That requires profit to be the primary motivation. The Saudis and their sycophants like Kushner didn't buy it for profit they bought it for culture war reasons. The second they took over it was certain anything queer or rebellious would get the bone saw. So of course they'd prefer to shut it down, why let something they disagree with live when they can kill it?
They didn't take the debt. EA did. Because apparently you can buy companies with debt said companies are taking for whatever reason (it's late stage capitalism)

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