If I remember correctly, some old top players were against this war effort thing in the old closed beta forums.

They were against old unrealead commanders from OST and SOV too.

IMHO Relic heard these guys too much and cancelled everything (war effort and old beta commanders).

DoW3 was probably a commercial failure. CoH2 is a 5 year old game. They have their sights now on a millions fan base game such as AoE which is probably gonna see some DLC in the form of civilizations expansions and i hope nothing else but that's not the norm nowadays.

I'm fine with DLC when it's mostly cosmetics, shortcuts for people who don't want to play a reasonable amount of time (think about Battlefield, not the grind failure on Battlefront) or properly done expansions. CoH2 was fine with ToW or skins, commanders for multiplayers was bad.

Indie developers don't create AAA games which have a way higher and more ambitious goals. Stardew Valley, Terraria, FTL, Theyarebillions, FEZ, Undertale, Spelunky, Super Meat boy, Cuphead, Don't Starve, This war of mine, etc... I don't see them with high production values. Plenty of VAs working on 4/5 languages, 3d graphics, marketing campaigns, flying them to show their product on plenty of game conventions, etc. Do they need to rent a server for thousands of players or they can just release any update via steam ?
If someone can mention any high production indie do so, cause the ones i can think of had their backs covered by mega corporations such as Sony. No man Sky was a flop, Journey can barely be called an indie. If there's any i'm sure they are mostly a single player experience.

PD: can multi million patreon project such as Star citizen be considered a indie ? Exceptions are not the norm.

Then you might want to avoid any producers and publishers who put the game name and "games as service" phrase into a single sentence.
