Posted this in Gaming but I wrote it in a rush. Putting it in offtopic now with more voting options.
BTW it is not free 2 play in the sense that it is financed by microtransactions. You pay $70 for the disc and then it is free to play online. DLC is another topic.

This is what they do. Release on PC, then re-release on console. Makes them a ton of money this way. People may buy it, but it's not a new game. The updates will slow down and space apart. In my opinion, it's a poor MMORPG unworthy of the Elder Scrolls name. A cash grab relying on TES fans to blindly purchase it. Much like Destiny being bought on Bungie's name alone. If you're looking for a multiplayer version of Skyrim: you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a console MMORPG, with an Elder Scrolls look: go for it. It's your money. (Not my recommendation!)
