US Gamer - Today, Zenimax Online general manager Matt Firor announced that the Elder Scrolls Online would have a subscription fee. No free-to-play options, just the classic $14.99 a month deal some have been paying for World of Warcraft since 2004. In a talk with GameStar, Firor said that a subscription fee just feels right for Elder Scrolls Online.
During a panel at GDC 2024, Elder Scrolls Online Game Director Matt Firor noted that the MMO has generated a staggering amount of player spending over its decade of operation—almost $2 billion.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
The Elder Scrolls Online has accumulated over 24 million players over the years. The RPG hit the milestone on its 10th anniversary.
not for me. If we have to pay 60$ for the game and then 15 $ month for a subscription than that's outrageous. No game is worth that much. IM TALKING ABOUT YOU FFXIV! I've seen the gameplay and this subscription will surely kill it. You just cant survive in the mmo market with having it behind a paywall, considering that most are free to begin with
RIP
Not a chance Im paying monthly for skyrim online, Im burned out anyways after 500 hrs of skyrim.
Not happening. Unless that's the only game I played.
I would've picked it up, as I did skyrim... But I'm no longer interested. Too bad
