EA Canceled Plants vs. Zombies 3: What Could Have Been (Here's What Happened)
PopCap and EA have been under heavy stress recently when they made the decision to ask "Plants vs. Zombies 3: What Could Have Been" to stop development. I was the Lead Writer on that team, and this video aims to inform everyone what happened from the perspective of someone on the team, and to clear up any questions regarding what happened. This video does not speak for the PvZ3: WCHB team and are just MY personal opinions.

EA’s Anti-Cheat Update Messed Up PvZ: GW2 (Here's Everything You Need To Know)
Переглядів 16 тис.3 місяці тому
On March 7th in 2024, EA gave Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 its first update in over five years. Unfortunately, this update heavily messed up the game, and I go into great detail as to why. If I sound weird or mispronounce anything, it's probably because most of this was done in one take, I'm tired, and I was (and still) in serious pain. Twitter: Hey1mJay Discord: discord.gg/...

The update releases in March, but we got details about it officially released earlier today.

  • @MELTMYEYEZSEEURFUTURE
    @MELTMYEYEZSEEURFUTURE День тому

    The thing is that they probably know PvZ3 is gonna be sunset in the next couple of months due to financial instability, and because of that they’re trying to perform yet another sunken-cost fallacy in order to make back as much money as they possibly can before the game needs to be shut down. Because of this, they want to get rid of anything that could compete with it. I’ll add that this is probably the reason why the PVZ games were randomly dropped on the Epic Games Store, and why BFN and GW2 were dropped on steam. They’re trying to rake in as much money as they possibly can without much effort.

    My strongest suspicion here is that your PvZ3 was shot down because to an outsider's perspective it looks like it is, or is trying to be, an official game. Those kinds of things *always* get shut down and you're not special in that regard, regardless of the visibly high quality present even in the minimally shown assets of the video. It's not because you threaten their fanbase, it's not because you could "do better", it's not because you might be taking their customers' money away from them. The fact is there are PvZ fangames out there that have lived and died at a higher quality than popcap's own works, some of them even sexually explicit in nature which is all the more reason for popcap or EA to want to shut them down but instead they let them be. Even Valve will shut down fan projects if they attempt to toe the line into pretending they are or could be mainline, despite being known for fostering a modding community- the only difference is they'll ask you to change the game name or promotional imagery first rather than just shooting you down straight away (as they did with Black Mesa originally being called Black Mesa: Source, somehow causing confusion despite "fan game", "fan mod" and "not affiliated with Valve" being plastered all over their website at the time.) On the flip side though, continually saying "we're better than them" or "they fear us" is kinda childish, and you don't want to make that the lasting impression of your product. Even if it's true (and it is), please try to have a more professional tone when shit-talking popcap, because there's a lot of godawful products that insist they're the best thing since sliced bread and put all negativity or criticism down to those exact same two lines. You're clearly not one of them, so please try to better distinguish yourself from them in attitude to match how far apart you already are in quality.

      why does valve take down a fan game that is completely better than them when both of their 2 biggest games are being destroyed by hackers and cheaters

    • @AlfieSR
      @AlfieSR 2 дні тому

      @@hadijahabutazil9132 Because if a game is pretending to be one of their own titles, or is being sold despite using stolen assets, they have to do so to protect their own IP. They took down, for example, TF2S2 because the process of porting TF2's assets to Source 2, while minimal, meant all of TF2's assets were repackaged with the game and TF2 could effectively be played as a premium user despite not paying anything. The HL2 Grand Package mod attempted to give a single executable access to HL2 and both episodes but they decided to package those assets into the mod rather than calling the assets via the SDK, and accordingly had to be shut down. Black Mesa: Source was just asked to drop the Source part of their name because of the number of valve titles that used "Source" in the name at the time, but were otherwise unaffected. Valve's multiplayer scene being a hack-ridden mess is a problem, but it's a problem that is completely unrelated to their intellectual property protection, and has nothing to do with them wanting to shut down anyone trying to make an alternative: TF2: Classic has been left unaffected, and remains fully playable which would not be true if Valve were simply being spiteful about it.

  • @zombieranger3410
    @zombieranger3410 5 днів тому

    I imagine it’s because it was based on PvZ3 instead of 1 or 2. There are a dozen PvZ 2 fan games, none of them have been taken down despite all of them being offline, free, no microtransactions, and generally better in every way with their own unique twists. But we are still in the PvZ 3 financial cycle, which means anything that interferes with PvZ3 specifically can be seen as possibly taking customers and revenue away, and making fiscal reports look worse. It would be like someone modding Battlefield 3 (real example) vs modding Battlefield 2042, one is still financially relevant and is still being milked while the other only makes pennies and isn’t worth bothering. In an ideal world you’d have Pop Cap pull a Valve and try to learn from modders, invite them in, hire them possibly, and create a better experience for all while still generating profit. OR you can pull a Nintendo and keep everything under lock and key guarded by rabid lawyers, even the smallest of small projects like Gmod workshop items be hunted down and terminated. They already don’t allow the use of PvZ1 music, next will come fan games, then mods, then youtube content.

    ...No. What the eff, Popcap? Fill your games with greedy micro-transactions and game design that's so poor that a hapless newcomer could very well assume that Plants Vs Zombies didn't start as a video game, and then you have the *audacity* to single out and shut down a non-commercial fan project that could've been what your game should've been? *WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?*

      I remember explaining to my mom that money was holding video games back. At first, she didn't buy it. And to be fair, it wasn't intuitive. After all, poor games don't sell, right? Then I told her to imagine that there's a $20 game, and 1,000,000 people buy it. Then, imagine a free game that's loaded with micro-transactions, and 10 people individually spend $500,000 dollars on it. She immediately understood that you "only need a few of those nuts to turn a profit." She was also creeped out that they're known as "whales," like they had some dystopian designation.

    As a long PvZ Fan , I am heavily disappointed about what PopCap and EA did to WCHB . Honestly , EA and PopCap should just start listening to the community because PvZ 3 is HEAVILY DISAPPOINTING ! And the fact that they do not even listen to the community that KEEPS THE GAME ALIVE ! Like honestly , without the hardwork of the community ( e.g making fangames , animations , pvz mods , etc ) Plants vs Zombies would just die , and here they are , not giving any damn about the community and just being another generic and unoriginal company making PvZ3 a copy . The first time I played PvZ 3 was during its softlaunch , it was the most disappointed I have ever felt . The fact that you had to play it vertically ( thankfully it was changed to horizontally in the latest updates ) , cannot use a custom loadout , having lots of microtransactions , power-ups , and all that crap , and lastly needing wifi to play the game ( the first time I played this I required wifi but I was out of my home ) , it was just disappointing . I hope WCHB will avoid lawsuits against the corrupted companies , best wishes and luck to you , the developers and staff of this fangame ! May you all have great future , thank you for making a mod like this where you show effort and hardwork to allow the community to feel happy and alive from playing PvZ3 , thank you so much !
