yes because they aren't reselling pvz1 for free they made a different version of the game for fun for free without selling it thats legal dumbass
Don't tell me you actually believe posting these words here would actually bring down the game, or 'awaken' someone... Or you just love being the 'awakened' one.
You think you are protecting EA's interest while they don't even know you exist. And in fact EA is pretty much ruining PvZ's ip value in many ways, while its fan community is trying hard to protect it from fading out. Yes, fan-made content fall easily into copyright infringement, but company benefit from it.
