from wikipedia:
However, due to poor sales of its titles, it went bankrupt in May 2003. Hawkins decided to make branding a focus and 6–9-month production timetables for games. Quality suffered as did sales. Hawkins had used cash reserves to bail out the failing company before, but declined to do so a final time. 3DO is now out of business. The defunct company sold most of its intellectual property to the publisher Ubisoft.
it DID go bankrupt

But still strange... If Trip Hawkins founded EA and 3DO, he must be very rich. Since if he is rich, why let 3DO go bankrupt?

EA and 3DO must have a very good relation with each other also, why didn't EA buy over 3DO games and hired those stuff to continue on the project? EA can make a lot of money since its their primary goal of earning money after what they did to Command & Conquer Red Alert 3, C & C 4 and destroyed C&C Universe.

( But C&C 5 is fan made :D , but still need approve from EA http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jfo ... 39097.page )

The wait is over. Today EA announced its new strategy studio, Victory Games, which is working on Command & Conquer. Check out the interview with our man in charge – JVC – to find out more about Victory Games and the future of C&C!
