out of that.

As for the sub-fee: EA can choke on it.

I hope 2K Sports makes Brett Favre's All-Pro Football 2K13 and Brett Favre's Tetris.

That's probably the first ever MMOPG - Massively Multiplayer Online Puzzle Game.
