How Micro-Transactions Destroyed Plants vs. Zombies



Plants Vs Zombies 1 was considered the perfect game. However, after PopCap was bought by EA in 2011, players became frustrated with Plants Vs Zombies’ steady increase in microtransactions, which eventually contributed to the game’s slow downfall. What happened to Plants vs. Zombies?

This is, How Micro-Transactions Destroyed Plants vs. Zombies

Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2

Also, the idea for this video was inspired by “Milk Man Steve” who posted a video on a similar topic in November 2020 titled “The Downfall of Plants vs. Zombies” You can watch his version here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea3aGSXyhPo

    Commercials were ok even at that time but the microtransactions are (luckily) sometimes the breaking point for games – well deserved EA

    I think the whole problem here is that people were living in a bubble all this years. They accepted PvZ 2 as a good game, when it was just a standart mobile money grab.

    Also talking about Garden Warfare as a success is a huge overshoot. On steam it peaked at a bit lower, than 10k players. And its a game from 2022. Original game peaked at 16k players in the same time.

    So after a very avrg shooter game and pay2win 2nd game , people really expect something good?

    They are just mliking success of the first game and people give it following, so they milk it even further. Any sane person would give up on franchise after a PvZ 2

    I actually really enjoyed PVZ2 and never spent a dime on that game, although some levels were stupid annoying and clearly designed to get you to spend money on coins and superpowers. Never played PVZ3 and never plan to.

    I played the first PVZ on the Nintendo DS so I fortunately avoided the new freemiun model it implemented on mobile.

    Plants vs Zombies 2 was so damn good until they added leveling up the plants. That completely ruined it as it hiked up the microtransactions to a whole new level. Still, it's nice to remember all the countless hours I've spent playing the game during class in high school, progressing through so many levels and different worlds was so much fun. Glad they've at least finished the game content-wise prior to adding leveling to the plants, it really ruined the game for me.

    It's so fuckin' weird because, even though PvZ2 wasn't nearly as good, it was still a really solid game minus the ads. It still FELT like PvZ, and the series was still on a pretty steady road with the Garden Warfare series proving that the games can work immaculately in a TF2-like fashion. Heroes? Yeah, still a pretty good game. And then Battle for Neighborville came and fucked everything over, literally ruining what made Garden Warfare so good in the first place, and straight up dunked the series into a really deep hole. And it's really sad, because they were on such a good track record for the entirety of the 2010s.

    I could be wrong, but I heard someone on PvZ team was fired because they didn’t like the idea of Micro-Transactions.

    I think at this point either a family emergency has happened in Sunny's personal life or his next video is delayed due to him needing more time to edit and get all the information it's probably going to be on The Playstation Network Hack of 2011 or the Death of Flappy Bird
