Then why not just say something more like "we plan to support and continue to improve on the game after release."

Saying it'll follow a "live-service model" does nothing for anyone these days.

Gotta remember, publishers are basically car salesmen. They didn't build the car, they skim over the spec sheets and learn which trims give them the best cut of the profit. They'll say whatever bullshit they want to make a sale - and in a financial report, their target isn't gamers, it's investors.

I don't know man. It was in a financial report, and that is the correct usage of the term but it's come to be associated with some less good things. It's not like he was putting that in a press release talking about the game.
