PopCap Games and its assets were bought by EA on July 12, 2011, for $750million. Fifty employees were laid off from PopCap Games' Seattle studio on August 21, 2012, marking a switch of focus to mobile and social gaming. After a statement by Edmund McMillen, creator of "The Binding of Isaac", rumors circulated that Fan was fired by EA because he opposed implementing pay-to-win mechanics in "Plants vs. Zombies 2". Fan confirmed in a 2017 tweet that he had been laid off, and that he opposed the freemium aspects of "Plants vs. Zombies 2", but did not link the two events.
