        As far as i understand this deal. No property will be sold. EA will be on the hook for the 20b just like ToysRus. EA is getting nuked and a new name and face but the ip is not going anywhere.

      The team behind the only good Mass Effect game was disbanded almost immediately after its release. I had no hope for the new one.
