Pretty sure EA wants to keep the IP. At some point in the future they might want to release another Dragon Age or Mass Effect. The name alone will still generate some attention.
They're about to have a lot of debt that needs paying off. The most likely path forward for them is they sell off anything that doesn't print money and only keep things that do, like the sports franchises and the Sims.

So shutting it down is easier than selling it off? Surely some company would want Bioware even just for the name or the IP?
