User blog comment:Magicnord/What Me and Many Others Think of ESO Subscription Fee/@comment-5558140-20130907051054

they aren't the "rat leaving the ship", they are boarding said ship, since they are going with the subscription model. 9,000 is, well, pretty far away from millions, but yeah, some people are very unhappy with it. in my opinion, those are the people who don't understand the reason for this move, but there's a bit of math behind it, as well as the need for a bussiness to make money. not money as in money to pay for everything, but money as in profit. myself of all people would love a free video game, but a free MMO of this size, with newly developed hardware, graphics, etc.. is just not realistic. we all have our issues to deal with, and some of us are lucky enough not to have any issues to deal with. if you've got problems, kids, mortgage, house, car, whatever, if thats your reasoning i suggest you just drop video games altogether and focus on getting that straight first. i love video games, but my problems in real life will always take precidence over a hobby.
