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 think they said you can't transfer the license between accounts, but they never said anything about turning over the account
Transferring your account to another person is against the TOS of most services.
Only if they catch me ;)
I mean, it's still against it. But I can't see how they'd enforce it, unless valve starts demanding IDs. I'm afraid for a post-gaben era where Valve might just do that...
I think the TOS include that you are not allow to tell your login credentials to anyone?
Good luck to anyone trying to enforce that lol
After 60 years they cut off your account ... Why 60 ? Just because they need to find a way to screw people that still comply to the rules ....
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...
WHY DIDN'T THIS FUCKER WARN US ABOUT 9/11
25 years ago, 9/11 wasn't a big deal.
WHY DIDN'T THIS FUCKER REMIND US ABOUT 9/11
I got three kids, I wrote down my steam login in all their baby books page 1.
I hope the password is kid friendly

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.
A couple of years ago my gog exceeded my steam library. Pretty good considering I have around 500 on steam.
.... But wait till you find out how many of those I've actually played... 🙃😓😢
That won't work for long. With the way things are going, we may get expiring accounts after 100 years from your date of birth you registered with.
That's not gonna stick, steam can't remember birthdays. And I'm pretty sure everyone told it multiple times we were born January 1 1901
Yeah my kids basically took over my steam account already on the family gaming computer. Alas.
Your gaming alias now is a generational family name. All hail the House of Sparkles.
The family sharing works okay but the old school way is good too.
I think they might start getting suspicious when the account age is double the average human lifespan and is still in use.
Not true as I've often been born on January 1st in the early 1900's.
but by that point, whoever the inheritors of the account were have probably been paying money and adding new games to it for decades. why would valve destroy their relationship with that customer just because they might still technically have access to some hundred year old games that either don't even run on modern systems, or might even be public domain by that point?
Assuming valve still exists at that point.
In Australia we don't have family sharing for some stupid reason
I dunno if it's "family sharing" or some other thing, but I can play games from my sister's library through some means that I set up a couple of years ago.
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
GOG being the absolute BOSS; u will be able to leave your library as your legacy for future generations.
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.
password managers work too
Such is the freedom of capitalism
