DLC isn’t about squeezing money from consumers, it’s about “over-delivering”

Completely serious. GTA Online is one of the biggest success stories of the this generation due to the fact that they keep releasing free updates that bring people back into the game.

My comment was somewhat sarcastic going along with the PR speak, but he's not lying with his statement.

So you'd argue the following is about "over-delivering" and not squeezing money from loyal customers?

 

I don't think some free guns in Mafia III and some free clothes in GTA Online erase all the nickel-and-diming 2K does on a regular basis.

Preorder bonuses are not an example of nickle and diming.

Evolve is dead and buried and largely apologized for.

I don't think Borderlands is good example of poor value as the additional content that Gearbox has been as been great.

As far as Wrestling, I didn't know they still made those games.

Even then, the stuff that gets monetized is largely fluff that doesn't affect the game experience at all. T2 and Ubisoft have done very well in the past year or so about driving up and maintaining engagement and MAU.
