Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.
Disclaimer this was a joke I’m not a lawyer and I have no idea if this would actually work… 😆
If steam did allow transfers this way, I can imagine it being a new type scam where people fabricate death documents to steal steam accounts.
I really feel like this won’t/can’t be enforced.
Less about enforcement than ease of transfer. If I’ve got a Steam account and you’ve got a Steam account and I die, Steam won’t let you transfer the licenses from my account to yours. You just have to maintain two independent accounts now - accounts with 2-factor authentication that you also have to maintain (so second cell numbers and emails, etc).
Steam will simply let the administrative burden of juggling extra accounts take these licenses out of the pool.
So you can inherit a house, but not a freakin’ game… is that even legal?
