Nahh dude has a bigger years of service then steam’s age
This screenshot is from 100 years in the future.
Mind asking your future connection to fire up Stanley Parable for me?
Let’s see what fuckery they baked in.
Some day…
They’ll fire it up mere moments before you finally get the Go Oustide achievement.
WHY DIDN’T THIS FUCKER WARN US ABOUT 9/11
If you look very closely, you can see its Photoshop!
It was a joke it’s clearly photoshop
Can you tell from some of the pixels?
Another example of a company making clear that we don’t truly own the games we play on their platform.
The solution is GOG (their business model).
You get the individual keys, no DRM.
The family sharing works okay but the old school way is good too.
In Australia we don’t have family sharing for some stupid reason
I think they said you can’t transfer the license between accounts, but they never said anything about turning over the account
I think the TOS include that you are not allow to tell your login credentials to anyone?
Sssssshhhhhh steam doesn’t need to know
Your children can inherit your GOG library. Buy DRM free!
Or just pirate lmao
This policy is literally against the law in the EU… Wait… double checks notes In the… US? huh… normally it’s the European Union protecting us from big tech bullshit
I got three kids, I wrote down my steam login in all their baby books page 1.
I hope the password is kid friendly

That’s how we’re still using my Dad’s account, it’s mostly used by my brother, but shared with the other gamers in the family
I’ll never have kids.
My niece though will have a thorough education on sailing the high seas when she’s old enough to choose media on her own.
Where did they say this?
In response to a customer support message. https://www.resetera.com/threads/to-anyone-who-is-curious-no-you-cannot-transfer-your-steam-account-via-a-will-you-can-only-take-your-games-to-your-graves.875634/
I think this is more of a defence against scammers honestly, with a convincing enough scam you could make valve belive an account holder was dead and you’re a family member wanting to transfer their account to yours.
Hell, I saw my dead friend’s account message me in Russian, contacted support about it, and all they could do was remove the hacker’s access, not even lock or delete that account.
And how could they? Unless you have your full name, address, and other identifying information somewhere on your account (strongly ill-advised, obviously) Valve can’t cross check it with a death certificate and take action, for all they know you could be cooperating with the hacker or submitting fake information to “prank” your friend by getting their account removed.
Allowing account transfers would open a whole new can of worms.
Just write down the password and login if you know you’re going to go. I don’t think Valve under Gabe would have issues with that. Though I do worry for its future

Such is the freedom of capitalism
