"TETRIS SAVED MY LIFE"

Facebook is removing Tetris Battle from Facebook on May 31st



By showing the amount of users who love and play Tetris, We hope that our support will show that Tetris Battle on Facebook is worth keeping - Benefits include Positively impacting those that play, Entertainment for the social community within the platform ,and monetization standpoint for Facebook.



Tetris Saved My Life BECAUSE...

Tetris Battle is part of my daily life, with a good cup of coffee and a couple matches in the morning is perfect to start my day. Studies show that playing Tetris positivity impacts the brain, both in reflexes and decision making. It keeps your cognitive functions working and slows the brain down from aging!



Out of the many studies done on this topic, playing Tetris is beneficial to the brain-



*It makes the cerebral cortex thicker.

*Increases gray matter.

*Increases brain efficiency.



So Why should we keep Tetris Battle?

Tetris is a part of my daily life as among many others. To take it off Facebook would mean a void left filled, and we would hate to fill that void on another platform other than Facebook. Why kill a good thing? So please consider keeping Tetris Battle and how it not only benefits we the people, but the potential is has for Facebook to monetize within the game.

True there are other Tetris games out there , but with the market cap and revenue Facebook has, it's not like they aren't able to maintain the servers for Facebook Tetris ! If there's enough users showing Tetris that they can monetize through the ads they have they are still making money not even mentioning they can beef up there transaction store model as well maybe even subscription for those of us who don't want to deal with ads, I think it's very possible to keep this and I personally wouldn't mind working with the Tetris Battle team on this.





Below are comments :

We would love to hear others vocal in keeping Tetris Battle as we prepare to send this petition to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, and Zynga, and all else who matters.
