Well logically there is no way they're going to give us 10 years of content for $60. I fully expect paid DLC. What I wonder is how a persistent 10 year game handles new versions and sequels to the game. Can I still play Destiny when Destiny 2 comes out? That will be the interesting part.
Who said anything about 10 years of content?
I'd guess there'll be a new 'game' every year or two.
In the meantime, though...
One of the points they made was how easy it has become to create new content for existing spaces. The tools to build the spaces are light-years beyond the tools that built Halo - and lots and lots of stuff that took effort after creation (like, say, AI pathfinding) is now built in, automatic.
So pushing out new playspaces on a regular basis costs WAAAAY less than it used to.
I don't know what the marketing model is yet - but they were clear that it wasn't subscription-based, and it wasn't microtransactions. I'd guess more information will be forthcoming. :)
