I don't make games, but I do make animation, and I have been trying to interest UK investors in online dlc - with limited success. The ones I am talking to just don't seem that interested in abandoning their traditional (and ailing) broadcast model. Maybe it's down to my product, but I suspect that it's going to take the likes of PA, and hopefully Grimm, to prove to investers that the model has legs. Obviously games and narrative animation have inherent differences, but I look on your project with interest, hope and admiration.
