Was the same for ESO, if you bought it before it made its way to steam you would have to buy it again through steam if you want to play it through steam.
Doesn't mean it isn't scummy. In today's day and age, where you can link every platform with every other platform, they could have integrated their existing account system with Steam and make the game available to people that already own the game.
But there is more money to squeeze out of their playerbase.
I never said I agree with their decision. I only pointed out that Bethesda did the exact same thing with ESO.
