Dude Anthem was fully on BioWare. This has been a well known fact for a while now. Ex employees have come forward that EA gave BioWare free reign to do whatever they wanted. The only thing EA forced them to do was keep the flying mechanics as that was going to be removed

Still remember Casey called it Dylan, the 'Bob Dylan of video games'.

Guess Bob died twice.

I don't disagree. But if your corporate overlords come and tell a traditionally single-player studio to go "do whatever you want....as long as it's a live service", a genre they had no experience or discipline expertise in, I think it's pretty obvious how that would play out.

Except it was Bioware's idea.

They didn't do that. It was Bioware who pitched it as a live service to begin with.
