The Platforms patent describes a marketplace system that lets users assemble video games by purchasing, trading, and remixing components and game objects without requiring a traditional development studio. The framework enables interoperability across genres, allowing elements like a Platformser character, a spaceship, or a collectible item to work together in the same game. Users can search and rate marketplace offerings, then modify rules and object properties through tools designed for novices rather than professional programmers.

A single AI & Machine Learning patent tackles player collusion by analyzing relationships rather than individual accounts. The system assigns a score to each pair of opponents by combining their social connections with how they behave during matches, then uses anomaly detection to flag pairs whose combined profile deviates from normal patterns. This approach treats collusion as a property of the relationship between two players instead of examining each account in isolation.

One Networking patent introduces a chat system that operates independently of any single game while remaining aware of what both participants are doing in real time. The layer reads live game state from two players even when they are on different Platformss or playing different titles, then generates selectable quick messages that correspond to in-game functions. Each message can be automatically translated based on the recipient's language or accessibility settings, moving beyond traditional per-game chat channels to support communication across EA's catalog.
