I don't like Steam, that demand to always be online if you play a game even offline just annoys me.

Steam has functioned offline (although sometimes buggy) for ages.

I tried, but it seems you can't use your product key to activate it in your Steam library.

This. REALLY hope we get an announcement today/tomorrow about being able to transfer accounts like I can with single player games.

Not that it holds a ton of weight, but FFXIV:ARR, as far as I know, never gave people steam keys, which makes me less hopeful.

Doubt it means much, all the Tes games are on Steam, at least since Morrowind. Also there are many pay to play games such as FF14 ARR, Day Z, Eve.

Slight technicality. Skyrim was the first TES Steam Game, Oblivion and Morrowind were added to Steam after the release of Skyrim.

This can only mean one thing - further nerf of veteran content which will now allow to steamroll the opponents

I see it as a good thing since it gets more players in the game. ESO is one of the top sellers on steam at the moment too.

Not going to happen:

We won't be providing Steam keys to current ESO players, as Steam utilizes ESO's launcher and patcher, as well as our billing and account systems. Instead, if you'd like to play via Steam, you can add the existing title to Steam.

To do this, head to "Games" option within Steam and select "Add Non-Steam Game to My Library." Then, select the checkbox next to "The Elder Scrolls Online" and click "Add Selected Programs."

Are there any particular reasons why only the Windows version is available on Steam, and not the one for Mac OS X? And if so, what are they?

Given Valve's recent push for Linux, I'd have thought that they would've fallen over themselves to bring it into the fold, too.

I cannot help but wonder...

Update: all will be well

Also its software that I don't want on my PC, all those ads there ...

Hopefully we can still use ESO if we refuse to get Steam.

Hey buddy. You don't need always be online when you play a game. You can also set your user to offline if you want.

Steam is great! I use it for games, info, community, talks with friends. Its quite good.

Also, Steam have games that free to download and play. (not MMO)
