You can start the game from either launcher. I own both the regular ESO and the Steam one.

And can you use a subscription purchased through Steam with normal launcher?

If you buy the game from Steam, you must have both steam and the regular launcher. You cannot launch the game without steam. I am a fan of steam in general, but I highly recommend people NOT buy ESO through steam. There will inevitably be a time when steam client has eso login issues and all your friends are playing eso but you can’t. Happens pretty regularly.

I have already an old ESO account.
I live in Argentina and there is a great difference between ESO subscription prices in Steam and the Webpage, that is why i want to purchase the subscription through Steam.

Just know that once you link your existing eso account to steam, you have 30 days to unlink it if you choose. After that time, you can never go back. You can never unlink it.

Ok thanks.
I have it linked, so when the installation (Steam) ends and i launch it do it ask me for the username / account? So i can use this one.

You use you same eso @ name and password. But you can’t start the launcher directly. You have to start it from steam or from a link created by steam.
