Is there any way to activate my ESO on steam?

I know there wasnt when they started on steam. Did they manage to fix it?

No, they said register it as a non-steam game, that's it, done as far as they are concerned.

Asking if it will be "fixed" implies that it's broken. No one has ever stated that Valve intended to allow Steam activation for copies of the game purchased from other sources.

if a zos staff comments here either he/she will just say,

you can play this game as a non-steam product and then tells you how to do it

but that isnt really the point, some people actually want to get this as a steam product those who bought it and those who supported this game since the start but apparently we will not be getting it.

i for one am still waiting till i can get my collectors edition game into steam cause im an achievement nerd

The only way to get your current account to be on steam is to re-buy it on steam but not use the new account just use your current one.

Yes that is costly and I have no idea why you would want to, but it can be done.

You can only write Steam reviews if you played the game via Steam... I really would like to add my positive feedback.

Maybe someday they make it possible.

It was at first, then steam had a hissy fit and locked it only steam purchasers could do that.

Cause all the NON-steam ESO players where posted 'DO NOT BUY' all over the steam forums, so it was effecting their sales and they changed it.

For what has to be the thousandth time, this is not ZO's call. Steam is a Valve product, and Valve calls the shots when it comes to registering games on Steam.

Well I was defending on the steam forums, and I stand by my comments, this is a fun game.

ZOS -- please update us with how you are working making this happen? When will we be able to add our non-Steam purchased ESO account to Steam with full integration?

Short answer they aren't.

Long answer as far as they are concerned adding your game to steam as a non-steam game is the solution. Once you've done that, it's done and dusted.

Reading is your friend. The decision about Steam integration is Valve's to make. Not ZO's. ZO does not own Steam.
