According to an Electronic Arts spokesman on Compuserve (the game vendors 
forum), they will be phasing out support for the //e, but still plan on 
porting some of their games to the GS.  Speed (or lack thereof) was cited
as one reason for limiting the selection of games ported to the GS.  They do
not plan to cut GS support entirely.  They will not be developing new games
with the GS as the primary machine (with possible a few exceptions).  He 
stated that IBM PC's and their clones are the dominant market, and therefore
that is the primary market they aim for.
