Bring back the 2020 version of PvZ3 as a spin-off title
I'm a big fan of PvZ and have been since 2014. In 2020, the original version of PvZ3 which had a ton of content was both released in a soft-launch format, and pulled on that same year, months later. I (and many others) think this was a big shame, because a LOT of content from this version never got released and may never even see the light in the day in the current version of PvZ3 that was released this year.
Right off the bat, I heavily appreciate PopCap's efforts to improve upon the current version of PvZ3. However, there are a lot of elements and other things that I HEAVILY preferred that were in the 2020 version of PvZ3, and are very likely guaranteed to never come to the current version. This includes stuff like the story, the devour tower, tacobilities, and even the leveling system which was actually decent in 2020 PvZ3 compared to PvZ2's! (This is not me saying I want leveling in current PvZ3, please dont do that.)
So, what's a solution that works for everyone? Re-release the older 2020 version of PvZ3 as a spinoff title! You could call it something like "Plants vs. Zombies: Welcome to Neighborville" or "Plants vs. Zombies: Attack of the Devour Tower"!
I do believe a lot of issues from the 2020 version of PvZ3 do stem from it being branded as a mainline title, similar to some issues with current PvZ3 before Choose Your Seeds was released. I do recognise that this happening is VERY unlikely, but it is a real shame that this game with a ton of content (some of which we never even saw!) never saw the light of day worldwide and so not many people in the fanbase actually got to play it. Maybe add plantable sunflowers to the game if you bring it back though.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this is considered. Also, best wishes to PopCap on improving current PvZ3!
