EB Games Pulling All Copies Off The Elder Scrolls Online From Stores

Last year Bethesda Softworks released its latest installment in the highly popular Elder Scrolls franchise. The MMO, appropriately named 'The Elder Scrolls Online', never really got off the ground. Last December, Bethesda has stopped selling 6-month subscriptions on the 'not so massive' online game, suggesting the game might become Free to Play in the not too distant future. It seems these rumours might be true, because another interesting thing has occurred.

Australian retailer EB Games will remove Bethesda's first MMORPG from its (digital) assortment on the 13th of January this year, as is claimed by a source from Kotaku Australia. A directive has been sent out to all EB Games stores, asking to return all copies of The Elder Scrolls Online, including all of the prepaid cards.

EB Games itself has stated that it's a part of a 'normal stock recall they do after Christmas', and it should include multiple titles. "Not just specifically Elder Scrolls," the retailer answered to a question on Facebook. Kotaku's source then stated that the other titles in the recall are all excessive stock, whereas all of the copies of TESO will be ditched in the next few days.

What do you think? Do you think The Elder Scrolls Online will become Free to Play soon?

I hope so, I beta tested it from the very beginning and to be honest it wasn't enough to make me want to pay the £59 or £25 subscriptions.. it was just to plain.. and those god awful load times just ruined it, and don't get me started on waiting for a available server.
 
Just let people privately rent servers and let people mod to their hearts content. It'd be a winner that way.

Haven't played it myself but I watched a lot of video's on YouTube. If it will become Free to Play I'll give it a go, but I'm not paying for it!

This. Especially the modding, it made Skyrim so much better.
 
That game looked so bad, it needed atleast 2 more years in development. Free to play or not, that is a game i will never try.
 
As long as it doesn't become Pay To Win. It might stand a chance to do better. Hated that about Rift. The game was fun till reached pvp grinds, and battlegrounds, trying to get better stuff the natural way, only to be reamed by some casual player, who paid for his Sword of Overly stated might which was only available in the store.
