Honestly, I don't know if it will (or even should) go F2P. If enough people subscribe to keep the game afloat, let them have their fun. They'll be getting their money's worth, and Zenimax will ensure that. If we don't want to pay a subscription, we can just not buy it and instead wait for Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI.
