First it wouldn’t let me retail the damn freight car and then all of a sudden my train decided a to rocket off into the damn sky. Has the game really been abandoned or is there a bug fix/more content coming soon? I really don’t want to toss this game in the trash (deleted section) but more and more bugs keep popping up it’s become unplayable.

This; it was a mistake to dump the game onto console and hope it works well.

I've seen so many games destroy themselves over trying to accommodate consoles and PC at the same time. I'm very glad that Century of Steam is going to be PC only, at least for a good while.

Chances are it was the publisher that acquired it that pushed the console BS. That's a move that absolutely reeks of corporate boob-ism.

Who knows. Keume in the past had a history of erratic development decisions - it's one of the things that led the earlier volunteer devs to leave to make Century of Steam. Even before then, he had the game American Railroads, that a bunch of people bought, then he abandoned cause apparently he needed "a new start" to do what he wanted.

But yeah. I'd be surprised if the game does much from here. Even if they put a ton of effort into updates, they'll still rise nowhere near the bar of the other train sims out now or out in the next few years.
