I had not played this game for a while but have always been drawn more to it than Vers. 2. However, to open the game and be faced with advertising for some other game that I would be forced to click out of to play Plants vs Zombies, again, which I paid for to avoid random advertising, is a no go for me and I have now trashed this game.
This seems to be the popular thing to do nowadays and I am sure plenty of users simply click though and out of those popovers but I am not one of them.
Very disappointed in PopCap for this tactic because it really spoils an otherwise great game.
