The fact that Plants vs Zombies 2 still receives updates to this day is quite astounding to me honestly. It is great that it is continuing to receive updates, although if I recall correctly, the game has been updated for over about 8 years, which is longer than the update cycle of Garden Warfare 2. I feel that the shooters, especially Garden Warfare 2, should be deserving of updates for years to come, as new players are constantly finding their way to the game. The game basically stopped receiving updates out of the blue, probably because of the release of Battle for Neighborville, and Garden Warfare 2 had some content discontinued. I know for a fact that Community Challenges were cancelled as they could no longer be supported, and I am not sure about the other special Mystery Portal events.
The franchise has had a rough number of years now, and even despite that, me and many others still hang on to the franchise, enjoy it, and wish the future of the franchise well. I would like to see another shooter in the future, or even updates to current shooters. Returning at least some of the discontinued features from Garden Warfare 2 seems like a simple process, however it would have great results (as the community wants a lot of the discontinued modes back). For now, though, I hope that Plants vs Zombies 3 will continue to be worked on, and that it will result in a large success, much like the older Plants vs Zombies games.
Hoping for a good future of the franchise!
@TheSprinter85 I've loved PvZ since I got the original tower defense game on Steam so like you and many others here, I'm still hanging on. GW2 has become my favorite and most played game of all time, edging out even classics like Star Control 2! I got the PvZ Risk board game, the art book, and have played most of the games, and often.
The shooters are my favorite games though, as I love shooters in general, and when I first got the original GW I loled so often while playing it, that I knew I had found a winner. And with me almost 3k hours in GW2, over 300 in GW, and almost 900 in BfN (I have less in GW since there's no bot matches, zombie ops, or story stuff to do), I have a lot of time and money invested into the games and would be happy to invest many more.
So again to EA/PopCap, don't let these shooters languish in their current state, and keep giving us some great PvZ stuff in general. This one of the few IPs that I personally love, and many others also love it, so I'll keep asking for and looking for a new shooter, and you could easily have another hit on your hands to boot!
