EVE has been available through Steam for quite a while now. With more and more people using it as a way to connect to EVE Online, we have decided to make the process even simpler. CCP Spitfire's new dev blog talks about where we've been, where we are, and where we're going with EVE on Steam.

This, please. Better integration for new accounts is great and all, but something as simple as being able to use SSO through Steam with our current accounts would go a long way toward more people using this new stuff.
Also, any word on changes to Buddy Invites in regards to this? Currently if someone buys the game through Steam, their Buddy Invite isn't considered valid and the inviter gets nothing. I'd hope that with better integration between the two services that this is changed so buying through Steam is as valid a way to move from a 21 day trial to a paid account.

This
I'd like EVE to take it's rightful place in my steam library with the other games I play regularly.
I'd like my steam friends to know when I am playing EVE and be able to be curious about it and find it on steam because of this.
(I realize these first 2 can be achieved somewhat by manually adding the game but it is not the same)
I'd like to be able to install EVE via steam like all my other games when I move to other computers.
Steam achievements would be nice.
I'd like to have an easy way to make my EVE screenshots public for my steam friends.
I'd REALLY like it if steam would background patch EVE for me like other steam games 
Most importantly, I'd like this all to happen without me having to "buy" anything else. I've been subscribed to EVE longer than steam has been public so I would hope I would be included in the group of people considered to "own" EVE

Ship skins/Clothing on the Steam workshop? Maybe a mission designer?
PLEX on the market place. I'd love to be able to buy a month's subscription by selling Dota and TF2 crates.

This and...
It'd be fantastic if my game settings (overview, layout, etc) were saved on the steam cloud so reinstalls would be a LOT less hassle, plus access from different computers, etc, would all tie up.

This would be nice, except none of the new unified login stuff works for me (and some others). The login pages at login.eveonline, secure.eveonline, and community.eveonline just don't load. This includes the new launcher. The forums are the only place we CAN login anymore. What did you guys change about the login pages when you started messing with all this unified login stuff? Because for those of us experiencing it, it affects every PC on our networks. |

I agree absolutely. What we are doing is offering the Steam users an easier path into the game compared to the way EVE was set up on Steam before, but we are not building any "exclusive" features for that platform.

Not at the moment. We want to evaluate the results of the initial implementation before making any next steps, which may take a while.

....what?
Valve owns Steam, Steam is available on Linux, Mac and Windows. Microsoft have nothing to do with Steam (except for making Gabe Newell rage with Windows 8) |

Did you guys ever fix the patching issues, I used Steam when I started, but got annoyed with (not sure if it was CCP or Valve) patches frequently breaking the steam-auto-updated version. |

I admit, I skimmed.
But is there any chance of making EVE free on Steam.
Really would like to move EVE under the Steam umbrella. But I'm not going to spend $20 just to do it
*Yes, I know there's the 'Demo'. But it's unclear if that's setup differently...say for Play-time Tracking. Plus, I just don't like seeing 'Demo' in my game library.
Really do like the suggestion that "/My Documents/EVE/"-folder be backed up to the Steam Cloud. Maybe even full Steam integration where the Screenshots are uploaded to Steam's screenshot storage. - rember I haven't used EVE one Steam...so I don't know if it all ready does that. |

Yes, these issues should be fixed (but please let us know if something is still broken!)

My first account/character (Atacdad) was purchased and set up under Steam in Sept. 2008. Steam was quickly left behind and I prefer the direct download/install. I would see Steam as having an advantage (and I would use it) if I can purchase game time and plex via Steam and avoid the international currency charges I have to pay now because the current transactions originate overseas. I don't believe this affects what CCP makes in income, but it saves me a few dollars per transaction.

As a pretty regular Steam user (sheesh since 2003) I think that this is a nice thing to have the integration finally "real."
What I'd like to see in the future (in no particular order):
* Steam in-game overlay functions (screenshots, video, etc) - MUST NOT conflict with other frequently used overlay programs (e.g. TeamSpeak3, Mumble, etc)
* Community Hub and Workshop tie-ins (think Alliance and Corp logo submission processes, ship skin submission processes, Lore submission processes, etc)
* Ability to manage/authenticate more than one EVE account (since this wouldn't be too terribly helpful if the EVE Account authentication was tied to a single Steam Account)
* Possible Steam Sale incentives related to Power of Two, PLEX, Aurum, etc.
* Dust Account tie-ins as well (since it's possible to login to Steam from PS3)
** Buddy Invites via Steam account activation would be huge as well as it's currently missed (as has been mentioned)
* Possibility to leverage the Steam Groups function for alliance/corp communications/forums/announcements/events with hooks into the EVE API for Corp/Alliance calendars etc

I'm absolutely stoked by this, as Steam is my preferred gaming platform. I'll wait (im)patiently for the ability to merge my current account with Steam, since that's where I had purchased it in the first place.
Also, this is probably a small thing, but I cannot thank you guys enough for removing the expansion title from the game on Steam; it was always annoying to fire up EVE on Steam and have it say "EVE Online: Inferno" when it was very not...

Nice work!
I know it will be of interest to someone inside CCP, so here's a bit of market data for you: I have a Steam account and "a number of" EVE accounts (more than 1). I would be interested in an account amalgamation which allows me to combine any of my accounts into one other account, such as say a few of my EVE accounts into a Steam account. Amalgamating my accounts into a Steam login would be especially attractive if there was a way select a group of characters to open EVE clients for, such as my mining fleet versus my mission running fleet versus my market operations fleet.
I have bought stuff on Steam (a bunch of Mac OS X games, including Portal and Portal 2) and have bought stuff on the Apple App Store too (including things like OmniFocus which are big ticket items in the iOS App Store). That is to say: I spend money through these stores, though I have not yet bought PLEX to sell for ISK.
I play almost exclusively on OS X (though there is that piano-black Medion laptop I bought because I wanted to run more characters at once).
Hope that helps someone.

I have two accounts I regularly use and would love to be able to launch Eve from Steam and be able to one-click sign in to either account, without providing any further passwords.
