With Zenimax Online opting for both microtransactions and a monthly subscription, Sean Knight wonders if it will be too much for the MMO crowd.
Zenimax Online Studios, the developer behind The Elder Scrolls Online, is currently working on a brand new engine for a multiplatform title.
"It’s really special to be at the ten year anniversary."
Wccftech checked out the new Scribing system coming to Elder Scrolls Online with Gold Road and interviewed Creative Director Rich Lambert.
"Is The Elder Scrolls Online set up to fail?"
On consoles, I believe so. I just don't think console gamers will ever embrace subscription based MMO's. Especially when we're already paying a yearly fee for a network service. 15.00 a month (180.00 a year) is way too steep for one game!
Do we even need to say yes? Only when it becomes F2P or with only an online subscription of PS+ or XBLG is when we will see it take off.
Guild wars 2 is the best model and now the norm unless others follow they will fail.
They will get some cash and eventually go free to play.
Lol I remember when freemium games started releasing, everyone scolded them. Now people with take that nonsense over skipping one lunch a month. N4G MMO players are a JOKE.
