Next version to come with optional $2.99 a month membership model.
EA's annual Thanksgiving preview of upcoming titles included a reference to Tetris Club, which gives players access to premium/exclusive content and discounts on T-Coins for $2.99 per month or $30 a year.
Interesting development, and a sign that the evergreen licence effectively bought by EA for $680 million when it acquired Jamdat in December 2005, still has lots of life left in it.
In 2010, EA revealed that Tetris had notched up 100m mobile downloads to date. It was made available as a freemium Android title this summer.
The interesting question is how EA plans to run its proposed subs club – especially in light of Apple's rejection of another games subscription service offered by Big Fish last week.
EA also confirmed some UI changes to Tetric including a Marathon One-Touch mode that makes gameplay quicker and smoother.
