Really cool, its always nice to see reverse engineering to revive games!
it's a shame how they ruined pvz2 with all the mtx cheats, nothing feels properly balanced and the sense of progression is completely absent.
They literally built a franchise out of one good game and then let it rot in favor of whale hunting
and they go acquired by EA, i wonder if that had something to do with it...
I had bought PvZ from PopCap in like 2012. Found that I could install the old EXE from it on Linux. Requires registration with their servers, which no longer exist. This comes as a welcomed surprise!
I’d to get this running on iOS. The only version you can find now is they’re shitty version filled with ads and micro transactions.
