It also adds Tetris Log, a feature that offers players fresh challenges, tracks their progress clearing lines across multiple devices, and assigns them a Tetris Rank -- all powered by Electronic Arts' digital distribution and DRM platform Origin.

Another notable addition is T-Club, an "elite Tetris fan club" requiring a $2.99 monthly or $29.99 annual fee. Subscribers receive exclusive discounts and content, premium Tetris Log challenges, and a booster for progressing their Tetris Rank faster.

WHAT THE FUCK, EA?

Calm down, it's 1st April! EA MUST DIE!

I think I have at least ten different forms of this game. But if all I really need is my GB cartridge to enjoy Tetris on the go, why the fuck would I want to pay 30 bucks annually (or 3 bucks a month) for the 'privilege' of the latest in Tetris technology. EA has made some fucked-up choices, but don't they know how saturated the market is with this game? It doesn't matter how much they add to it, it's still Tetris.

Did anyone else think this was going to be a thread about Facebook Tetris Battle?

. . . Though I don't think that actually has a subscription system. (just the tetris cash thing -and you don't have to pay to play either, but there's some extras and such and no daily time limit)
