It should be enough that millions of people by the game for what? 60 bucks? So greedy and unnecessary. Hope Free to play is a possible future and if not, I'll just be waiting for TES VI.

Pay to Play games constantly evolve. Just like when DLC for games comes out and we typically have to pay for it, big online games like WoW and soon to be ES:O will be expanding on a nearly daily basis, and requires a stream of money to make profits and to keep the updates coming so frequently. If you're not into supporting worlds that are alive and adapting around you even when you're not playing, then that is fine. But the concept is extremely sound, and that is why games like WoW have the largest gaming fan-bases out there.
