Re: We deserve better than this.
Back in 2009 PVZ1 was also a children's game, and in 2013 PVZ2. They felt the need to introduce a younger audience to their game series as modern children are bored with the older games and the older audience that grew up with the first 2 won't play them. Throughout the years as games are released and older games have sequels made for them, they progressively become more "baby-fied" to compete with the levels of entertainment other platforms, games, social media, movies, shows, cartoons have. Back then there weren't so many options for games. This is part of the reason that we're drawn to games that came out years ago compared to modern games that don't feel like they have any soul put into them. Nobody makes them for fun anymore.
