@stukapooka I'm going to guess and say yes, BfN did make money. Obviously not enough money, or it'd have lasted longer and gotten more stuff added and fixed, but I'd be surprised if it didn't make at least some profit.
As someone who loved the first 2 Dungeon Keeper games, I'm well aware of how many IPs have fared poorly here. But to my knowledge, none have comics, toys, and are still healthy money makers like PvZ2. PvZ3 was quiet for a long time before the recent re-release, and that was a good thing for the IP for sure.
I'm normally quite the pessimist, that glass is not only half empty, whatever that is in there is likely toxic, but with over 4k hours between all 3 shooters, I'm not giving up on PvZ shooters yet. Most of that is in GW2, as I like lots of PvE content so GW lags behind the other 2, but no other series, barring a couple MMOs, even come close as far as hours played and my investment and engagement is very high.
We've got off topic here a bit, but this is about the only game series I'd actively fight for like this. Normally I'd just move on into my massive Steam library or boot up GZDoom and play some old school FPS goodness, but until I know things are done here, I'm going to keep active and ready for a new PvZ shooter.
@Iron_Guard8I'm with you in hoping for another game but it's hard to when a series you genuinely enjoy ***** up so badly to the point where they may not be able to recover.
Pvz 3 thankfully got delayed but it only got delayed in the first place because fans were so adamant about their disapproval of it. Before that they had actually thought the system they were going for was ok! The early build seemed to also share bfn's problem of reworking a proven system rather than refine it. Even now the marketing for pvz3's return is very weak and popcaps twitter doesn't even acknowledge it.
Even than after pvz3 the main question is what now? Do they milk it for years down the line like pvz 2 or do they try amd bramch out the series again like the did with the shooters and heroes.
