I'll keep this as brief as possible, your already paying for the game disc, or ability to download if you get it online, for any new content, it should be added as dlc like any other game and just charge for it. this is as ridiculous as xbox having you pay to play games online. you already paid for the game, now days you have to buy an online pass or season pass just to play certain aspects of a game when back in the day you completed certain tasked and just unlocked new levels or weapons and such. now everyone is more worried about money then giving the consumer what they want, in this case gamers are the consumers and we want to have something to enjoy. paying for it initially then having to pay every month thereafter takes all enjoyment out of it. i could under stand if it was a free game to download and you paid monthly subcription like world of war craft did. its redundant to have to keep paying just to keep playing, its bad enough people have just said whatever and dealt with dlc's when they all are in game content you have to pay for to play, when it is part of a game you have already paid for. think about that bethesda i had high hopes for you as a company after oblivion, skyrim, fallout 3 and new vegas, and this is a major let down, and here to think i was highly excited about this game...i guarantee you will lose customers because of this decision.
