I see where you're coming from. Like I said, it's great that people are backing this Petition, but unfortunately it won't do much. I understand the core player base and/or community has a lot of Passion for this game, and the Plants vs Zombies franchise.
Some of the key BFN developers have already moved onto other things, so it's highly unlikely we'll see a comeback for this game.
They barely marketed Battle for Neighborville, a lot of people didn't even know it was a thing, outside the Plants vs Zombies community. There were no announcements and/or Marketing at EA Play either. Plus, even when they gave away a ton of copies for "Stay and Play" when the whole Pandemic started, they still had a tough time keeping those players.
In conclusion, there has been a lot of ups and downs with this game.
Hopefully the next Title (if there is one...) will be a better improvement from BFN.
@iluminatethesky Yeah I know it won't do much, but the last paragraph really makes me wonder why they are actually asking for community feedback. If anything, what will happened based on that feedback?
I actually made a whole thread about it and analyzing the statement in multiple languages: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/About-the-quot-This-announcement-can-change-we-listen-quot-part/m-p/9464935#M26937
While the English one just says "this announcement", all other versions make it clear the entire contents of the announcement are subject to change after fan feedback. Why would they include it if they don't intend on doing anything?
I'm sure that if EA hadn't neglected the game and marked it more it would have been a huge success.
And I agree with you, hopefully a future PvZ shooter, if made, will be more successful (although I don't think BfN is bad).
I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank you for helping people who have technical difficulties with the game. I have seen many posts from you in that forum, so thanks 🙂. I'm very active in the General Discussion board so I haven't really noticed you awesome community activity until recently.
@Fork_x_Spoon I don't want to sound rude, but I think quoting that particular toxic person isn't a good think. He has a tiny fan base compared to the whole PvZ "fandom" and I have seen you say "just continue playing gw2 it is better" in other threads. I don't understand why you would tell people who love a game to quit it because "it's dead" when you play a way older game with fewer players that isn't being updated, not even with minor improvements.
@stukapooka Gw2 also had terrible balancing in the beginning and it only got better when it didn't receive updates. And again, I don't think the guy you are quoting is qualified to make any statements about the situation. He said he hated BfN from the beginning, but kept making videos about it to milk it for his personal profit. And by his logic, gw2 should have been canceled the moment it launched due to its many problems when it was first released ... .
Again, I don't want to sound insulting, but I have to ask you why you keep making such negative posts in every thread, even unrelated ones? The people trying to save the game only give small updates in the petition thread and always say "we know it won't work and we are pessimistic" in order not to get such comments en masse. Many people have expressed what they dislike about the game and that the petition won't work but they don't do it in every thread.
Thank you @benn1nat0r 🙂
Glad I can help in the Tech Forums whenever possible. And, thanks for keeping everyone engaged here in the General Discussion Forums, it's great having you around!
