Doesn't this article essentially confirm perpetual DLC?

If you're just selling a game, then you know exactly where all the money is coming from - the $60 price tag. I believe Activision said Destiny will not have microtransactions. So what's left?

Perpetual DLC. Either that or Bungie Pro is going to be their monetization model. Hah!

Bungie's deal with Activision can be summed up in the words of Lando Calrisian:

"This deal gets worse all the time."

I don't think it confirms perpetual DLC as much as what we already knew from the early documents, which is there will be multiple DLC items between titles. Publishers do usually have someone in charge of trying to decide when releasing DLC will be most profitable, for example, which fits into the idea of "monetization modeling." There might be more DLC than that, but all we have is that phrase, which in my opinion doesn't tell us anything new.
