Have ESO from Steam, could someone else in the family play using this with their own ESO account?

Wondering if I can install the game on my other pc and have a family member play on that pc using a new ESO account. I have been told it wont work since the Steam key for my game is already associated with my ESO account. Is that the case?

Will I need to buy another ESO game on a new steam account on that PC in order to allow a family member to play alongside me?

Hoping to use my steam account on both pcs using the same game key, just different ESO acoount. Save some money that way.

Hello,

Afaik family share wont work because each eso client comes with and unique ID that is tied to your steam account.

You can play your steam version on different pcs with your steam account but no family share posible afaik.

So if you want your family members to tag along you will need to get another copy of the game.
That's the case for most mmos that aren't f2p anyway.

And even family share works only as long you not using your steam account otherwise the people you share with get kicked when you log to your account.

That is what I figured. I usually dont play MMOs anymore but just started up on this. I played some older MMOs a long time ago before Steam ever had any.

I do know that you can play one player games on steam on 2 pcs using the same account as long as the other pcs are offline. We used to play Left For Dead 2 that way. You can play on your LAN using the other PCs in the offline mode on Steam. At least that used to work. I dont know about now.

ESO is a really well done game and very well polished. I dont mind shelling out another $30 now if my other family members want to play it with me. I set up another Steam account last night. Just trying to save a few buck though and thought I would check on here. Thanks for the reply.
