well that would require commissioning artists over the price of $10 dollars, and getting actual game designers

i'm certain at most $20 bucks goes into every update. the last piece of decent art by the artists was the power plants banner and erin did a terrible job of drawng characters he designed off model, but seeing his amazing portfolio, i genuinely think he just didnt care

which is a running theme in all of pvz2's updates

i guess they figured out pulling a newgrounds animator and some deviantartist for 10 dollar commissions would be more efficient than hiring actual character designers and animators.

also reminder, the reason why they're making peas recently is because they're very easy to make, no one has an obsession or theyre trying to oversaturate the game with them. they just give it probably to their lower tier artists, and they basically try to whip up anything using any of popcap's assets.

it's scary the more i describe the design process, the more it sounds like a pvzccer's design process.
