He made one btw.

You may not have heard of it because it was such complete shit that it casts doubt on how much EA played a role in destroying the series.

From my understanding both Garriott and EA are responsible. Garriott admitted that EA didn't force them to rush 8 out with all the horrible bugs in it. EA was in part responsible for messing up 9 because they took developers off it to work on the highly successful Ultima Online which put 9 in development hell.

That said, I'm don't think Garriott has it in him anymore to direct a good game. Ever since he literally went into space, all his attempts at video games seem to have been half assed. I think he abandoned Shroud of the Avatar pretty quickly and tried to save face by saying the game was now in the hands of the fans. Apparently his last idea for a game involved fucking NFTs and it quickly became vaporware.
