1. Stardew Valley
This gem is pure cozy vibes. If EA touched it, they'd probably add gacha mechanics for better crops or make you pay for a faster watering can. Imagine a 'Seasonal Pass' just to plant different veggies! It could either become an unplayable microtransaction hellscape or, like, if they somehow kept the chill energy and just added *more* farm animals, it might actually slap. But yeah, mostly just picturing farming for NFTs.
2. Minecraft
Okay, so Minecraft is already huge, right? If EA got their hands on it, we'd probably see 'premium' block textures, pay-to-win enchantments, or a monthly subscription just to access different biomes. Imagine needing a 'Nether Pass' to go dimension hopping! But on the flip side, maybe they'd finally fix all those bedrock bugs or add some insane, officially licensed crossovers that actually slap. It's a coin flip, honestly, but my money's on the cringe.
3. The Sims 4
Dude, The Sims is *already* EA's baby, and it's basically a masterclass in DLC. If they went 'full send' on it, we'd probably have to buy individual furniture items or pay a subscription for emotions. Imagine having to pay for your Sim to be happy! On the other hand, maybe they'd finally give us open worlds back or, like, actually make all the packs work together seamlessly without breaking the game. Still, probably just more expensive stuff packs.
4. Hades
This roguelite masterpiece? If EA touched it, we'd be paying for extra death defiances or weapon upgrades with real cash. Imagine having to buy 'Olympus Credits' just to get a better boon from Zeus! It would absolutely gut the core loop. But, like, if they somehow just funded a massive, *insane* expansion with even more gods, biomes, and story that kept the original vibe, that could actually slap. High risk, high reward, mostly risk.
5. Cyberpunk 2077
Okay, so this one already had its own wild ride. If EA stepped in, we'd probably see 'Chromium Coin' packs for better cyberware, or a battle pass just to unlock car customisation. Imagine paying for V's apartment upgrades! But honestly, given where it started, if EA somehow just threw a truckload of cash at CDPR to *fully* fix everything, add more meaningful content, and totally optimize it across all platforms, it could actually become the game everyone hoped for. Big 'if' though.
6. League of Legends
LoL is already a F2P behemoth with microtransactions, so EA going 'full send' would be wild. We'd probably see pay-to-win runes, champions locked behind insane grind walls unless you pay, or even subscriptions for ranked queues. Imagine paying just to play a champ in a specific role! But, like, if they somehow just used their resources to completely revamp the client, stop the constant balance nightmares, and make the community less toxic, it could theoretically slap. Realistically? More skins and passes.
7. Among Us
This social deduction hit is simple perfection. If EA got involved, we'd probably have to pay for different task animations, or maybe even an 'Impostor Pass' to guarantee you're the sus one more often. Imagine needing to buy vent access! It would totally ruin the pure, chaotic fun. But if they somehow just funded a massive, free content drop with tons of new maps, roles, and game modes that didn't break the bank, it *could* slap. Mostly just picturing cosmetic loot boxes, though.
