There are other reasons. For example, my money complaint is not that I can't afford it. The console players may be used to paying ridiculously huge amounts of money for games severely lacking in content, but the PC players aren't. Skyrim (regular) was $60 USD on release. This gave the player unlimited access to all of the game's content, as well as access to the game's fantastic modding community, which provides an essentially INFINITE amount of content that is potentially more enjoyable than what the company itself produces. And don't give me the "MMOs are different" speech. Games like GW2 and Neverwinter have taught us that that's not true.

Side note: there are a few online mods for Skyrim in progress, so it's not like TESO is offering anything completely unprecedented, as some people seem to think.
