User blog comment:Jimeee/Elder Scrolls Online will be subscription based/@comment-67.80.158.174-20130909144113

The thing I don't like about subscription based MMOs is the fact that its a commitment. I'd rather just pay $60 and pay for DLC when it comes out. This way if I start playing something else/ don't have much time to play, I can always come back to it later rather than worry about wasting money.
