Evaluation
Bounty Train left Early Access and officially launched on May 16, 2017. At launch, the developer (Corbie Games) indicated that bug fixes and a planned DLC would follow. That DLC — "New West" — shipped on June 5, 2018, delivering a new campaign, crew members, equipment, a new locomotive, new map locations, and additional resources. This fulfilled the post-launch content commitment the developer had made at release.
The most recent developer communication of any kind — posted on May 27, 2019 — announced the studio's next project, Railroad Corporation, launching into Early Access. Notably, this post offers Bounty Train owners a discount on the new game and describes Corbie Games as "taking our next steps," signaling the team had moved on. There have been no news posts, patches, or announcements for Bounty Train since that date.
Both DLC entries are released and accounted for: the Trainium Edition Upgrade (a premium edition upgrade from Early Access in May 2016) and New West (the promised post-launch expansion). No unreleased DLC exists on the store. With the New West DLC having delivered the promised post-launch content, all developer commitments for Bounty Train appear to have been fulfilled. The studio's pivot to Railroad Corporation, combined with over seven years of silence on Bounty Train, strongly supports the conclusion that development is complete.
Evidence
Corbie Games announced their next game, Railroad Corporation, launching into Early Access. Bounty Train owners received a loyalty discount. This is the last official communication from the developer regarding Bounty Train, and signals the studio had moved on to a new project.
The New West DLC launched, delivering a new campaign with 12-14 hours of play time, new crew members, equipment, a new locomotive, new map locations, and new resources — fulfilling the post-launch DLC commitment made at the 1.0 release.
