The OG GW lacks the monetization the other two have. Should be that simple.
And with the recent development of possible legal challenges hanging like a sword of damocles over online games i would even think that the legal department argued against it.
More players would mean more server capacity and at some point that money from sales will run dry which usually makes the financial departrment grumpy. With the other two there are coins and stars and all to sell for money.
The well recieved Dead Space remake also showed that once projected profits are not met the entire franchise can get axed.
Oiginally i had hopes that the Steam release of BfN and GW2 was there to get attention for an upcoming announcement. But enough time has passed to close that door.
And i don't even know in which condition Popcap is. A lot of talent seemed to have left and i could think that passionate people who had their carreer around PvZ have no say anymore.
But we have been there with the Command & Conquer franchise.
Considering the og dead space was around that back in 2008 I guess they decided it wasn't worth it.
Yet again it probably didnt help with it being released alongside calisto protocol and the re4 remake coming by soon after.
Shame since 2 is imo the best one.
