  You’ll still need to buy the games to get the assets legally. EA is just checking if they can offload the modernization of old games they don’t want to remake to the community to keep the revenue stream going without having to invest on it.

  It’s a win-win situation if it works.

    I dont think that is the motivation, they already have modernised versions of these games available on steam.

        Modernised as in made to work on modern systems, not a change to the game.
