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.
Enjoy your exclusively colored falling blocks?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
