Evaluation
Ground Control Anthology is a classic RTS compilation released on Steam on July 8, 2015, published by Rebellion. It bundles the original Ground Control game together with its Dark Conspiracy expansion — both titles that originally launched in the early 2000s. The store description explicitly lists everything included (the base game and one expansion) and frames this as a complete, self-contained package of legacy content. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmaps, no developer posts announcing future updates, and no post-launch content cadence of any kind. The online multiplayer servers have even been shut down, with only LAN play remaining — a strong indicator that no further live support is intended. Massive Entertainment, the original developer, has long since moved on to other projects. This anthology was published as a finished archival release with no further content planned.
Evidence
Store description explicitly lists all included content — the original Ground Control and the Dark Conspiracy expansion — presenting the anthology as a complete, fixed package with no mention of additional content.
Online multiplayer servers are confirmed shut down, with only LAN play still available — indicating no ongoing live service or support infrastructure.

A classic blend of action and real-time strategy
The year is 2419 and mankind is on the brink. War has devastated Earth, and mega-corporations take to the stars to fight over colonised planets. Your employer, the Crayven Corporation, chose you to command an army of ground and air forces on the distant world of Krig-7-B. You thought it would be just another brush-fire war in a longstanding dispute. You were wrong.
