Today is the 10th anniversary of Plants vs. Zombies! To celebrate, I did a lengthy interview with the game's creator, George Fan! He has a lot to say about the game's history and success, and he also discusses his plans for his future as a game designer! I have over 1000 PvZ related videos on my channel, but this interview is very special. Thank you George!
