Skyrim ONLINE having paid subscription fee......tell me it ain't so...

My friend told me Skyrim Online is charging $15 a month......I'm hoping his facts are wrong or I will no longer be in existence,

if you really cant afford 15 bucks then you should look for a different hobby

I expect the game to be a pretty big flop seeing as it's yet another paint by numbers soul crushingly boring, grindy MMORPG, so I wouldn't be surprised if it goes free to play after a while.

Disagree. Imagine that TC buys a bunch of game each month, is he buying all those games and still needing to buy the subscription to a game? 

You'd rather get prompts to enter your credit card number to purchase something every 2 minutes while you're playing a game, rather than just pay the $15/month and actually be able to enjoy your entertainment experience?

I don't see why people hate subs. If the game is any good and worth playing paying 15 a month isn't bad. I did it for wow for years. I really got my money's worth too. I wouldn't wanna play a f2p mmorpg. AutoPilotOn

people would rather get nickle and dimed to death with microtransactions than pay 15 dollars to have access to everything the game has to offer

mmorpg games take alot of money and manpower to maintain

Damn, come on...it's called Elder Scrolls Online.

And they are justified in asking for a monthly fee, just like I'm justified to never pay it.

Much like everything that isn't World of Warcraft, it'll be free to play within 6 months.

The reason I'm against subscriptions is because I know a couple months in they will be removed anyways. So I'm not wasting my money in the first place when a couple months later the newer players will have spent nothing monthly.

If the game is good enough, I don't mind paying $15 a month. I just won't go out to eat a couple times, or find some other way to make up for it. I usually have some spending money though. I just don't know about this game yet. Hoping I get into the beta. Friend was invited to a couple closed betas but was at work while they were taking place. Like 3pm-6pm.

ive played morrowind, oblivion and skyrim all on the xbox and will continue onto the new console, and being new to mmo, I'm wondering can anyone tell me exactly what the $15 a month gets spent on?GR1PZILLA

Automatically not buying it after reading this.

Its not about not being able to afford it but in this day and age of so many great free online games why should anybody pay its just greed, world of warcraft player base is dropping and look at what happen to starwars so if they think they can use the skrim name to rape people pockets think again.

i dunno, maybe because it costs insane amounts of money to create and maintain these types of games? pay 2 play has been the standard for mmorpgs for the last 15 years until recently
