Evaluation
Stern Pinball Arcade launched on December 23, 2016, with all 10 core table DLCs releasing on December 27, 2016. One additional table — Ghostbusters Premium — was released on November 9, 2017, and an Oculus Rift version of the game launched on October 4, 2018. That Oculus release marks the last meaningful developer activity on record. There have been no news posts, patches, announcements, or any other developer communications since October 4, 2018. All 11 DLC items in the store listing are released, with none marked as upcoming. The store description promises "two FREE tables to play every month" and "new features released regularly," but this language has not been acted upon in any observable way since 2018 — the actual update history does not reflect an ongoing rotation. With nearly 8 years of silence since the last developer communication, the game appears to have reached the end of its content development cycle.
Evidence
Ghostbusters Premium table released as DLC — the final table added to the game.
All 11 DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released, with the most recent shipping on November 9, 2017. No unreleased DLC entries exist.
