I feel sorry for anyone who has bought the game through steam

You see, Steam and ESO occasionally have troubles and locks people who go through steam from playing the game.
I don't know much else about the issue, as i had the fortune to buy the game outside steam.
It never really made sense to me, to launch a game launcher (ESO) through a game launcher (Steam)
