[Mac] PvZ Not Launching After Install

I bought Plants Vs Zombies and when I open up Origin to play it says it's unavailable. It says it is available on Windows but I bought it on Mac. I installed many versions of the origin and mac versions, but it won't work. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

  • @9219bc745f7b185c Unfortunately the game will not run properly on a Mac as it was not designed for it. If a game states it is unavailable on Mac, I am afraid there isn't anything we can do to change this one.

  • @EA_ShepardOh. Okay, thanks for helping. Do you know another way of getting plants vs zombies on my Mac instead of this and Steam? And how do I refound it?

  • I have this problem too, and I wonder why it says its suitable for Mac, when it apparently isn't

    @annemoellerhanse @9219bc745f7b185c Officially, the only way to do that is if the EA app has it as an active download. With the age of the game now and the lack of a team to do this, the game wasn't as much of a Mac download as it was PC. Sadly, if it is not an option, we have no way to make one for it.

  • @9219bc745f7b185c I had this same issue. I hate that the website to purchase the game says that it is compatible with Mac OS but it isn't. I ended up having to request a refund.
  • @EA_Shepard Please let someone know that they need to change the PvZ website because it still states that the game is compatible with Mac when it apparently isn't.

    Adding here that it's a shame that it's advertised as being able to play via Origin for Mac. I just purchased today but it was greyed out as unavailable in the EA app and you have closed down the Origin app. Stop advertising the game as playable for Mac if it is not. I had to ask for a refund and am thoroughly disappointed by the false advertising.
