The confirmation came from the Steam support staff earlier this month when Resetera forum user delete12345 asked Steam support if he can put his Steam library in...

If you cannot pass on your ownership rights to your purchased games to your children, then you cannot pass on your copyright either, I guess?

    I mean… They’re saying they can’t transfer games from one account to another right? But you could just put your account details in your will and anyone could login to your steam account and access your games, right?

    Sure would be nice if they had the feature. But I’m not sure it’s such a big deal.

      This is explicitly against their TOS. Whether or not you’ll be found out is a whole other matter

        I can’t be arsed to read the ToS again, but is it also forbidden to just share an account between several people?

        My brother and I opened up that account six years ago and except for the times I forgot to turn my internet off to not be kicked out of games while my brother plays one we never had problems. It would be really shitty if we got into trouble for this because the account is valued somewhere between 1.500 and 4.300€ and is the most expensive thing I own except for my PC.

        I suppose they would only find out when the account is still in use after 130 years.

        Or if they cared to check payment details and such.
