User blog comment:The Rim of the Sky/The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is now out ― A monthly subscription is no longer required to play the game/@comment-1600847-20150319124253

I wasn't surprised they dropped it, once they announced the console release it was innevitable. They wouldn't get very many console players if they had to pay 15$ a month for a subscription and another 15$ for Xbox Live/PS Plus.

People be fickle that way.
