Super Mario 2 wasn’t relying on players making additional purchases for a portion of their revenue, though. They didn’t care if you bought it and quit playing it the same day.
No, not yet; I’m pointing out that Deep Rock Galactic does, and that continued revenue from them is a (probably) not insignificant part of their revenue from the game (based on the fact that they keep adding more). In order for them to be a valuable source of income, players have to stick around.

Are you implying this game has microtransactions or something?
