How would you prefer PvZ2 to be financially? Free-to-Play, with IAPs. (Whether those IAPs are reasonably priced is a different story) Free-to-Play, without IAPs (ALL premiums, even gemiums, would be removed, with the possible exception of the seasonal plants like Ghost Pepper) Pay-to-Play, with no IAPs (all plants, premium or otherwise, will somehow be unlockable for free in-game) Pay-to-Play, with currency IAPs (all plants will be unlockable for free in-game, but may have to be gained with currency, like PvZ1) Would free to play without IAPs be ad supported? Because wanting free-to-play, no IAPs, and no ads would be incredibly arrogant. Hmmm.... Good point, I didn't consider that. Let's assume there would be ads of some kind. We all hate them, but honestly forced ads are kinda better than overpriced IAPs. Key word bolded. I'd rather have a handful of cheap non-game-breaking IAPs(hell, give me 20 non-currency ones for all I care) than forced ads. Just letting that out there. Well, are the IAPs cheap? No, no they are not. $3-$7 for something that should cost $0.50 isn't cheap. I would much rather have no IAPs and have ads. If you were to buy all Premium plants and upgrades the overall cost would exceed $100. I ran the numbers, just Plants cost more than $120 I ran the cost of my account, from how many gems I've used and have in it, and it technically costs $400. I see this as a missed opportunity. Using this system, plants like Sweet Potato cost a bit more than $10. See the missed opportunity? Anyone who bought all the plants most likely wouldn't mind spending more, even twice as much, to be the first to get a piece of content, but anyone else can either pay a smaller amount if they really want it or get it virtually for free by grinding away, probably becoming addicted as a side effect.

Also, Hazel will be $7.99.
