Oh, is EA the reason Popcap vanished? Honestly, if they were still around, they’d probably make some killer mobile games (if they actually sold them as complete games and not the microtransaction hell that most mobile games fall into).

Not sure what would have happened, obviously, but their games were always pretty thorough and deceptively in-depth. Unfortunately we saw what happened to Plants VS Zombies under EA :/
