Exactly, they're over valuing their game. It looks pretty ok-ish to me. The only reason it was going to be popular is because TES has a pretty big fanbase built in. If it was the exact same game, set in a different universe, no one would have heard about it except for the Kotaku or IGN writer forced to review it. For a one time purchace I would have played it, hell even 5 dollars a month I'd play it. It just doesn't look like the finished product will be worth the purchace price plus the subscription.
