> If you purchased the game through Steam you must start the game on that platform. SINCE WHEN THIS IS A THING???

I played yesterday (and for the past 2 years like this) I had the original client for years now because there was always some *** going on with steam authentication and you couldn't log in there properly.
Seriously?
Can I play the damn game? PLEASE?
I have to download 200GBs or so again?
Have anyone experienced something like this?!

You can visit The Elder Scrolls Online Store to purchase the full game version, even if you already own the base game from Steam.

Dear Admin,

Maybe I'm wrong or I misunderstood you. I really want to understand now what's going on. Are you openly telling me that I have to buy the game again? So you are saying that I played the game before (yesterday even) like I am used to for over 2 years now but now I can't? Because it is and was possible before but you changed it yourselves. So now not only I have to download 200GB again, setup all my addons again but also just buy the game again for no reason after 6 years?! Please explain me why I can't play your game.

If you are trying to play ESO on Steam, you don't need to purchase the game again to fix any login issues.

What is the exact login error that you're currently getting in ESO on Steam?
