This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

A further complication is that Bethesda isn’t exactly famous for releasing bug free single player games, so when they make the jump to an MMO, longtime fans are incredibly wary from the start, wondering if the game will even work at launch.He also says he's not a big PC MMO guy.

It's not a Bethesda game idiot, and before even saying that he says "I’m not normally a big PC MMO guy."
So the guy who wrote the article is not a big PC MMO fan, doesn't know who's developing the game and is basically just upset that the game will have a subscription. The entire article is pretty much about how he doesn't like the subscription model.
The one paragraph in the article with any substance is this:

While obviously any game is going to produce a wide array of opinions, the general feeling I’ve read across countless message boards and forums is that the experience is simply average. While it does feel like a traditional Elder Scrolls game, there’s little benefit to the actual MMO aspect of it. Most of the game is played in single player mode anyway, but because it is an MMO, it looks visually worse than its predecessor, Skyrim, in many ways.

Yeah it did feel a lot like single player. Single player with other people populating the world doing their own thing too. I like that. I actually dislike EQ's design where you are forced to rely on others to do anything, and most MMOs since EQ have featured better single player experiences. Why is ESO being criticized for that? Plus we haven't seen much at all of the end game which is where most players will wind up spending their time.
tl;dr: bad article is bad.
