10 bucks says the game goes free to play with Zenimax's excuse being they want to reach Xbox customers.
I HATE free to play. Look at a game like Neverwinter. It is a truly great game, then totally ruined by it's business model. Swtor was pretty good at launch, quit a few months in, then tried it's F2P version a few months back and was disgusted. $5 to hide my helmet? $10 for a tradeskill?
The only genre to ever do free to play with microtransactions correctly has been non-persistent battle arenas (MOBA games).
I'd be happy if they just sorted the game out to use our CPUs properly. Its not the early 00s anymore. People have very powerful 4 cores (8threads) cpu systems these days, use our resources!!!!!
