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.

I'm not surprised. Recently the only MMO to be released that was buy-to-play was Guild Wars 2. As soon as Wildstar announced it was sub based I knew TES Online would do the same - they would have nothing to lose by being sub based now and going free-to-play down the line (even if they say that's not a plan). Just another prime example of revs not understanding gamers or the market anymore.
