Steal? No. They're trying to keep up support, like patches, for a game that's not subscription based. And I'm ok with that. We've gotten a patch almost every week since release for a game that survives on its DLC and that's incredible in my eyes. There are 3 ways to pay employees to keep the game going and doing updates as frequently as they have been. -DLC -Subscription -Microtransactions Personally I prefer DLC based.
