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.

They can. I buy and gift games to my son all the time.

Gifting is not the same as transferring an already bought game to another account. Can you do that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It the same mechanism. They can do it, they just don't want to.
