They're both around $15 for the basic membership and both require a pre-purchase.

Why is it perfectly acceptable for Squenix to do it but not Zenimax/Bethesda? Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with the model (or the games); it's just that the market seems really biased against TESO.
I'd like to think its just the company to "hate on" at the moment, most vocal people are ones that don't think that a TES game should have been given the MMO treatment and should stay a single player experience game.
