Wikipedia says that EA eventually ended up with the Blue Planet Software. @Dan: Oh, I had forgotten about the Pajitnov's Tetris Company and Blue Planet Software.

(In Soviet Russia... Tetris is a state property.)

He tried to form his own firm to control the marketing and sale of his game and it failed. I don't even know if the EA version is technically licensing it from him. @nattylux: Tetris has been pirated so many times since its invention, and the guy who invented it doesn't get a dime.

The curve should be a lot lower than it is. My biggest complaint about it is that it starts too fast and ramps up too fast. The curve should be a lot lower than it is.

I'm sure that someone owns the IP for Tetris and this may get pulled off soon, like the LightSaber did. This sure sounds like piracy to me.

Notice, that we europeans don't have any other choice, since the EA Tetris hasn't been announced by us... Pity! Nice game, especially, that it's free.
