First that radish.

Then the Jack Clone

And now a singing sunflower?!

In my opinion, China has gone way too far. First, it's exclusive plants and other stuff. Now, it's this thing! Do Chinese gamers actually need this? Is having exclusive stuff just for one country a necessity?

Seriously, when I first heard of the chinese version I thought it was just the international version translated into chinese with just one exclusive world (and a few plants and zombies to go along with it).

 Not sure you read my reply to your original message above, but I'm a bit curious now - What's the issue with having content that's different from the international version? Why should a different version of the game be an exact copy of the other, except translated content?

To answer your question "Do Chinese gamers actually need this? Is having exclusive stuff just for one country a necessity?". In my opinion, not a necessity, but then why not? It still adds content to  the game (whether you use/like it or not) and anyone willing to use the additional plants/levels/content may do so at their discretion. I don't see a problem with that as long as someone is using that content and having fun with it.

I apologize for any misunderstanding, but I'm not sure why having additional content bothers you so much.

I did read your reply, I'm okay with them having exclusive stuff, but often, I think that they've added way too much exclusive content, including not one, but 'two' chinese versions of the original game. That, together with PVZ Online, All Stars and the chinese version itself, makes 5 exclusive games, compared to the international, which has 2 (not counting Garden Warfare, its upcoming sequel, the now-defunct Adventures and that 'educational' version of PVZ 2). I understand that Popcap has a branch in China, but do they make chinese versions of other Popcap games like Bejeweled, Peggle or Insaniquarium? Do other game studios make country-exclusive versions of their games with outrageous amounts of exclusive content? Did China even make the original Plants Vs. Zombies?

Again, as always, no offense was intended.
