My reaction with the current state of the mobile Plants vs. Zombies games...

(this is clearly the port from the good old PC GOTY version, but it doesn't matter for this exact article though...)

Believe or not, those of the popular mobile Plants vs. Zombies tower defense games (such as original free version, it's sequel, and Heroes) are still active since then until today. However, let me tell you about something that isn't right on each of them according to bunch of people who are still suffering by playing any of those mobile vanilla Plants vs. Zombies games, including myself in general. So, how come if each of those mobile Plants vs. Zombies games are still getting updates albeit if all of these games are existed since more than a decade ago? Well, it's time for me to explain them about why.

According to most internet citizens out there who somehow still suffering by playing each of them, both modern day P**pc**p and modern day Electronic F***s are no longer developing each of those games since somewhere in 2022. Instead, they deliberately outsourced them to that one company in India (hint: not Crompton Greaves [never mind, I'm joking...😁]). Which means, they actually butchering any contents on each of them so badly, including by how they literally add even more random video ads and pay-to-win features than before. As of each of those mobile Plants vs. Zombies games themselves, each of them have their own story about how come if each of them look severely weirder than before. So, those features of them are:

A. Plants vs. Zombies 🆓

• It now only has 3 lawn mowers or roof cleaners instead of the usual 5 (or on the Pool/Fog level's cases, only just a single pool cleaner and two lawn mowers, or vice versa). In order to "add" them, you must watch the random video ads in order to make them...... appear. However, according most internet citizens out there, they immediately RUNS OFF the lawn/pool/roof once you've done watching the random video ads themselves... Oh, apart from the lawn mowers (or pool cleaners or roof cleaners), you must watch the random video ads in order to get certain items such as garden rake, Explode-o-nut, and so on.
• Those of the random video ads sometimes appears RIGHT when you're playing on the game itself, especially if the game itself is RUNNING on the background without pausing it.
• In order to temporarily disable ads for certain amount of time (for this game's case, JUST for a week), you must purchase the "remove ads" subscription feature itself to do so.

B. Plants vs. Zombies 2

• Similarly to the original game, and specifically in it's recent update(s), in order to temporarily disable ads for certain amount of time (for this game's case, either a week or a month), you must purchase the "remove ads" subscription feature itself to do so. This trait was applied specifically when you make your own brand new username on the entire game itself after August of this year.
• They keep adding EVEN MORE characters that are WAY more tackier than how both modern day P**pc**p and modern day Electronic F**** used to do so, which majority of them are just premium seed packet plant characters that you definitely couldn't able to unlock them sooner since their debut (especially for post-2022 premium seed packet plant characters [unless if you play Arena or wasting a lot of gems in order to unlock them]). Many of them are basically clones of another plant (or basically just fusions from those of the pre-existing plants, either stronger or weaker than those), or on most cases, they do have really awful designs, and so on. Despite all of those disasters, there are few exceptions that are okay in performance to use though, and so for those that surprisingly have okay designs as well.
• They also keep adding EVEN MORE features that makes this game's content looks and feels massive compared to any of those Plants vs. Zombies shooter games trilogy combined. Most notable features are the Arena tournaments that are getting trickier than ever (depending on which level designs that they deliver to every players, including me [though I can do it by using the "Practice" section for testing them without any risks for being beaten by the actual opponent]), and Penny Pursuit's game modes that are now basically highly repetitive than how it previously should, unlike it's Chinese version. 
• Certain limited time event game modes such as seasonal Thymed Event(s), Plant of the Week (formerly known as Premium Plant Quest which used to be accessed in the Travel Log section), and New Plant Nursery, are now present...... yet as of it's recent update, the regular seasonal Thymed Event itself is now more challenging than how it used to do since their initial release of them. As of the New Plant Nursery ones, it's basically just renamed Plant of the Week ones.

C. Plants vs. Zombies Heroes

Since I no longer play this particular card game since few years ago, I couldn't recognize about which part that they recently butchered in their recent version of the game itself though. However, according to most internet citizens out there, they butchered certain parts of the entire game itself where most of the characters from both sides are either more weaker or more stronger than how they used to be.

With all of those extreme disasters that they recently doing so in each of those mobile Plants vs. Zombies games, how's my reaction about all of those anyway? Well, because I still play one of them right now (which for this case, it's the Plants vs. Zombies 2), I have no words apart from the fact I'm so shocked by how they badly butchered each of them these days. Though these games are somewhat still better compared to any of those trash modern day mobile games that are now popular (including most of those that involves those of the recently viral generic AI character doo-hickeys), but it's still awful thanks to all of those microtransactions in general, especially for most of those that lasts WAY shorter. 

Note: Those of the particular excessive pay-to-win features aren't just for these games, but that also applies to EVERY SINGLE modern day mobile games that are now being developed by that one Indian company that I mentioned earlier.

Oh, and one more thing before I wrap up this entire article. Even though I still keep my original Plants vs. Zombies game on my 💻, but I obviously prefer it over the current version of the mobile version anyway (though as of nowadays, there's also the Replanted version as well, though that one is still a bit flawed [even with those of the new features and recent bug fixes on that one])... Although I also used to play the older versions of the mobile version in my older Android devices that I used to have (except for the HD version, which it simply didn't open at all), those versions were way better compared to the current one as well. So, that's basically it for what I could particularly say over those of the modern day mobile Plants vs. Zombies games that are now in their obnoxious state thanks to all of those disasters... I have no clue if I eventually decide to download some of those fan-games that performs way better than those of the vanilla ones, so.
