They never said anything about free dlc's. They said the micro's would fund the live team. The team that brought us this Halloween deal, and hopefully more one off stuff like Black Spindle and NTtE. Also, there's one huge game that works very similarly to this new Destiny model. World of Warcraft. Paid expansions and in game cosmetics? Yes indeed. It's been around for a pretty decent while, and it has survived on this very model.
