I'm sorry for all caps. The misunderstanding has been going on for more than a year now, and it has pushed my limit at this point;. While Popcap does these things as well, yes, why the hell would you think that EA has no hand in this? Do you have any idea how publishers have the right to change/ manipulate their products simply because they pay the devs to get their products to the masses or even own the said studio? You are the one misunderstanding here. If you want an example, check out how they changed the entire development process of Battlefront 2. DICE was forced and even layed off tehir lead designer in oder to push their microtransaction baased progression system.

PopCap may also be a culprit but you have zero idea on how the bad EA is. If the game they are publishing does not meet their marketing standards of profit, then they have the right to change or completely shut down the project (which happend the to the single player game developed by Visceral). EA would be just an outsider if they just published the PvZ 2game. But no, they bought and own the PopCap studio, they have the right to and CAN do anything to the games PopCap devs develop and they ARE doing it.
