So... they just came out and announced that TES Online will have a subscription. $15 a month, the first month free when you buy the game itself (so not really 'free').
I was excited for this game. I can honestly say there's zero chance of me getting it now, which really bums me out.
Anybody else disappointed by the news? Thoughts on it? Just figured I'd spread the news since I don't see a thread on it.

More frustrating to me is that they still want $60 for the game up front. Personally, if you're going to put a subscription model on your game, I don't think you should be asking consumers to shell out that kind of money right off the bat. By the end of the year, anyone who buys Elder Scrolls Online will have payed almost 4 times as much for it than any other game on a console. That's insane.
