So you're mad they didn't make it for a platform where they'd make a fraction of the money? It will come to Andriod a year down the road, just like 99% of all other AAA games. This is nothing new and nothing uncommon

It had little to do with which platform was most profitable in the sense you're talking.

Apple offered them a timed exclusivity deal for big bucks. It will definitely be coming to PC and Android somewhere between 6 months and a year from now, they more than likely already have those versions completed and are just sitting on them so they can keep their big check from Apple.

the fact that it's iOS-exclusive makes me say fuck the entire company.



Agreed. I loved playing P vs. Zombies on my Android device and PC and was REALLY angered to hear that PvZ2 was (so far) only for iOS. Now, with the issues with having to "pay" to play a FTP game ... I don't feel as bad. Whenever I D/L a game/app from the market and find that you accrue extra/hidden charges to play ... it gets deleted, immediately. I won't contribute to this way of doing business.

I would prefer to just pay $7-$10 and be done with it but most complaints are overblown. I've haven't spent a nickel and don't even use coins, the game so far just isn't that difficult. There are some old plants I'd like but I'm not pay $3 for a plant.

Yeah, I've played through all three chapters and I haven't spent any real money or coins or used any cheats. I think people just like complaining.
