EA Stoops To Thrilling New Low With Subscriptions For iPhone Tetris

EA has released a brand-new version of Tetris on iPhone, adding a power-up based Galaxy Mode, lifetime rankings, and a special interface designed with touchscreens in mind. If the $.99 introductory asking price seems nice and reasonable, the publisher has a solution: Ladies and gentlemen, EA is proud to introduce the all-new T-Club, a paid service that gives fans exclusive discounts, content, and challenges. And it can be yours for $2.99 a month, or $29.99 for an entire year. For Tetris.

Great job, marketing. This is the greatest innovation in fleecing consumers since someone at Microsoft realized they could crop concept art, call it a Gamerpic, and sell it for a buck. Suddenly this parody doesn't seem so far off.
