This is one of those cases where we overreact and later we get told that of course the first month is free..

The Elder Scrolls games should always be offline.

15??hahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaahahahaha

No. It's just like most other MMOs that have subscription fees.

You can't spell ignorant without IGN.

I don't mind a subscription fee and honestly I prefer that to a cash shop (which usually turns into a pay to win affair), but the problem I have is that usually the subscription fees are WAY beyond what is necessary for the company to make a profit. I remember reading that currently Activision Blizzard could run WoW for a year on the profits they make from it in a month.

I still haven't seen any official release about the cost of the subscription fee.

I might have just missed it, but it seems that everyone is just repeating what someone posted on their blog.

If there is any link please provide, so that I can shut up about this.

I don't like Bethesda's greediness. It's not going to do their wallet or reputation any good.

I just don't understand the draw of MMO games, having never played them. To me, the combat/ graphics look lackluster and at the expense of having more user players and a bigger world.

By having more players, maybe there is dynamicism in community-driven content.

My friend played only WOW for years. Did really nothing else. Is it a testament of a great game that keeps on giving? Personally, I like closure. Closure that allows me to move on.

I guess I am the only one who thought this was great news. I'd rather pay a sub and get all the content, and have the devs focus on adding more gameplay and endgame, rather than cosmetic items and expensive mounts. A sub based game forces the devs to listen to the community and to keep expanding the game.

Not buying it...go on all you idiots pay through the nose, which is EXACTLY why other developers make you pay! Enough of this bull shit!

I wish Bethesda stop with this nonsense, and release some info on Fallout 4, or TES6 for that matter.

I won't be getting it. I'll just wait for The Elder Scrolls VI. With MMO's all going f2p now days, I see this going the same route in a year or two after it's release.

it doesn't even need consoles to succeed at all, they were never developing it with consoles in mind, it just happened that finally, after 8 long years, the overlords at ms and sony decided to drop new consoles and the devs said screw it, lets throw it on there too, sure it will look and run like crap compared to the pc version, just like skyrim, but who cares, we'll make extra $$$

here's pc skyrim; (with a few mods)

just like skyrim, but kinda the opposite, lol, see skyrim was made for pc and next gen consoles, but, when it was almost done and no next gen consoles, they said screw it, lets throw it on ps3 and 360, look how that turned out, skyrim is almost unplayable on 360 and IS unplayable on ps3

again, ESO does not need the ps4 or xbox1 at all, its just that ms and sony are begging them to put it on there, so why not

this game will be a HUGE success on pc and the consoles are inconsequential

Yes. Absolutely.

On a related note, I really wonder how Destiny (by Bungie / Activision) would play out, since they have boasted "10 year evolution" plan. I bet they'd be tempted to go pay-per-month. How else they are gonna keep the costs of "always Konnected power of Kloud"?

If Destiny goes pay per month, it is dead to me.
