They are running that license into the ground. If this new ani-loot box bill is passed then EA will lose a significant loss of revenue. Let's be honest, the ground is shrinking around Electronic Art's feet because all of their properties are tanking.

It was crazy when 3dfx went out of business. They were the top of the industry at the time and there weren't really any competitors yet. Then Suddenly it was NVIDIA and ATI to take its place.
buying the intellectual property of 3dfx by NVIDIA was a good idea.

Microsoft could end up buying the IPs and developers from the dead carcass of EA.

Implying that EA won't just shut down all their studios before they die out just to spite everyone.
It's important to remember that in general a major game publisher shutting down is a worst case scenario. Hundreds of developers will be out of work, their IPs will basically be in limbo, many of which would likely never see a new game again. For example, why would anyone buy the rights for Burnout when Need for Speed is also up for grabs.

I think EA would be able to sustain their sports franchises, if they had nothing else. Plus, if they couldn't rely on lootboxes, it's more likely they'll shift their business model to something else for those franchises.
