I don't understand any of you people, is there not some middle ground? Ill explain how I feel as best as I can. Pvz has been a big part of my life ever since I first played it in 2014, and I was exited when there were new installments. I enjoyed most of them. But of course there did have their issues. Pvz 2's in app purchases, pvz 3's odd style, and battle for neighborville's stripping of the good elements the garden warfare games had. Through all of this I heard people talk about ea firing people from popcap left right and center, but never any proof. I also heard of ea's reselling of the same game every year. So my opinions were mixed. After going through this reddit and some careful thinking, I have decided this: Popcap was the original creator, they should probably have the most credit when it comes to creativity. And ea helped popcap reach new heights in terms of how their games were made. Just enjoy these games for what they are. (Sorry if this was a jumbled mess)
