Elder Scrolls Online Will Not Require PlayStation Plus Membership for PS4
The upcoming release from ZeniMax Online and Bethesda has been confirmed to
NOT require a PlayStation Plus account…which I’m sad to say can’t be said the same for Xbox One owners as it will require a Xbox Live Gold membership on top of the monthly membership subscription the game will charge.

This means basically that PS4 owners will be paying the same model as PC and Mac gamers while Xbox One users are hit for more for the Live membership. This, of course, isn’t anything new. Microsoft has been doing this for ages.
Interestingly enough the folks at ZeniMax Online clarified the question on whether PC and Mac users will be able to play against PS4 users and the resounding answer is NO. There will be only one of two mega servers, one in North America and another in Europe that PS4 console gamers will be playing on.
PC closed beta testing is ongoing right now but no date has been announced for the PS4 beta which is expected sometime this year.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
