Tetris Ultimate
May. 21st, 2018 01:52 pmSo I was about to buy Tetris Ultimate on PSN this weekend with part of their sale. I figured why not, there's enough money left over on the prepaid card after I bought Iconoclasts by Joakim Sandberg.
Then I noticed it had DLC.... Tetris.
What does the DLC amount to? 3 new game modes which amount to little more, in my opinion, than tweaks on the basic game to add some extra difficulty. For instance one mode primarily just adds junk blocks to the grid every 10 blocks. Think of it sorta, I guess, to how mode B starts a game off. Just adds a bit of junk similar to that on the grid.
I'm not sure what pissed me off more. The simple nature of the tweaks being sold separately (And really they should change the game to "Tetris Just About Ultimate" if you gotta pay out more for the extras.) or the fact that we're talking about fucking TETRIS having DLC.
They can of course do what they want with their game. But every action has a reaction, and the prevailing mantra of the US and other countries is to "vote with your wallet". (But if you dare to do that, you have a lot of people, PR Bots, etc, come out of the shadows to call you 'entitled', or a 'snowflake', or whatever insult of the day they prefer that they haven't overused in non-appropriate situations.)
So I've voted with my wallet and the creators of another game can thank the creators of Tetris Ultimate for earning them one more sale.
