At least in PvZ 2, you can win free plants or buy them outright. With games made as they are now, they will give you seed packets to unlock plants instead of giving them staright up (like what many games do nowadays in order to slow down progress even further). Well, i hope it's improved?

Also, i would want getting free plants (PvZ2 one), but considering it's Electronic Farts we have to deal with, that will never happen. And so does the one i want, Level Editor (the one where you can upload it but it needs to be legit one) just because i like to build stuff my own in games. Don't push your hopes up. If you've been keeping up with current game news, EA tried to put mobile based "progression that relies on microtransations and loot boxes" in Battlefront 2 and failed miserably when players had an outrage.

See, devs get away with this as players on mobile gaming are casuals. Either they don't care or know anything as to how the game suffers from putting RNG based mechanics in progression (not being abl eto buy items but having to rely on luck to get parts of that item to unlock it fully). Since EA found out no one cares in mobile gaming, they tried to do the same in console gaming and got f*cked right in the a*s. Bungie tried that with Destiny 2 and their player base dwindled down to a halt last month. I highly doubt PvZ 3 will be better in terms of monetisation.
