Evaluation

This product is a complete collection bundling the original Sword of the Stars with all three of its expansions: Born of Blood, A Murder of Crows, and Argos Naval Yard. The store description explicitly describes all included content as a packaged whole. The game originally released in 2006, and all expansions had already shipped before this Complete Collection was listed on Steam on June 4, 2010. There is no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, and no post-launch update activity to suggest ongoing development. This is a finished, bundled product — everything that was ever planned for the original Sword of the Stars series is included.
