Please note that if you are a current ESO player on Steam, you will need to fully uninstall and reinstall the game in order for the new ESO/Steam client functionality to work. Here’s how. We are working on a fix so that in the future, this will not be necessary.
I'm not sure I understand this correctly: are you saying that, although I have the game (bought somewhere else), I have to buy it again if I want to link it with steam?
Note: If your version of ESO was not purchased through Steam, you will not be able to link your Steam account to your existing ESO account without purchasing a new copy of the game on the Steam platform first.

That is exactly what it says here.Note: If your version of ESO was not purchased through Steam, you will not be able to link your Steam account to your existing ESO account without purchasing a new copy of the game on the Steam platform first.

That's pretty much how it's always been so no surprises there.
"That's pretty much how it's always been for ESO so no surprises here."No. You can link many other games to your account by entering the product code.That's pretty much how it's always been so no surprises there.
But this is ZOSE so people shouldn't expect any less.
So If I buy it again through steam, will my current profile switch over so I can just continue playing where I left off?
You can't. Check out Wayfarer's post.So if I already own the Imperial Edition, which version would I buy on Steam?

So do I still need to create a separate ESO account for the Steam version if I already have a copy of the game on it from elsewhere? I remember that was the case some time ago.Note: If your version of ESO was not purchased through Steam, you will not be able to link your Steam account to your existing ESO account without purchasing a new copy of the game on the Steam platform first.
