Community ManagerCommunity ManagerHey everyone!
Wow, the amount of replies on this thread is crazy! I'm only back to work today and just caught up on everyone's messages. It was so nice to read it all and to learn how you folks discovered the franchise 🥺 So many wholesome posts in here!! 🥺🥺
There is a nice article on the blog if you'd like to see more: https://www.ea.com/games/plants-vs-zombies/plants-vs-zombies-3/news/sweet-16
I'll also reply to my own questions briefly because why not:
What is your first memory of Plants vs Zombies? Plants vs Zombies 1 was pre-installed on my (at the time) new laptop, so it was a totally random encounter. I launched the game out of curiosity once and never looked back.
What is your favourite Plants vs Zombies game? I'm a mobile player, so Plants vs Zombies 2 all the way!
What is your favourite character of the whole franchise? I'll always have a soft spot for Sunflower!
What was your favourite interaction with other players? I honestly suck at shooter games, but I've had really fun times playing Garden Warfare 2 with friends (I would play Cactus and be completely useless, they'd have to carry me)!
Do you own any Plants vs Zombies merch? Those little guys are currently chilling on my desk, and I have Sunflower & Peashooter plushies at home. (Peashooter is currently hidden somehwere in a bag because my dog is obsessed with it)
What is your funniest or best memory? Every Saturday for a while we would join a lobby with our friends on Garden Warfare 2 and play for hours through Skype (RIP). I'll always cherish those moments!
On the behalf of the community, I'm glad we were able to do our part in sharing how PvZ affected our lives!
I read through the blog post as soon as it was released, and it's awesome to see the points of view for people who worked on PvZ during its heyday. Seeing the Make-A-Wish experience brought back into focus was so wholesome. Additionally, the Plants vs Zombies vs Gnomes survey was so cruel! The Gnomes got zero percent of the votes!? There's no way the GW franchise's most interesting characters were treated that way! Hopefully something can be done to bring them back into the light. Hoping for the best for this series moving forward!
