The Elder Scrolls Online Dropping Subscriptions in March

The Bethesda Blog announces a March 17th launch date for ESO: Tamriel Unlimited, confirming suspicions that a subscription-free model was in the works for The Elder Scrolls Online, which was launched as a subscription-only MMORPG. This relaunch for Windows will be followed by the game's release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on June 9th. Existing subscribers and new players can also choose whether or not to subscribe to ESO Plus, a monthly microtransaction commitment. Here's a new cinematic trailer kicking off a four-part series, and here's word:
In Tamriel Unlimited, you’ll be able to purchase optional downloadable content, and the in-game Crown Store will offer convenience and customization items. Already a subscriber? You’ll become a member of ESO Plus to receive monthly in-game benefits and a monthly allotment of Crowns to spend in the store. Our team remains committed to providing a great experience to all players, and you can expect continued, regular updates free of charge in addition to our new store offerings.
Update: Removed the term "free-to-play" from the story, since it is not an accurate description of a game you still have to purchase.
