Elder Scrolls Online reportedly removed from retail shelves amid free-to-play rumours Australian retailer EB Games will remove The Elder Scrolls Online from its bricks and mortar shelves on January 13, a Kotaku AU source claims. If the report is true then it serves as fresh evidence that Bethesda intends to scrap the MMOs monthly subscription fees in favour of a free-to-play model. Both boxed copies of the game, as well as pre-paid subscription cards, will reportedly be discontinued. The development follows news late last year that players can no longer purchase six-month subscriptions to the MMO, which was met with mixed reviews when it launched last year. While a moderator on an official French TESO forum claimed the six-month blocks were discontinued due to lack of demand (ie, customers prefer to buy shorter blocks), evidence is certainly mounting that a change is imminent. Our Chris Thursten wasnt impressed by Elder Scrolls Online, describing it as capable, but ultimately hard to recommend. A huge update is due later this month, ushering in dramatic changes to the MMOs post-game.
