Apple Apparently Paid EA to Delay Plants vs. Zombies 2 on Android

 

Except in China, Plants vs Zombies 2 has only launched on iOS, and there is a very good reason for it: Apple reportedly paid for it.

This detail was revealed during an internal town hall meeting held earlier today for publisher Electronic Arts.

“Apple gave us a truckload of money to delay the Android version [of Plants vs Zombies 2],” said Frank Gibeau, head of EA Labels.

Giant Bomb confirmed the quote with several sources who watched the presentation today.

So, M$ must have paid the same truckload plus $1 to get it before IOS and Android.

Even if your desir to bash MS is huge; you may want to at least check your facts before to do so...
Plants vs Zombies 2 is not available on any Microsoft platforms... Why would they pay for anything related to it?



Shocking news. I would never have imagined this.
