I’ve legit thought about this a lot. I’d like someone to be able to take over my Steam account given I have over a thousand purchased games on there.
I like how every gamer has a Steam library full of games they’ll never play, but thinks that someone else might want to play them some day. It’s like the modern day equivalent of a grandparent’s attic.
I mean, my brother and I use Steam Family Sharing to access each others’ games. It’s a really generous policy nowadays. And if one of us died, I can see how being able to pass those games on to the other would be nice.
You’re not wrong, but at the same time, there’s that chance. I like older games, I would have been grateful to get a library like mine, lol, maybe someone else will.
Exactly. It is personal property and must be treated as such.
I’m planning to put my Steam account details in the same envelope as my will and bequeath it to my kids lol. Generational games library
Just don’t tell Valve about it.

This is why I always check to see if a game is listed on GoG before buying on steam. Even if it costs 15% more, it still feels worth it.
Yep that’s why I said planning to
;). There’s no practical way they can tell I’m dead, assuming people don’t try to change the credit card on file or address or anything like that. Worst case scenario it’s not that big a deal anyway. Even if they only get to play for like 6 months that’s still pretty good in my books.Things are in a funny state huh? I wonder what the economic impact of so much digital value disappearing into the void will be… Normally you can pass on stuff like DVD collections and other assets, but increasingly we seem to own nothing and assets die with us.
Make sure you erase your sim save files before death

I’ve never met a human being that didn’t collect things they’ll never use, and yet everyone judges other people’s collections, lol.

My bad, I should have just said, “suck my dick and balls you destitute faggot.”

You should be able to sell all your purchases.
If only there was a worthy heir to inherit my pornhub subscription
The curse of being so busy building a legacy worth passing on that you never took time to have someone to pass it on to?
It’s not too late to start a box.
Kinda ballar ngl
So I mean for most accounts I’m aware of you could just give someone your login credentials and you can practically change ownership (name, contact info, etc.)from the account.
Is this a bigger deal in China as accounts are tied to some form of ID?
valve is pretty famous for not allowing this in steam. I mean you “can” do this but i am pretty sure it goes against their TOS. AFAIK they are even pretty explicit that if you die your game licenses become invalid
My kid can still play my tabletop Catan game after I die.
It’s almost like buying things means you own them.
another reason why the US wants people to hate china
Are your people so poor you’ve turned video game accounts into savings?
Your breath smells like cock, man. Please brush.
Calm down we both know you like the smell.
