I’m sick of this stupid fucking talking point. Steam doesn’t own your email address or credentials. They don’t verify ownership or tie someone’s identity to an account. You can just give your fucking credentials away and they won’t know or care. Shut the fuck up about this already.
not only that, but this is also mostly about copyright. steam can't force publishers to just transfer the licenses. this shit must be resolved in law, not on steam's whims.
Well glad you have your death date all planned, you'll never unexpectedly die before that date, have your will and trust set, are having your will and trust legally updated ever time you update your password for all your digital media accounts.
Not all of us do and in lieu of relying on individuals to have this shit set up and hope nothing goes wrong I'll continue to advocate that we need a legal avenue to ensure legally purchased digital goods are able to be passed on after death and no I'm not going to shut the fuck up about but you're more than free to continue to not give fuck.
You only need to pass access to your password manager, which already includes everything. Since you should already have a physical recovery information card printed for your password manager in a drawer somewhere, it would be found anyway.
You really think bitching about it on social media is advocating? What are you actually doing to raise awareness? Ah, I see you just downvoted and didn’t reply. That’s what I thought.
