A very interesting issue has just been raised by Polygon magazine. That is, if one day, a gamer unfortunately passes away, can his (or her) Steam account be considered an inheritance for relatives?
After considering many different aspects, plus consulting with many lawyers, Polygon's writer concluded: If you accidentally die, you cannot leave your Steam account to anyone.
Technically, an ordinary gamer can transfer his account to absolutely anyone. Just change the login information as well as 2-layer security. However, legally, this is illegal.
Based on the contractual terms that you agreed to with Steam when creating an account, users are not allowed to buy, sell, transfer (including give, receive, inherit) digital accounts (of Steam) to anyone. anyone. Thus, transferring the account to another person (even the heir when the gamer dies) is not legal. Steam will not provide support if any legal issues arise.
In fact, Steam is not the only one that applies this policy, other digital game stores from Sony, Microsoft, Epic or Nintendo all do the same. You absolutely cannot use a digital game store account as a type of inheritance.
In fact, there are many Steam accounts that are highly valued, up to hundreds of thousands of dollars (including purchased games and accompanying digital assets). However, gamers can only use it independently as a means of entertainment. Transfer, purchase, and transfer are all illegal.
