Hi there!
I had the same idea as you!
Sadly, the new steam account will be a stand alone and not connected to your current one.
You can not log in through steam with your game license that you bought outside steam.
The steam gold edition you buy now, will have all the steam achivements etc, just like any normal steam game. But it will be a "new" account. Your current ESO game account is different and can not be linked to steam other then just a shortcut.
Yeah, people have been saying that this indeed works. If you buy a new copy of ESO on Steam, you can link you existing ESO account to it using the steps in the support article.coplannb16_ESO wrote: »Actually if the knowledge base is correct you can connect your existing account to your steam purchased ESO Client:
