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 MMO's 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 wasn't 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 MMO's post-game

Looks like it might not be for F2P reasons...we'll see soon enough. I imagine ZOS will have to say something at this point.
Elder Scrolls stock removal just part of "normal stock recall"
"This is just part of a normal stock recall. Post-Christmas we ask stores to send back anything that they may have too much of in store. This time we included many titles, including The Evil Within, Destiny and The Elder Scrolls Online."

I don't think so. I admit I haven't played the game on PC but it has gotten TONS of praise for how much it's improved since it was released last year...with another HUGE update coming soon. Looks like pretty much all the people hating on it still are people that played the beta and gave up on it.
