Pushing towards further integration with steam, plus multiple account support would be excellent.
Great work guys, looking forward to what will come out of this partnership next. |

As much as this is a great step forward, implementation limited to people who buy the game today seems a bit.. disappointing. I noticed when the subscription offers were added to the database and was chomping at the bit to have Steam handle the billing.
I'm fully aware I'm being impatient, but damn it... Been around (with two accounts off and on) since 2005 and I'd love to be able to test additional Steam integration. What kind of "performance" tests are being done anyway? The number of people who use Steam to manage subscriptions and buy PLEX, or is it just a check on the performance of steam-based logins?
With EvE being a bit long in the tooth (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just means it's a great game), I'm a bit concerned that if the performance being measured is in subscription increases this may not continue. |

Ohh, so this! It's always a pain to have to reconfigure my overview every time I install EVE (or have to re-install, for various reasons). I know we can back it up via xml, but it's not a complete backup, and I occasionally forget. I also love the idea of potentially being able to trade Steam items for PLEX.
Aside from that, I'm glad you're finally integrating the two. I've been playing EVE through Steam since I started playing. |

Please make a free option for EVE on Steam so existing customers can use it without having to go for the demo (this is what I am doing at the moment). |

Is there any possibility of creating a way for us to link our existing EVE Online and Steam accounts or ID's? I have lots of Steam games already and haven't wished for a while that I could play EVE through Steam so I could track my gameplay and have my friends see me playing EVE. |

I bought my EVE key on steam a couple of years ago but I don't really care for using my steam ID to login to EVE.
What I DO like about this is that I would gladly drop Paypal so I can purchase game time through steam, although I see that currently you only have the recurring payment option. I would only use it if I could do an one-time payment. ( Although I would prefer to pay with bank transfer directly through account management )
Also, please don't do steam achievements, I don't like achievements. What would they be anyway? Finish 1000 lvl 4 missions, Kill 10 000 rats in belts, succesfully awox 10 corps, scam 50 people, Mine till you drop ( 6 hours straight ) ... |

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...
Yeah, that was quite annoying, to say the least! Among other little things that were broken for some time is the Steam Overlay: according to our developers it will be fixed in the Odyssey release.

I've actually had a mention of world domination in an earlier draft of the blog; glad to see people can still read it between the lines

Steam workshop is where people take the work of other people and upload it again as their own.
If I could play certain games without Steam, I would.
Good luck however with your plans for total annihil.....sorry world domination.

This is great news! If it's any comfort, it seems I'm having zero issues taking screenshots using Steam, and was able to upload them to my Steam cloud, as well, so that portion is at least working.
EDIT: As far as using the Steam Workshop, I think a great addition for ease-of-downloading would be to allow people to post Overlay settings for download. These are always handy for new players, and having them readily available in a central location would be immensely beneficial.

So to ensure I'm reading this correctly, we'll have to pay for a new account through steam to be able to purchase plex through steam? Would opening a new account through a trial on steam count? If not any idea how soon we might be able to purchase plex through steam without having to buy another account?
Reason I'm so interested is that I've got around $300 sitting in steam from selling off dota2 crap I traded for when playing that heavily. Don't really buy a whole lot of games so I'd love to be able to just turn this into plex.
Always nice to have better integration, I had bought Eve through steam previously but as other people have said I very quickly just started using the standard launcher. Not a whole lot of interest in going back to using steam unless there was some support for multiple accounts / better launching of multiple characters etc.
edit: also if i don't want to wait and currently have eve attached to my steam account can i still buy the started pack to be eligible to buy plex? |

It's been awhile since I used Steam, but my experience was suboptimal to say the least. I'm hoping this isn't step 1 in a move to Steam-only EVE. I would also be a bit miffed if Steam users were getting perks others aren't. It's good to see you guys being flexible and providing lots of options though!

... and CCP Atropos just told me that the Overlay functionality has already been fixed and is available right now. For those who missed it -- enjoy!

My game is broken entirely.
I get (1/4) validating client 0% through Steam and a greyed out play button.
I can't download the game from the Eve support website, as I get archive error, and can't download the files manually (URL unavailable).
Meanwhile, my skill time is wasting away. |

Downsides of Steam.
1. Disallows multiple accounts logged in at the same time from one computer. It would be disastrious if Steam was forced just because of this reason.
2. If you are banned from one thing on Steam, you immediately are banned from everything. i.e. if a payment dispute occurs for eve, you lose all your games and account
3. Steam support queue times directly compete with petition time. EVE's petition times might actually be shorter.
4. The old Steam EVE builds had many issues with patches and updates. Many times the launcher could not update itself correctly or the system before the launcher could not find the folders correctly.
I also hope the Steam Overlay doesn't give incentive to remove the IGB. The IGB is incredibly useful with its elementary API and usage. Though it SEVERELY needs a upgrade to the latest Awesomium. |

Why is it that STEAM doesn't know how to find my already installed EvE? It finds my EvE Singularity folder, but calls it "Play EVE (Safe Mode)". It also finds "Repair", but under EvE Singularity.
Good work on starting the better STEAM integration, but still a bit to go. ;) |

So...with STEAM support being fixed, better integration on the horizon, and STEAM being a supporter of cross-platform games...is there hope for a revival of the Linux client? |

I enjoy the fact that CCP have plans to take over the world!
But I would be really sad if something starts consuming EVE.... care with steam! Don't let them touch the game mechanics.
I don't want any kind of steam POP up in my EVE, nor it running in the back consuming my system resources!
Buy if eve could grab more players from steam community, it would be good, so they quit steam and start playing and worshiping only eve!!! It would be all part of the plan (*Mad evil laugh)!

Since I already have Eve on Steam it won't let me purchase the bounty hunter starter pack so that I can access the PLEx purchase option. Is there a way to remove Eve from my owned games so that I can buy the starter pack? I'd love to give you all this money if I can just find a way lol. |

You won't have to worry about this last bit, I'm almost positive, since the subset of players who use Steam to play EVE is probably pretty low, and they aren't moving the client exclusively to the platform.

Nope. Part of the problem too is that if you buy the edition they're selling now, you'd have to make a new account for it to work. There is no current method to combine an existing account to Steam. |

The publicity of a $5 Sale of EVE Online on Steam is what brought me to this game. Steam starts when my computer starts and only closes when my computer shuts down. It uses very few resources especially when minimized to the system tray (~23MB of RAM and virtually no CPU). I run 4 EVE Online clients at max settings simultaneously with Steam in the background and I have no issues with performance (I have 6GB of RAM). I can only launch 1 client from Steam; the rest I launch from "..\Eve Online\bin\ExeFile.exe" from a Shortcut on my Desktop. So that mean's I only get the Steam Overlay on 1 client which kinda sucks but I am just so happy that I have the Steam Overlay at all.
I would love to integrate my current EVE Online accounts or at the very least, one of them with Steam. I look forward to the day when that is possible.
I understand why CCP would be hesitant to promote purchasing PLEX or subscriptions through Steam as Steam takes a % of all money that goes through it; whereas, they get all of it if you purchase directly through CCP. So I understand why they have limited it to only new accounts purchased through Steam at this time. Still, I hope one day it is possible to manage all of my account subscriptions and game launching directly through Steam.
One final thing, the gameplay tracking and friends list on Steam is a huge social marketing opportunity. I have had 3 or 4 friends that saw me playing EVE Online on their friends list and messaged me about it wanting to learn more about EVE. It was a great opportunity to educate them and hand them a Buddy Invite. |

i bought my EvE in Steam a while ago, principally because i was able to use another currency without a international credit card. And for that reason i still using only Steam to get my games. It will be wonderful see the plexes or the GTC in there.
But i wonder, i'm using the same e-mail in EvE and in Steam, in the case of a possibility to unite the accounts, this will not create a conflict?
Steam creates greats opportunity to sell things like package of customizations like clothes, but i believe the workshop cannot be used in EvE, just don't make sense a sandbox game using exclusively tools. It will be deadly to the game if we can start take ships there with real money. And players making customization in workshop will only be viable if the changes affect only themselves, or the game will be turned into a "Pimp my Ride" series.
Well, sorry for the bad english.
