Evaluation
Star Control I and II is a re-release package of two classic games from the early 1990s, made available on Steam on October 19, 2017. The store description makes clear this is a preservation release of the original titles "in their original form" — there is no indication of new content, expansions, or ongoing development of any kind. The three developer news posts on record contain no meaningful announcements, content updates, or development communications. This is a finished, classic game bundle that launched complete and has received no post-launch content updates. Someone buying this today gets exactly what was available at launch.
Evidence
Store description explicitly presents the games in their 'original form' as a classic re-release package, with no mention of planned updates, new content, or ongoing development.
Short description frames the product as two classic space adventure games — a static, complete package with no forward-looking content language.

About: Star Control 1
Mankind is about to be wiped off the face of the galactic map. A savage clutch of alien races called the Ur-Quan Hierarchy has become the “evil empire” of the 27th century- ruthlessly invading interstellar neighbors. Humanity is next on their list. Your job is to make sure that they don’t succeed. The entire Alliance of Free Stars battlefleet awaits your orders.About: Star Control 2
Arguably the greatest space adventure on PC, with tons of humor and memorable characters. You start in a nearly empty space-ship, but as the game progresses, you can upgrade it with many modules that affect the vessel's attributes. You can discover new stars, meet new alien races, wage wars, and boldly go where no man has gone before you. A truly exceptional exploration game that that has influenced the entire industry. While playing this gem, it's really fun to observe how many of its gameplay features were copied by modern AAA titles.- The pack includes Star Control 1 and Star Control 2.
- 17th Best Game of all time, according to , and winner of many prestigious gaming awards
- A vast universe to explore, full of bizarre alien races, powerful ancient technologies and mysterious places
- Pulse-pounding action, side-splitting humor, and hair-raising plot twists
