Don't think so. We as PC Gamers are doing a full beta (Maybe Alpha) test for them so they can have it perfect on release. Many of us don't mind paying for the privilege of being part of that test, NOT!
There's no respect for us PC Gamers any more

I know two people personally who would love it if they could play right now but they are on console and have to wait till sometime this summer. We are lucky.2 -

Every mmo launch has issues, I've been part of launch on more than I can count, this is normal and the rage of the screamers is old and repetitive . In either case most recent news confirmed from Zeni is that console subs are their own fee (as they use their own servers) so since they discussed sub details, the game is still coming.3 -

The vast majority of ESO players don't have the same problems that Bleeding Edgers are seeing in the VR levels. My guess is that the average player hasn't reached level 30 yet and is probably enjoying his/her journey through Tamriel in smaller, bite-sized morsels.7 -

Also could be why they are fixing the bugs at 1-50 before moving on to fix VR content most people havent even made it to yet.

Im not flaming you what are you talking about? I have been rather polite to you considering how rude you were to me.Edited by ZOS_JoanaL on April 18, 2014 12:05AM10 -
Gedalya✭✭✭✭✭I'm not aware of any reputable sources for this scuttlebutt. However I have found the following article from IGN which claims the console versions resulted from Sony's insistence on the game coming to PS4:
ign.com/articles/2013/09/07/sony-pushed-for-the-elder-scrolls-online-to-come-to-consoles
If this is true as the article states; one can wonder what would happen if difficulties did arise as the original business model only would have been for the PC. I hope this this game does come to console as it is phenomenal.0 -

Wow, what an angry little chap...nobody was flaming you. I (like many others) have been happily playing the game since March 30th, but I can't play 24/7, so in my downtime I keep up on news in these PUBLIC forums.
Regarding the OP, no official news has hinted at regarding canceling console versions...I too have a few non-PC savvy friends eagerly waiting for the game to reach them.

Gohlar✭✭✭✭Consoles have ads for ESO. They'd never cancel it, much bigger market. It's hard for mmos to catch on, but when one finally does it will make a fortune.0

They are just months from release... cancelling now would be a disaster considering the development time. It is better to release a suck-face project and make something that to release nothing and lose everything. However, I expect that by the time the console stuff rolls out most of the bugs will be fixed.
That is probably one of the reasons they chose unity as an engine, less separate development for all the formats.Side effects of reading messages on forums can cause nausea, head aches, spontaneous fits of rage, urination due to intense laughter, and sometimes the death of your monitor or other object in throwing range. If you find that you are reading forums more than 24 hours a day, please consult your nearest temporal physicist.0 -
My Xbox One has ESO showing up in the trailers and vids frequently lately so they seem on point to me.0

In game yes, I'm very helpful to anyone in trouble.
On this forum I spent sometime adding links to a good player fix to the login issues to help out other disgruntled players (Yes I will do it with complaint against ZOS.).
I'll do my bit including reporting gold sellers about every ten minutes and other bugs.
So I'm not bad as you're trying to make me out.Edited by ZOS_JoanaL on April 18, 2014 12:14AM2 -

amen brother, this game certainly isn't worth a sub..i may come back when its actually playable. The bots,spammers,disconnects.bank dupe glitch destroying the economy,and many more things, make playing this game a waste of time.1 -

No they don't, I'm curious if subscriptions will even manage to pay for the server upkeep.
Ps4's and xbox1 don't have that great of market penetration yet, also couple with it the fact the PC release probably hasn't met sell expectations, and well, I don't see the console releases being anything other than a Hail Mary.
Canceling it would hurt them short term for turning a profit on ESO, but it might actually be better for the long game of not turning off a bunch ES fans to future releases; as this game is headed down a path toward flopping hard.

Disagree, it's not perfect, but because I want this game to be perfect I am going to keep supporting them by helping with my small 8.99 pounds a month payment. If we all take your approach they'd be no game to come back to...

This is all a bit presumptuous. Have Zeni released any information regarding sub numbers etc... and their projected short term costs? If so please point me in the direction so I can check the numbers.
I am not sure on console numbers sold, someone previously mentioned 7m PS4 being sold. I think if they corner just 10% of those that'd be 700'000 new subs. I don't think server maintenance costs 6,293,000 GBP a month, but I could be wrong...Edited by Mortelus on April 18, 2014 1:46AMWho has time? But if we never take time how can we ever have time?2 -

No they haven't released numbers yet, I'm basing my numbers off the PvP campaigns with a couple of other statistics and circumstantial facts to come to the conclusion that sale numbers have probably been far lower than they were expecting. The PvP campaigns are pretty good health indicators, with 2000 people max per, and adjusting based on the percentage of players likely pvping and assigned to a campaign you can get a ball park estimate of players on that server.
Server farm costs can be averaged, based on others in the industry. The costs that are hardest to figure out are things like, if ZOS has cold sites, warm sites, or hot sites running in addition to their primary site.
I think 700,000 is a bit ambitious, I think more realistically 3 to 7 percent may purchase the game on ps4, with about 40 percent of those subbing for another month.
It's a lot of guesstimating, but I just don't see how they could justify development cost for bugs and patches across that many platforms without a larger player base to warrant it.
