This isn't unique to the IIgs.  IBMs, Amiga, Atari, Mac -- they all suffer
from piracy.

One recent issue of Sierra On-Line's newsletter said the company would stop
developing IIgs specific games because they felt the gs was too slow for
their tastes.

Not true.  As lotsa people have pointed out, the IIgs hardware CAN
support some pretty nice graphics, etc., but people haven't figured out
the best way for their programs to take advantage of these features.
Maybe with time...
