User blog comment:Jimeee/Elder Scrolls Online will be subscription based/@comment-5558140-20130822233956

most people won't be happy with this and i admit im a little surprised but i can't say i didn't see this comming, and fresh content every 4-6 weeks is a pretty good deal, with that kind of update support post-launch, i can really see why they would need to have a subscription. many fans might see this as a stab in the back but others will consider the 15$ or less a month trivial to play such a large installment in their favorite series, myself included.
