Even the Commodore 64 could run this! And for the excuse of there being too much friends, why the heck? Tetris isn't that much of a social game, why add social capabilities?!?!?

Did anyone watch the followup? Dev reached out because they weren't able to reproduce it for others or on the testing PSN. It's possibly because the player has 2000 friends in his friendslist. Disconnecting from the interwebs fixed it.

Yes, I saw that. Anyway it shows they didn't tested it properly and, worse of all, are having trouble parsing a simple 2000 items list and that's probably affecting the performance. Hell, I've never been able to write a code that couldn't do something as simple even on single core entry level Android phones.

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

It seems that "too big friends list" can cause problems in other games, not as severe as Tetris but it´s an interesting thing to look into.

Can we officially crown them the new EA yet, or did I miss the latter's latest attempt to hold onto the throne of awfulness?

Yes they are the new EA. If anything they are now the worst. Tetris is possibly one of the simiplest game ever created (ok Pong is the simplest) and Ubisoft can't even get that right lol . I enjoyed EA's Tetris on PSN last gen and it ran/played smoothly, 4 player and all.
