Interesting News (BfN Ads, BfN bundle, new PvZ toys)

Story #1 - BfN ads on Gamepass for PC Apparently, BfN was featured in an ad for EA Play at the game awards. That doesn't mean anything, of course, as EA is know to have a desire to maximize profit. ...

    This is such a weird mix of glad they still admit it exists and irritation that more work and time should have been invested in it and they do this. I saw this on the Reddit too and it's still available on Steam as well as Origin. At the least we need those missing upgrades back even if I've come to dislike both swarm characters.

    The community on PC is small as you say but barring some serious issues with bugs (one the other day forced me to shut it down in task manager for example), it runs decently on PC with Dx12 (although my rig is decent which helps). Reading here and on Reddit, it's worse on console with lag as I have zero lag when I play, barring internet issues.

    Speaking of GW1 Boss Mode, it was never all that popular as it was dropped for GW2, but it was nice and relaxing at times when I wanted to play but not mix it up in PvP as much.

    This bit especially piques my interest: '...the popular franchise is looking at granting its fans new adventures with future content releases...' We need a new shooter so much right now. I'm enjoying bouncing between the games but I have everything unlocked in GW1 and 2 and only need to reach max rank in BfN which has become rather tedious to be sure as I'm GM 3 on all characters and they feel like such an empty grind.

I did some googling and came across Tomy's U.S. website - and found their "mocchi" page

https://us.tomy.com/mocchi-mocchi

It looks like they are licensed to sell toys for lots of well known brands/franchises - splatoon, mario, kirby, animal crossing...

I think this is great for PvZ brand exposure to have their own plush toys sitting next to those of other very well known brands/franchises. If it goes well, it's a good revenue stream and perhaps a way to inject more life back into the franchise.

They probably should have done this awhile ago though? If not years ago, a month or so before Christmas? 

I'm curious too which PvZ iteration they will connected...i'd be curious to see what BFN plushies would look like. I don't know why they didn't do something like vinyl toys either. The "glossy" design and look of the characters in BFN makes it seem like an obvious choice.
