If just a fraction of a percent of Tetris buyers sign up, EA probably comes out a winner. Tetris for iPad is EAs official version of the brick-dropping puzzle game. Any extra content EA provides to subscribers must have a pretty low overhead. EA didn’t explain why it’s dropping support for the games, simply saying: We have had an amazing journey with you so far but sadly, it is time to say goodbye.

EA is selling a performance enhancer for the latter, figuring some people are hooked enough to throw money at it.Įven if most people know better, I can’t imagine this working out poorly for EA.

So what we have here is a one-two punch: an addictive game, plus the addictive meta-game in which you level up. 687k and then bumming it in endless mode right after I could have easily scored 1 mil I think: ( I'll keep trying. What was your best score with this version of EA Tetris Version 1.6.0 for iPhone. Heres the relevant bit of the release: 'Players will now be able to enjoy three popular EA games, Scrabble (US and Canada only), EA Sudoku and Tetris, on their iPhone and iPod touch. I just downloaded Tetris for the mobile phone and completed marathon and decided to post my high score. The addiction can be argued scientifically. Whats confusing is that on EAs original press release announcing its iPhone launch line-up, only Scrabble was flagged as a US- and Canada-only game. But Tetris is already addictive on its own. These days, a lot of games rely on a level up mechanism to be addictive, stringing players along with progress bars just waiting to be filled. The difference here is that EA is looking for recurring payments, as opposed to one-time content purchases. Pretty much any game that lets you buy more powerful items is propagating the trend, from casual games like Farmville to supposedly hardcore games like Infinity Blade. But EA isn’t the first company to offer this type of perk. I don’t like the idea that you can pay your way to a higher rank, because it’s a slap in the face to people who are genuinely really good at Tetris.

Here’s how it works: For $1, the basic Tetris app includes three game modes and a ranking system that allows people to level up as they play. The latest iteration of the tetromino twirling title is Tetris Blitz. The publisher is relaunching Tetris for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, with an optional subscription for extra features, Gamasutra reports. We hope you have gotten many hours of enjoyment out of this game and we appreciate your ongoing support.No one in their right mind would pay $30 a year for Tetris, right? Right?Įlectronic Arts thinks people will. Kindly note that you will still be able to enjoy the game and use any existing in-game items until April 21, 2020. As of April 21, 2020, EA's Tetris® Blitz app will be retired, and will no longer be available to play.

3 days ago all of EAs Tetris games were delisted from App Stores, while some may have assumed the games would have remained up at least until April 21st.

They make a crap load of money from licensing it to publishers, and having exclusivity just ramps up that price. We have had an amazing journey with you so far but sadly, it is time to say goodbye. The Tetris Company is very protective of their brand, as they should be.

So, as quickly as the official apps from EA have disappeared, it seems that a new one from N3TWORK has sprouted up to take its place. Tetris is a puzzle video game developed by EA Mobile and published by Electronic Arts for iOS, Android, BlackBerry OS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and Windows Phone. With the former, however, we do something interesting – a new Tetris app made by N3TWORK Inc, a studio that's currently working on the officially licensed Tetris Royale.
