Consoles were certainly going to be B2P, which would you vote for? Just curious...

Naivefanboi✭✭✭✭i could care less at this point theyve made their bed. content was already on pause. now theyre just gonna let it stagnate, wait for those who dont like the model to leave so they dont have to worry with addressing them as often.
other then crown store and 1.6 not gonna see anything till a month or so after console launch. im sure they will seet aside about 2-3 months to just fix console bugs and get it stable lmao. mean while pc marinates in what its got atm.1 -

✭Thing is if we stayed sub, we'd expect quicker content updates, and that won't happen if they're writing content for consoles as well.2 -
Morshire✭✭✭✭Haha, I just had to choose squirrel cause I needed something to hold my nuts. ROTFLMFAO - Sorry OP, you put the choice there.

Real vote - (Squirrel) It is killing me. I feel like that damn dog in UP.
PC stays sub please (hypothetically speaking)Follow me if I advance, Kill me if I retreat, Avenge me if I die.
When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another evil, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it?
If I die, you are forgiven, If I live, I will kill you.1 -

Buck✭✭✭I just don't get why we all gotta be mirco managing now because of the few B2P crowd that wants easy access and no effort. We've already lost subs to this.
And I hate being micro managed for fluff or anything else in a game when I should just have access to it all. KHANSOLE!!! 0 -
Iago✭✭✭✭✭I love squirrels I wish I could have voted for both.That which we obtain to cheap we esteem to lightly, it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

✭It doesn't matter what we think. The subscribers are way too few to keep the game afloat. They have probably been bleeding money for quite some time. Most people who once played the game have now left, and those players obviously felt that the game ESO turned out to be is simply not worth a monthly fee. The recent turn of events has made me agree with those people.

✭I don't play console games, I would not care how they sold them billed them or anything, why should I don't even own a console, I am only concerned with the PC and what they do that effects the PC. 3 -
I voted squirrel due to the lack of a proper third option: Everyone remain subscription.
The console launch doesn't need to be b2p, it's actually a bad business move.
FF does it with subscription, and apparently, many console players pay a $30 subscription fee for DCUO.
It would not be possible to have more than one model. The team cannot split their effort to both design broken mechanics to support the cash shop on the consoles and at the same time design good mechanics aimed at increasing subscription numbers for the PC version .0 -

✭✭✭✭It is better of all platforms are as streamlined as possible. If one platform is B2P and one is note, that would effectively be developing for and maintaining two different games. That would make the gap between content releases even longer.
Development is easier if all of the systems on all platforms are as identical as possible.Edited by timidobserver on January 26, 2015 3:43AMV16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

At this point, Ive been lied to and it is obvious ZOS doesn't give a **** what I or any of their players think. So I don't really care about their game anymore, Im still playing it, but I can't say for how long.1 -
