    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.

        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.

      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?

    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
