Are there Steam achievements or badges for ESO?
There are currently no Steam achievements or badges for ESO.
There is a lot of butt hurt here so let's simplify things. If you are whining for the following reasons:
• I want to use the Steam Overlay
• Someone got something I didn't
• Hur-durr derp, I just like jumping on the bandwagon and complaining about everything
Here are some solutions:
• Add ESO using Steam's "add a non-steam game". Ta-da! It's now accessible through your Steam Library
• Well that would be the first time in the history of forever that someone got something someone else didn't have. Evil Zenimax, how dare you provide incentives for new players to join ESO.
• Stop being a tool, no one cares if you're going to "quit in disgust" or whatever. Bugger off and leave us to it.
I pre ordered the Imperial Edition and understood that I was paying a premium for that product. I was not daft enough to think that it would never go on sale or be rebundled with different items at some stage because I'm not a halfwit. So to all the people whinging: please, please try to stop being wankers.

"Many a person has bought clothes only to see the same garment on sale a week later..."
"Many a person has bought clothes only to see the same garment on sale a week later..." .. On it.. Not everything is as black and white
Well then where does that leave our old copies of TESO? In the garbage! We cannot claim the Steam features on our nerfed copy of the game. This failure/bad business has to be managed accordingly so it is resolved with the interest of the consumer, and not it's sales.
Did you just compare a game that has to be purchased and then payed monthly to a shirt?.. On it.. Not everything is as black and white.
"...grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."
Steam is a separate business. They work out deals with publishers to put the games on their "platform". Those publishers have no need to issue instructions on how to use Steam. The are also not beholden to the companies after to keep up any maintenance / game changes that may occur (e.g. Defiance going F2P - DLC for it bought on Steam didn't work in the game after the change unless you bought it originally via Steam).
I'm still unsure why them placing ESO on offer over a weekend is really such an issue, even after reading all the "complaints" here. MANY businesses do similar things (especially phone companies and banks) and no one hold petitions and crys foul - they move their business to the offered one or accept they will not get the new phone / discount / cheeky pink pig piggy-bank. Many a person has bought clothes only to see the same garment on sale a week later and "reasonable expectations" are NOT contractual obligations ( @deltahost )
I opened this post with a simple quote in hopes of bridging some understanding that, "Because I want it!" is not a valid business arrangement. All you are showing is you feel entitled to something you did not pay for.
In my opinion, I believe @UlanX built the above as a house of bricks, not straw, because I see the argument stands despite the large amount of Huff-and-Puff you tried to blow it down with.
It is that black and white but some "gamers" have an over inflated sense if entitlement.
Hey @Ulanx,
Honestly I did not know TESO has a store. Does it let me play the game in a way I see fit, no. There is anti-competitive behavior between Steam and ZeniMax Media stores. Consumers are limited with one store to purchase TESO commodities. Sure it is possible to explain that it is nothing new, look at the ISPs, shirt industry , etc.
