Be happy they're even doing something like this, as i don't believe most would. Your lucky IMO that your not paying 60 dollars for a new game.

Ok so then the 20 dollars is for the upgrade. I'm not complaining will pay the money but you can't see where I'm coming from? I've already purchased the game. Here's the thing. I bought the pc game just so I can play on ps4 later. Once I start playing on pc I will never touch the pc version.
Would you be cool with someone charging you 20 dollars because you bought a new computer and wanted to transfer your characters to it?
Here's what would make this ok in my eyes. We pay for the transfer but can still play on pc as well if we wanted. So once you transfer does it lock out the pc version? If so why?

I don't see where your coming from, because if I want to play a game for the computer, I buy it for the computer. If i want to play a game on the console, I buy it on the console.
I never buy the same game for both systems. It's the same game, why waste money? By your logic you should be able to xfer for free because you paid for the game on PC already. That is your own fault I'm sorry to say, as you were too impatient and couldn't wait for the PS4 release.
Why would anybody charge me 20 dollars to xfer my chars over from one pc to another when all i would have to do is install the game and log on with my account, that logic makes no sense, and you can't ask a question like that with 2 completely different ended systems.
So basically your getting away with having to pay for another 60 dollar game, only by paying 20. And you want to be able to xfer your char to PS4, and still have your char on PC? That's making a copy of your character, not xfering your character.
Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

Its mostly a cash grab... they know you won`t buy it in 6 months after its clear that you have more bots than players and that people are using hacks with no way for them to stop it. So they did this to get anyone who is going to buy the game to buy it now.
They need to wait 1 year for F2P but you can bet that its coming based on the population of my guild + the trading guilds i am in.
People no longer care, then even started using the hacks in PvP in the open to steal Scrolls... they know they will get reported and maybe banned but they also know they are quitting so why not?

When you transfer your character (free of charge), you can opt to pay the full $60 and buy a PS4 copy of Elder Scrolls Online. Or you can pay $20. But you aren't magically turning your PC copy into a PS4 copy.
Your PC copy will still work. It'll still be installed, and you can still play it if you have the want or time.
The logic is sound. You aren't upgrading. You aren't transferring the game. You are keeping one product, and adding another product. And chances are, the products WILL be different on the most basic levels (consoles have no addons, limited in-game chat, probably supported voice chat, etc).
Instead of having to buy a new PS4 game for $60, Zenimax is cutting you a deal and giving you a $40 coupon (both the $60 and the $20 would come with 30 days).
The character transfer is a completely different service altogether.

But that's the thing my pc copy won't work, at least that is what the support person told me when I called asking about this. If it worked I'd be getting a major deal and I'd feel like I was almost robbing ZOS.
You said in your original post that the $20 gives you 30 more days. So what you're questioning is why you have to pay $5 to transfer your toons from the PC version to the console version.
You know what that measly $5 gets you? 6 months early access to the game. You can now transfer your max level, fully geared toons over to the console and tear a new one in all the noobies just starting out.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

I suggest you request for a refund on your PC copy and purchase the PS4 copy.
Assuming your PC copy doesn't work, your account is empty right? You don't need the progression transfer, simply a refund and repurchase. Some sort of account transfer.

Huh? I do need the transfer. I already have a character with a few hundred hours into it.

What do you mean? Ps4 is what I want to play with eso on , it's what I've planned on using for a year. It's just that it's delayed so I'm playing on my crap pc which is fun but nothing like playing on ps4 for me but I'm doing it anyway. All my friends will be on ps4 as well.
Anyway. I'm not Saying what ZOS is doing isn't nice it's just that I went through this same exact thing with ff14 and they did it for free. I give up at this point. If people are ok with someone just picking money out of their pockets, five hundred dollars or five pennies so be it. Just want to know why I'm paying anything that is all. I am a dedicated player, I purchased the imperial edition, the palomino horse, I'm subbing for 6 months when my month ends, blah blah blah I will buy anything they put in the store. The only reason I have a ps4 right now is because ESO, it collects dust until then. Again just want to know why in 6 months I have to pay to play the game that I already bought.
