This is a copy-paste from my post on the new forums, but I see there are not much people on those:

Hey Everyone.
So steam has this 50% off bundle, and I want to buy it, it would be my firsst time buying, I have only a couple of alpha accounts, but none of them is linked to my steam account (I tried to create one from steam and couldn't). So I wish to know how does the steam bundle buying works, and if I can buy it for a specific account that is linked to the same e-mail that my steam account.

PLEASEEE the sale ends July 5th!

EDIT: I could create an account through steam now, does that mean that if I buy the bundle it will be for that specific account?

Those 50% bundles are for NEW accounts (yes, Steam accounts), not for existing accounts. I've seen similar discounts offered in the past, from Amazon or even from CCP directly, and they are always to make you create new accounts.

The deals are decent, 500+ PLEX is worth $20, and multiple character training is worth another $20, plus the 1 month subscription is $15, so yea. Basically, the equivalent of about 3 months of Omega time for $25. But you can't apply them to your existing account, all these discounts are to convince new players to join the game / start new accounts.

So, if you really need PLEX or to train 2 alts at the same time, go for a new Steam account and get the discounted EVE Premium edition. Otherwise, if you don't really need that stuff, you can wait for CCP to offer PLEX discounts, or subscription discounts; they do this every now and then. Or just go with the 6-month or 1-year subscription plan, that comes to 3 months of Omega for $30, very close to the "discount" really.

Ok so I made the account of steam, if I buy the pack now, that account will get it then, right?

Thanks for your answer btw
