I understand that, i'm all for supporting good developers. They will be getting the initial 60 dollars for the game that alot more people will buy if it isn't subscription based, having more people in the game will make more oppurtunites for them to buy stuff from the in game cash shop, items skins, trinkets etc....like in guild wars 2. Even though gw2 has some issues it has by far the best business model for any mmo ever made. With things being the way they are right now asking for a monthly subscription from your fans is going to kill off a great deal of potential consumers. Many of us long time bethesda fans would save what little we have and buy their games. We want to support them because they're an amazing company. They would make more money by not having it subscription based, and that's simply because of how many die hard loyal fans their are of betheda and the elder scrolls series. Asking for an inital fee creates a really big barrier that will stop alot of potential money coming in, that's why I hate subscription based to begin with. People that want to support the game will spend well over 15 dollars a month, people that are poor will still save up to buy the game and spend what little extra spending money they have on items aswell. I just don't like subscription based models, it's rather greedy and creates alot of barriers for potential buyers and it also creates a barrier for plenty of their fans, who might get pissed off enough to where they don't buy anymore games from bethesda, I will still support bethesda on their good games, but this isn't one of them and i'm going to continue fighting for this even though it's probably not going to happen.

The people behind The Elder Scrolls Online have announced that they are going with the subscription based business model. This is something I feel that alot of bethesda and elder scrolls fans are not going to like and want to change. Please help by signing this petition and hopefully bethesda will see it and seriously reconsider their decision. https://www.change.org/petitions/bethesda-the-elder-scrolls-online-change-the-business-model-from-subscription-based-to-one-time-purchase#share
