Yeah it was from Victory game studios, a new studio they had back then and had merged with annother version of Bioware, together they formed "Bioware Victory". They were supposed to be making C&C generals 2, then they tried C&C and two years after starting the project they ended up closing it all down, studios and all. Their reason was this:
Generals,
Thank you for your participation over the last few months in the Command & Conquer closed alpha test. It's been much appreciated, and you've been instrumental in helping define what a new Command & Conquer experience should and shouldn't be.
Part of being in a creative team is the understanding that not all of your choices are going to work out. In this case, we shifted the game away from campaign mode and built an economy-based, multiplayer experience. Your feedback from the alpha trial is clear: We are not making the game you want to play. That is why, after much difficult deliberation, we have decided to cease production of this version of the game. Although we deeply respect the great work done by our talented team, ultimately it's about getting you the game you expect and deserve.
Over the next 10 days we will be refunding any and all money spent in the alpha. If you have a question about your refund, please contact help.ea.com.
We believe that Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with huge potential and a great history, and we are determined to get the best game made as soon as possible. To that end, we have already begun looking at a number of alternatives to get the game back on track. We look forward to sharing more news about the franchise as it develops. Thank you again for your participation and support.

Since then EA hasn't shown any sort of interest in the franchise and hasn't said anything since 2013. We're now nearing the halfway point of 2017 and still nothing. I think they just gave up on the IP altogether, seeing as they have no studio working on it. They also disposed of Maxis, so they likely have no one working on a new Sim City/Sims either.
From the looks of it EA has nothing left to develop specifically for PC anymore.
