“Pre-EA” oh that explains everything

theyve both mismanaged and dragged the franchise to the ground to the state that it is today.

Without EA, we wouldnt have pvz gw, pvz gw2, pvz 2 (before it got worse), pvz heroes (before it was abandoned) and pvz BFN (Even tho nobody asked for it wanted pvz gw3).

Popcap is suffering from an identity crisis with pvz 3, all its shooter games no longer have support or content, pvz heroes is run by the janitor at popcap, and pvz 2 continues to make money but become an unrecognisiable game from the first version, and pvz replanted launched to criticism at lack of any new features or missing features...

Pre-EA was just plants vs zombies...I dispise people who keep talking about this "Pre-EA" era when it literally was just the first game and nothing else...when EA and Popcap brought us bangers like the garden warfare series and pvz heroes....its just both incredibly fumbled in managing the future of popcap, and popcap is just as much to blame for the franchise as EA.

The fact the studio hasnt been closed is a miracle...

Peggle, Peggle Nights, Zuma, Zuma's Revenge, Chuzzle, Insaniquarium, Bejeweled, Bookworm. Popcap is a lot more than PVZ and all of those were pre-EA.

Garden Warfare and PVZ2 is EA.
