User blog comment:SleepingIII/Elder Scrolls Online - ESO Going B2P and Console Updates/@comment-1600847-20150121162101

This confirms what many of us suspected: ESO sold well, but not well enough, since it only lasted a year before going Free to Play.

As you can imagine, the ESO Forums are erupting in rage threads and rage posts, shouting doom and gloom upon the game. I remain hopeful. Free to Play won't kill ESO for me: Pay to Win will, and it shows no signs of that... yet.
