Impostors at Google Play

Plant vs. Zombies 2 was only available for iOS at launch. It is not yet announced when this game would be available on other platforms such as Android. As always, Android Community is trying hard to stay classy.

For some reasons there are numbers of fake Plants vs. Zombies 2 game at Google Play. Fake developers impersonating real companies.

Take a look at the screenshots from Google Play:

Impostors at Google Play 1

“Plants Vs Zombies 2” by Gameloft Ltd.
The last time I checked, Plant vs. Zombies 2 is a game by Popcap, an Electronic Arts company.

This “Gameloft Ltd” company apparently also makes games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition, Hay Day and Injustice Among Us. It is obvious that the three games mentioned are actually made by different companies.

Curiously, there’s another “Plants vs Zombies 2” by Heather Kountz at Google Play. This “Heather Kountz” also makes games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition, Clash of Clans and Injustice Among Us.

Shocking!

Few days later, both “Gameloft Ltd” and Heather Kountz” disappeared from Google Play, conveniently replaced by “Suzanne Lally” and “EA Games Apps”.

Plants vs. Zombies 2

Plants vs Zombies 2

The highly anticipated sequel to Plant vs. Zombies finally released worldwide. Plants vs. Zombies 2 retains the same gameplay mechanics from the original and adds a few more. Unlike its predecessor, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is free to download and offers In-App-Purchases from the get go; this has drawn a lot of criticism from gamers. At a glance, it seems that the game requires players to buy certain plants with real money. In reality, the game offers impatient players a chance to buy the plants instead of earning them.

The initial release of Plants vs. Zombies 2 includes four different themes in “Crazy Dave’s Time-Space Taco Map”.

  • Ancient Egypt
  • Pirate Seas
  • Wild West
  • ??? (Mystery theme that might as well be set in the future or space)
