				 Elder Scrolls Online predicted to be biggest gaming fail of the year 
 
			
			- Sub based WITH "free" to play elements (Microtransactions)
 - People so far are very unimpressed with the beta
 
 - Story set before any of the TES games, therefore not exploring any new story territory.
 
 - Have to compete with the already successful console MMOs (FFXIV) and PC MMOs (World of Warcraft, who are bringing a big new expansion out around the time of TESO's launch)
 
 - Development costs of $200m, they'd need 7m subs to pay that cost back, only WoW has reached those numbers.
 
 - It is trying to be Skyrim/Oblivion and it simply isnt.
 
 
 It's gonna crash, Zenimax better make sure Fallout 4 is ready soon.
