Steam link to existing account.

Theres no way to link my existing account to steam?

Hi.
You will not be able to use your existing account to log into World of Tanks via Steam. Initially, we never assumed that access to our game could be multi-platform and, to our great regret, we will not be able to provide access to existing accounts via Steam.
Maybe this will be possible in future updates, but there is no 100% guarantee.

Well RIP for this game for the time being then... thats a shame.

You are not alone who upset by this situation.
I can suggest that you continue to play through WGC with old account and just wait and believe that synchronization will be added in future.

I uninstalled it when I saw it was coming to steam xD

Well will it be added in the future? You have seen the feedback now, literally everywhere, flooding even in reviews which may not be fair, but still.. I hope you add it in the future.

I'm going to go ahead and say that I WANT to keep my account separate for one reason: you effectively double your (default) garage space by effectively having two accounts!

Hm well my problem is that when I try to launch the game, I get the message that my steam ACC is already linked to an account, so i can't use this launcher to launch the game... So i can't even launch it through steam?

Hi.
To start you need to unlink your steam account. After starting the game a new account will be created. This is because old accounts cannot be used to play in steam.

It's is absolutely ridiculous that they didn't 'figure' this out before releasing on steam. Their horrible reviews are well deserved and the fact that you are not able to log in your old account via Steam is a total disregard for customers. Nothing new here.... If they 'wanted' to figure it out, they 100% could have as a business. Instead, they went the other direction, which they've done time and again. I really hope this company gets what's coming to them.

World of Warships and WoT Blitz dislikes the answer

I just downloaded WOT and its asking me to create new acc wtf. Why its not possible to use my old account from 2012 on steam. Add option to use old account FFS

You can still use "Add a game" option in lower left corner and then add WoT as non-Steam game into yr library. That way technically, you can play WoT via Steam on yr old account.

True, and for now it's probably the best way to do it. Pretty lame that you can't just change the start logic to make use of a normal login page. Look you got it setup fine with your other games

Why waste resources gobbling up 5% of your cpu to run two launchers? This is bad and lazy and throwing away performance. You do this, Run some AV software and maybe Discord and Windows 11 and you got a fairly bloated pc already without multiple launchers.
