We all know PopCap. We all know EA. We all know what they need: MONEY!

Already confirmed in the previous comments, though I'm seriously hoping for a last minute change. You're wrong - They don't need money, they have a greed for money. They just want it like dogs want bones, they've stooped so low, if anyone says "You don't have to buy them" well, they made them the best plants in the game and nerfed all the free plants so yes we do if we want some actual firepower.

Also they never last minute changes CS or Grapeshot so I doubt they'll last minute change another virtual plant for $7. the last premium may even be $14 or somethin EA is a company. Companies are made for one purpose: make money.

Yes, they need money to support their company.

I hate premium plants as much as the next guy, but they're not greedy for money. Every company wants money. Yes but every company doesn't just selfishly look at the mirror and totally ignore their consumers, our feedback isn't given two sh*ts about. The only actual people they take any feedback from are famous youtubers who praise the game like it's perfect so they have free advertising campaigns. Every company does want to make money but there is an extent to which it goes to do so.

Now look, if popcap had kept to how they were in far future (1 money premium per world for $3-$4 they would've been getting better profit, increasing the price lowers the profit, haven't they ever learned a thing about economics or business? Now people are mostly hacking the prems in because they're NOT worth it. People have always been hacking the premiums.

Clearly the 7 dollar plants are working, since they keep making them.

The people who buy the 7 dollar plants are most likely the target audience: children. The children have no sense of the worth of a dollar, so they don't see the "$6.99", and only see the cool new plant that they want. They ask their parents, and the parents buy the plant for them. EA knows this, and they will keep increasing the price of plants.
