Of course the answer is no. Who cares that the games are made by Chris and Erin Roberts? Forstchen, or Keith wrote novels other than WC, but the CIC doesen't cover those either. SL or FL have as much to do with WC as Freespace (which means they have nothing in common).
Also, not both games. Starlancer is made by Erin Roberts and Warthog, Freelancer is made by Chris. And both lancer games are different than WC in many ways. Especialy FL, arcade space sim.
WC lineage isn't dead. WC was one of the most (if not the most, but that'll probably go to Ultima) profitable game series for OSI, they're not stupid you know. POL is next, wheter you consider it as continuing WC doesen't matter.
