I opened up my Origin client today, which is something I haven't done in some time, to see if they had new games out. All I could see were old games, games from other developers, or the fifteenth reiteration of old games, mostly sports.

When was the last game where EA truly innovated? BF1942?

They've arguably "innovated" the microtransaction model. I can't think of anyone else using that model on console games before EA. And its really changed the market. I'd argue that Fallout 76 might have been a decent game if EA hadn't first proved delivering a half-baked shitloaf of a game could make millions.

That game was developed in 2002 by DICE. DICE didn't become part of EA until 2006. So, maybe Mirrors Edge, which was announced in 2007. Still a DICE game.
