Since ZOS have their own store and it is not on Steam at the same time, there will NOT be a steam version then?

I'm not that concerned if I can buy it via steam, even though I do really like the service. I just hope that the in-home streaming works!

Probably not. It kinda makes since too, since they must have powerful servers for all the updates and stuff, they may as well distribute the game from them too and take 100% of all money without the need to share it with Valve.

And being a MMO you must create an account and give them your money details to play the game anyway.

Doesn't mean it won't be on Steam. Just because a company offers a digital download doesn't mean they don't also sell it in other digital stores. Happens all the time. Sure, they have a bigger margin selling it on their own website, but despite how much you or I might be be following the release of ESO, there are millions of people who aren't, and would only find out about it there. Steam in particular; it's like the digital-download game equivalent of Wal-Mart.

I understand, now I am wondering how well the Overlay will work with ESO? Will ESO keep track of hours? Will it be easy to share ingame achievements?

Well, I didn't say it definitely would be on Steam, or that the overlay will work with it even if it is. I was just pointing out that just because a company offers a digital download in it's own store doesn't mean it won't be offered in other stores, too.

Just add the game to your steam library

i hope to mara theres no steam connected to eso in no way shape or form' all my downloads took litteraly a week and sometimes more. i hate steam

I still want ESO steam but...

Take RIFT for example, one can get a non steam version of the game and one can also can get a steam version as well. I am thinking that ZOS is doing the same here.

Did I mention that I want ESO on Steam?

Still two months to release. Just because it's not available yet doesn't mean it won't be available period.
