Pay To Play Tetris On Your TV In the UK
from the but-why? dept
The Register has an article about how digital TV subscribers in the UK will soon be able to pay to play tetris on their television sets. It's unclear, as the Register correctly points out, exactly what the attraction is. The company says that the "addictive nature" of the game makes it perfect for such a thing. Of course, the addictive nature of the game might also keep people away as they don't want to spend all their money playing Tetris on their TV when they can go play it for free on their computer.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
