I know it recently dropped it's monthly subscription but you still have to buy the base game. On my local video game buy and sell I noticed someone selling ESO for PS4 used for $45. My question is, will the potential buyer of this used disc be prompted to buy a new ESO key($69.99CDN) when they try and create a new account for it?

Nope, I have a rented copy from an online service and it works fine - all you have to do is sign into a Bethesda account and you're good to go.

@garfield518: Thanks!
