What do we know about PvZ:GW (PC)?

So what do we know about PvZ:GW (PC)?

EA released Xbox version on February, 27.

2 months may be enough to wait and I hope we can play this game in April...(~official date in Origin on April 20? / release on Aplril, 27-28?)

What do you think?

Maybe someone knows same things when EA games go first on consoles and after that on PC?

And how big was that time interval between them?

Would like to hear your opinions / guesses..

  • Well they updated the preorder page with some updates icons and increased the digital deluxe bonus coins from 50k to 80k a few days ago, so it's not cancelled, but the lack of actual date is really annoying.

    I'm guessing, based on previous situations, that this game was created on PC and ported to consoles. That said it is highly likely that the game is done and is being retrained due to a timed exclusive contract. Don't misunderstand, nothing against Popcap such contracts are common these days. What's more, any money towards keeping content free in game is fine by me. I further believe this idea based on the fact PS3/PS4 did not get a version. Given the rather negative reaction XboxOne received before launch, securing a great game near launch was probably worth the money to them.

    There is one other thing I can guess about the PC release. Bug/Gliches and issues such as the Wall Nut Hill wars of 2014 will likely not be as big of an issue. Games with continually updated content suffer on consoles, not being biased just stating a fact. Due to the process for fixes and add ons to console games, it takes considerably more time (Mostly due to the console creators) to release patches. Both console Minecraft and Terraria have had similar issues where a simple glitch can render the game partially unplayable for 2 sometimes 4 weeks. (What is worse, in my experience Sony consoles update faster than Microsoft) However, PC versions do not have such restrictions and can be updated at will, making emergency updates rarely take more than 2-3 days.  Mistakes happen, I'm not critisizing the developers for that, coding is actually rather hard. But, the PC will very likely find such mistakes to be less frustrating in terms of time they are present in game.

    That's Amazon's placeholder release date for any title set for release for Spring 2014 without a set release date, like how titles with a release date for 2014 without a set date have a placeholder date for December 31st. Do some research.
