Plants Vs. Zombies - Turn Off Auto-Update ASAP

Post by Buzzy Beetle » Tue Jul 27, 2010 8:02 pm

This of course only applies if you a) already have it installed or b) enjoy the sight of the Michael Jackson dancing zombie. It looks like the Estate of Michael Jackson is forcing Popcap to change the game's dancing zombie into something different. Of course, this seems to just be on the iPhone, but I get the feeling it might go in the direction of Steam eventually.

I saw this just as I closed a game of PvZ. Let's hope it doesn't come to that!

Ahaha, the jokes about the Dancing Zombie being more accurate than ever have been building up since his death. This is just hilarious :lol:

Well it looks like they just updated the game with the replacement, Disco Zombie.

However, they also added a few new achievements.
"So what have you been up to, man? Haven't seen you in so long!"
"Ah, you know how it is. Doin' a lot of side projects, some consulting, maybe a little freelance... Those are words that people say when they haven't actually been doing anything, right?"

Upon loading mine, I have the new achievements, but Michael Jackson still dances.

They took it upon themselves to force update you even if you had auto updates off. . .

Aha, there's the update. As an aside, did the almanac entry always say "Any similarities to persons living or dead is coincidental" for the Dancing Zombie? :lol:
