Darkmistress1337✭✭✭Is there a way to un-link one's ESO account from Steam and instead login to ESO via the ZOS Launcher?

✭✭I do not log in through SteamI kept a principle to never get any game from Steam if it required a third party account or online activation when I still used Steam.
(There is rather massive pile of notable titles I've never played. Too bad.)

✭✭✭✭✭I log in through SteamSteam is the best. It is fast, it doesn't bother you often and when you need info you can receive a plenty in few clicks.
All other launchers I met are slow buggy mess, which always update something, which threw same ad in your face and force to look it for several seconds etc... Basically if game is not in steam launcher it should have overwhelmingly good reviews, both user and media for me to try it.3 -

✭✭I do not log in through SteamOnly use Steam because I'm forced to with many games. I've hated it from day one. It's like a side order of sewer sludge you're forced to eat with every meal. It's the ultimate spyware. Fortunately with ESO, there's an alternative.1 -

✭✭I log in through SteamSteam is great and I’ve only had extremely minor issues with it from time to time in the past, but I have a separate copy I can launch through my game files in case Steam is down and I’m supposed to do a trial or something.
There are just so many benefits to playing via Steam that it would be hard to play without it. I love having hours tracked, playing through my Steam profile, having Steam friends, reviews, badges, player number stats, etc, having payments setup through there and being able to use Steam credit to buy crowns, and having ESO in the same place as my other games, but one of the major benefits is the in-game overlay since it cuts down on significant hassle with alt tabbing while trying to search in TTC, look at set info, etc.2
