Should I play this through ZoS or Steam?

Hello, I posted this in the Technical forum but its more of a general question but I need some pretty quick opinions before spending a bunch of unnecessary money.

So last night Steam users had issues with logging in and I wasn't able to get it working until fairly late in the night through a work around in the files. Bit of a pain to have to do that every time but whatever, I will play around with other solutions when I get off work today.

Bigger issue is playing through Zos or Steam. I bought the game through Steam years ago and bought the latest expansion packs from cdkeys.com, but initially like I said through Steam so is there any way possible to have my account transferred somehow to work directly through ZOS and not through Steam anymore?

Furthermore, if there is no way to transfer would it make sense to go buy the latest expansion and subscribe to ESO + again and start over with ZOS as parent launcher and not have to worry about Steam again?

I have ESO+, several of the collectors Editions as well as physical Col Ed of Morrowind, bought different hairstyles and furniture parlor packs, all storage chests and 2 big houses as well as several medium houses on my Steam account as well as some smaller purchases.

Just need to know or get input from you all am I worrying too much or would it be worth it? I been playing for while now and haven't experienced any real issues with steam. I plan to play this game for years to come. This game for me is just so satisfying in so many ways I don't think I can ever play any other mmo again. Before someone asks, I am not a multiple account holder or anything, I usually play one account and thats it so having multiple accounts does not interests me.

Tldr: Steam user and I had issues last night logging in, should I somehow ask for a transfer to ZOS directly or keep playing steam and not worry about it. I have several crown unlocks on Steam account already so would it be worth it you think?

Thank You.

    Steam being down is pretty rare (twice in a year I can think of).

    Have you opened a ticket with ZOS to ask if you can do a transfer ?

    Due to there already being a thread discussing ZOS or Steam, we are going to close this down so that you may continue the discussion here.

    Thank you for your understanding.
