The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has suffered a significant loss in positive ratings on Steam. This is due to login issues. Nevertheless, players love the game and criticize it in a highly constructive and polite manner.
The Elder Scrolls Online has a problem on Steam. Until recently, the Steam reviews for ESO were still “Very Positive”. However, massive login issues occurred, completely locking players out of the game over the weekend. Huge Reddit threads and a multitude of dissatisfied players were the result.
This, in turn, led to a massive decline in user reviews. As a result, ESO is now only found in the “Mixed” category on Steam.
We love the game anyway!
What’s so special about that? It’s nothing new for games to drop significantly on Steam after massive bugs. The last time this happened was with Bless and its troubled early access. However, unlike competing titles, even the negative reviews for The Elder Scrolls Online are often very polite and constructively worded.
ESO is still good! Many critics are only complaining about the unacceptable login issues of The Elder Scrolls Online. The game itself is worth every penny and truly good. So it’s advised not to refrain from purchasing, at most from playing on Steam, until the login issues are resolved.
Don’t buy it on Steam!
Don’t ruin your fun! A user on Reddit summed up the sentiment of concerned ESO players quite well. He loves ESO and fears that new players will be immediately driven away if they cannot log into the game regularly.
That would be extremely unfortunate, as The Elder Scrolls Online is such a good MMO. Therefore, he earnestly advises all interested gamers not to get the game on Steam. The regular PC version via the own launcher does not have the login issues.
Zenimax is working on a solution
In a tweet, the developers at Zenimax have already announced help. They are already working on a solution for the login problems on Steam.
