They should really stay away from the dirty word of Live Service / GaaS in that case!

They should have gone with something like "We plan to support the game for years to come". This model is well respected with games like Terraria and Minecraft that just refuse to stop coming out with free updates despite having no subscription model. Klei has done this with a lot of their games, Don't Starve, Oxygen Not Included come to mind.

Everyone loves seeing new content for a game that they own, even if it's just little things, QoL or a new item or two.

Hell, AoE2 still has support with Definitive getting patches all the time, and it's decades old at this point.
