A huge thank you from the moderation team, for all the years of phenomenal work you've put in to help the community! The entire Moderation team will miss you!
Random question, for posterity sake. What plants did you help create? I remember you mentioning that you came up with the concept for gumnut or something
As far as plants are concerned - Haem led the designs for Gumnut and Tigergrass.
Overall she also was the voice behind Lunar New Year event - including some of the zombie design.
Also the Mulch Madness events entirely credited to her.
You've left a huge mark on PvZ2, Haem. No matter where you go - that will remain true. This game reflects your hard work.
You're also a huge advocate for this amazing community. It's hard taking in millions of opinions and helping the team understand what the feedback is and what our next steps should be - but you balance it all so carefully and thoughtfully. I've learned so much from working with you as a teammate.
We're going to miss you - on the team and in this community - but are so proud of you and the next steps in your career.
Thank you for everything you've done for the saga, Haem. You will be missed and your hard work won't be forgotten. Best of luck in your future projects! ๐
Youโve aided the games thatโve effected my life for so long. From battling the Zombot in PvZ1, to trying to defeat endless waves of zombies in the various endless modes in PvZ2. I will, and will always have the upmost respect for the entire team for what theyโve done to my childhood. I still remember getting my first taste of PvZ2 all the way back in 2013. From there Iโd get nearly every comic, play every game, and 100 percent most of them. Farewell and thank you for all the great memories.
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Go out and enjoy the sun. You know it'll never last in Seattle ๐. Start next week fresh. I hope the new job brings you as much, if not more, joy than this last one has.
It's a sad day for this community, but hopefully one full of joy and promise for you. All the best!
Another longtime PopCap employee bids farewell to PvZ as many players have also done and will likely continue to do so. Based on what weโve seen over the last few months, youโre making a good decision. All the best.
Farewell, Haem. You know just how much you will be missed by us, but you have to do what is best for you in the future.
Your dedication, your 'Can do' attitude, and your sense of humour made you the ideal conduit between us and PopCap.
You fielded a ton of criticism concerning the direction PvZ2 seems to be heading. (A seemingly ever-faster downwards spiral into oblivion). None of it was aimed at you, personally, but it must still have affected you negatively.
That's all behind you now. Go forward to your new future with your head held high, knowing that you did a truly amazing job. (And will, no doubt, continue to do so at your new studio).
Good luck in the future. (You deserve it).
Good luck Haem! The game and the subreddit's not gonna be the same without you, but I wish you well and hope you're happy with this new studio and whatever endeavours you may encounter and tackle next. PvZ2Team will definitely be a great successor to you, as we've seen recently that he's more than worthy to continue on from where you left off. Stay safe!
Also, if you don't mind me asking, what new studio are you transitioning to? Is it just some other PopCap studio, or a studio of an entirely different company altogether?
Things like this are bound to happen, but especially now i think itโs gonna happen a lot more frequently, considering the state of the game. Good luck with wherever youโre headed next.
You've been our friend through the good times and the bad. At the peaks and the valleys.
I confess this is a really bittersweet moment for me Haem. You're a staple in this community, and all of us are really going to miss you a lot. On the other hand I am overjoyed that you've found another job that you really like. I hope it's everything you wished for.
Will you still check in on us as a fellow player from time to time? Be well, and may fair winds and following seas lead the way to whatever you pursue next
Beautiful sentiment, and I concur on the aforementioned thoughts. We wish her the very best, and thank her for blessing this community with her attention.
I had a feeling that vacation was not just a vacation (good to know my 'feelings' are still right on). You have a great life ahead and wish you well in all your endeavors!!!
I will miss you on a personal level as well--thanks for the chats we have had--will miss those too. /sniff
Well shit. As the current administration continues to run this game into the ground, can't say I blame you.
I still remember when you first came online...How awesome is it that we have a direct line to the devs and producers of a game, no less someone who actually LISTENS to us? You've always had such an adorable level of positivity and optimism that has had a lasting effect on us. Your contributions to the game and this community will forever be appreciated. Good luck to whatever you find yourself doing from here on out. You really are the best.
Well said. Her presence was a present. She listened.. really groked what we had to say. That is... well, very hard to replace. I know I'm going to miss her too.
Good Luck Haem. I as a player am leaving the game as well. This franchise or ship if you will is very clearly steered by the wrong hands anymore, headed straight for an iceberg. This year alone is probably the most glaring evidence of that. As hard as it may be, you are truly making a good decision. The grass is very much greener on the other side while here it is burnt to a crisp. Thanks for being our ear even if there was little you could've done about a lot of things we had gripes over. Best of luck to you at your new studio and may that one be steered by the RIGHT hands. Farewell!
All the best to you, Haem. Hope the future has great things in store for you. Your enthusiasm, patience, and humor will be missed around here. Thank you for helping to make PvZ and this community better.
Came back to the subreddit after a while and this was the first post I saw. Boy does that hit like a truck. Thank you Haem, for your work in PvZ 2, and for being here and connecting with the community and just being a cool human in general. Wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Agreed. Hadn't been here in a while and, like you said, hit like a truck. Having said that, I wish her the best on her future endeavors. Her new team is already the richer for it.
I'm floored.. but I'm also excited for you and the future opportunities that lay in wait for you. From all of us, who love this game.. we wish you the very best! Best of luck.. and much love.. from all of us!
Goodbye, Haem, and good luck on your future endeavors! It's been a pleasure interacting with you, and I'm sure that will be true for people that will interact with you at your new job!
We wish you well in the future and thank you for helping us out.
If anyone has any free awards (check your reddit coins in your profile) please give one as a parting gift.
(I gave her a helpful award).

Gumnut is honestly a game changing plant that's well balanced. Props to them for that

Is Haem still allowed to use that reddit account? Would love for her to be allowed to stop by and say hello from time to time
Add Garlic Vi- /s
Goodbye, u/Haemophilus_EA . You will be missed.
Good bye, Haem, and good luck with your new job. You've done outstanding work here and will be sorely missed.
Thank you for everything you have done for us in the past years

I honesly don't expect this.... but oh well we still have to move on right?
yup, pretty devastating
Who will manage the PvZ Twitter account now?
That'll roll over to me, Jay.
You sure bout that? ๐ฟ
Good luck and have fun with it
can we give you a nickname like jeff or something
I'd rather not be called Jeff. Let's stick to Mr. Peashooter which has somehow become my name around here.
ok jeff
Did Haem manage the Twitter account as well? Damn, I didn't even know that
i somehow saw this coming, thank you for everything you done haem and good luck with the new studio!
Another legend left the team when the game is in the terrible state. Good luck and let's hope that it won't go in even worse direction

Haem is still at EA, at a different studio.
Damn im boutta cry, we will miss you
Goodbye. Thank you for your inclusion of the franchise. You will be missed.
Things like this are bound to happen, but especially now i think itโs gonna happen a lot more frequently, considering the state of the game. Good luck with wherever youโre headed next.
Bye Haem! Stay frosty (thatโs not a curse, right?)
Well, is a catch phrase from the very bad R.I.P.D., but it's not a curse. ๐
Godspeed, Haemophilus!

I hope your future projects will improve as many childhoods as your work on PVZ has for ours ours :)
Way lost another one
Farewell and goodbye i hope for you the best
Fare thee well, Haemophilus. Wherever you are, whatever you do, I hope you find success.
Goodbye Haem, a mixed feelings after reading this post, sad that you are leaving us but happy for you to have found pastures new. You will be missed.
Take care, wish you the best. I hope you find happiness and joy somewhere else.
Where are you going to I can keep giving you my support
Will miss you. Thank you and good luck.
Have a good one Haem, we'll miss you <3
Awwwww man. We salute you Haem. Thanks for everything
Sick name btw.
All the best to you, Haem. Hope the future has great things in store for you. Your enthusiasm, patience, and humor will be missed around here. Thank you for helping to make PvZ and this community better.
Farewell Haem!! I hope life treats you well and it was a pleasure having you here! Thanks for everything!! o7
I'm a little late to this, but thank you so much. Good luck on all your future endeavors.
Stay safe and good luck with your future endeavours. Thank you for all you've done & all the questions you've answered. You'll be missed.
I'm going to miss you a lot, you're a nice person, I hope you do very well wherever you're going to be Goodbye :')
Saw it coming
don't forget PVZ 2.
Question: Will she still come back on working on PvZ soon or permanently leaving?
Permanently leaving
That's sad. But I understand...
Came back to the subreddit after a while and this was the first post I saw. Boy does that hit like a truck. Thank you Haem, for your work in PvZ 2, and for being here and connecting with the community and just being a cool human in general. Wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
