Elder Scrolls Online will cost $60 for purchase + $15 each month? FFFUUUU..!!!

Sadly ESO goes mess up and will effective F2P within 6 month because they can't beat WoW and Final Fantasy XI & XIV:ARR, these are true MMO out there lately.

I was partially interested for the longest time, then I got into the mass test beta, now I'm entirely uninterested. Things weren't what I expected, bluntly said, and I'd rather have another singleplayer game.

As I play games rather seldom (say, whenever I have free time), I don't see me putting enough hours into the game to warrant the $15 fee. I've never played WoW or anything else subscription-based either (though, more tempting back in the day, after school etc.), now it's just $15 for maybe 5 hours I'd play ESO per month... next to other games I still want to play. Money to pay the fee itself isn't the issue - but seeing as it took me half a month to finish the 10 hours or so I put into BioShock Infinite, I'd rather not invest in ESO.

When ESO releases... all here will buy it, that's for sure :)

When you avoid the idea that you don't want it. You will create a stronger desire for the product the next time you see it! :P

Look on the bright side. http://www.vg247.com/2014/01/30/assassins-creed-games-given-away-free-with-elder-scrolls-online-orders/

I've got a 25% off code for it on Green man Gaming if anyone is planning to get the game and wants it a little cheaper... message me.

I just have one link to post...

Thread about the subscription model for ESO about 5 months ago

But yeah...this was old news. :/ Still not happy about it though...gave away my beta key to my friend as soon as I got it because there's no way I'm buying it now. I'm as broke as Infestation: Survivor Stories was during launch from what I've heard about it.

if this were years ago most people would be ok with it but there are many F2P now so dont see it be very successful in the long run

I don't play mmos anymore.

Played on a test weekend and will wait until it's F2P

why P2P?? why not B2P?? like with Guild wars 2, just buy it and you can play forever

it will go to f2p model quickly... not as quickly as DCUO or Tera did, but they will.. 14-18 months...

Currenty I'm in the closed beta. The game sucks, it has nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls, it's not worth any money, and yeah... it sucks hard!

No interest, I laugh at all people who pay a bunch of money for a skyrim multiplayer patch.

No thanks, they can keep there game. For that price, do you get shares by the company?

This is nothing new it was announced ages ago, keep in mind, the main reason they went with a subscription based model is the surveys they did...

So many people are hating of the free-to-play model, that majority of votes said they'd prefer a subscription based model to keep out the kiddies and the newbs. Course now that they're forced to a $15/month subscription they are hating on that...

15$ a month is ok but 60$ for the game itself is way too much, 30$ would be totally fine. guess gonna skip it, at least in the beginning.

That's not greedy. That's what WoW has been since launch.

Added: Since 2004. I think it's a great deal. Where else can you get that much entertainment for just $15 a month? Can't even go to a current movie once a month for much less than that.

It's already the top seller on GMG lel.

I really would like to play this game but I have to work one week to buy a BTA Bundle (no sh*t, a bundle BTA here costs around 100 USD) if I can barely afford a bundle how the hell I will be able to pay 15$ per month. Devs should stop thinking about money and start thinking about people who can not buy theyr games. But breasts yourselves, I smell fucktons of DLCs and microtransactions......

They are simply abusing with prices based on the reputation of the previous games. I loved the previous ones but I will not buy this - it's a joke. They'll probably lose most of their player base in a few weeks/months after the release in my opinion because the P2P MMO system is slowly dying (even WoW started to tremble). Also I think TES is made to be a singleplayer game and it should stay that way (just a personal opinion).

Absolutly not. Even it will 1 time $60 - it is too expensive. And I don't pay $15 monthly (I never pay Eve online or WOW of that reason). Proposition: boycott at that price. They decrease it - or change for 1 time or subscription.

Much disappointment, very sad.

EDIT: skimmed through comments, very long, much lazy

I am willing to pay 60 USD - one time purchase for a game I'm really interested in.

So far the game that has successfully drawn my 60 USD is only Diablo 3. I even paid 40 USD up front for Reaper of Soul.

For me it's a complete bargain - have gained bunch of $$$ from RMAH.

I, however, am not willing to pay monthly subs no matter how attractive the game is. This makes TESO instant pass for me.

Sooner or later they will go f2p, just as SW:ToR.

This game gets boring as fast as GW2. I MEAN IT!, I truly mean it!
I am getting annoyed of games that rely on hype and devs that DO NOT LEARN from other companies. Good thing I didn't fall for the hype this time and haven't pre-ordered the game.
FU Bethesda!

P.S At least NCSoft were clever enough to put their game for a one time payment. This is why GW2 was somewhat "successful"
