No.

Why should they? They now have a system that is supported by its manufacturer,
is not an embarrassment to its board of directors and has superior speed,
graphics and sound to most other game machines on the market. There is no
reason to support the GS any more now than before.

If anything fewer GS titles will be ported, most of the 65816 people will have
to be moved to the Nintendo to get the games out the door. 

On a side note..... very few games work well with a hard drive on the GS. They
either have a copy protection scheme seen on no other system, or if they are
hard drive installable, do not quit to the Finder. Electronic Arts is
particularly bad, they have manual protection on their Mac and IBM games, but
disk protection on their GS and II games. DAMN ANNOYING!!! And unfair.

Bitter? Nah, just drunk.   :)
