I know it's still a bit of a white until it moves but this is something I can't get my head around.

How will Bethesda migrate your Bethesda account/ move your game with steam?

yes starting in April you will be able to merge your bethesda account to your steam account. Thing is i have several games over there that are NOT on steam, will these also come across and have several more that i own there and here.

What about extra's you got on bethesda but dont have on steam (if you own the game/s on both clients)? Are we going to actually be losing stuff and games? e.g The elder Scrolls Daggerfall (not on steam) Fallout 76 have on both clients but have more on bethesda than steam, i also have rage 2 wolfenstein youngblood and others with the odd extra's (but not all) will i just end up with the base game?

So many questions here.... Yes i have had and seen these so called merges come before and have always lost items and extra's.. But luckily no complete game loss. But i can see at least 4 that are not listed at all on steam.

What exactly is the benefit of playing a game through Steam versus another launcher? I've never understood that. When I play games, I just use the launcher for that specific game. What does Steam offer more than any other launcher?

Nothing.

Wrong.... it offers LAG since the steam client actually has to log onto the Bethesda Client which then connects to the game and launch's that way, thus creating an extra step (and lagg) through the whole process. Not all do this requirement to connect to the other client (e.g Uplay requires other clients to connect through Uplay for all their games, Origin only has some, not all) so any that in steam store have it state that it requires to connect to a 3rd party client.. Uplay or Origin or Bethesda or whoever i dont buy on steam or anywhere except where it is needed. This then cuts out lagg, game lockups and disconnections/crash's. Since if 1 part of teh connection hiccups you tend to lose game connectivity.

Only in YOUR experience, you are not ME so do not tell me what happens when I use the internet.
Typical know it all.

Steam players use a bethesda.net account as well. All they need to migrate is atoms and subscriptions. Everyone uses a bethesda.net account and this will remain so even after the launcher is gone.
