Reading all the posts here and looking at other games made by this company (FO76), I think I have a good sense why we are seeing “seasons” being introduced.
Looks like you’ll need ESO+ to get *all* the seasonal rewards, similar to how it works in Fallout (from what I’ve read).
It feels like a way to push more people into subscribing, especially as new content starts slowing down.
I don’t think people will be using ESO+ as much for access to areas or dungeons anymore. Instead, it’ll mostly be about getting access to all the drops from a “season.”
Yeah, they’ll keep adding new content you can access from ESO+, but it probably won’t be exciting enough to bring in (or bring back) a lot of players to sub (or re-sub). Instead, the time-gated seasonal rewards and ongoing inventory management issues will keep driving subscriptions.
