Gabe Newell’s company has been very clear about the matter and the video games will remain in one account
The years go by, the games accumulate in our account Steam and such a collection of masterpieces will remain in the library… until our death? That is the doubt that has gripped a user of the platform. Valvesince he has asked the company directly about this issue.
“I would like to know if I can transfer ownership of my Steam account through a will. I don’t plan to die anytime soon, but when I do, willCould ownership of my Steam account be transferred through a will?“?”, Jody wrote to the customer service of the digital store. The response of a worker is very clear in this regard.
“Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately, Steam accounts and games are non-transferable. Steam Support cannot provide another person with access to the account or merge its content with another account.
I regret to inform you that your Steam account cannot be transferred by will.”
Therefore, as employee Morgan’s message states, there is nothing we can do to give away our favorite video games. Death is the end of our lives, but also means placing bars on our account preventing the transfer. However, nothing prevents us from leaving the username and corresponding password in writing so that whoever we want can access.
All in all, it would not be surprising if Gabe Newell’s company implements a method in the future that allows such a transfer. Of course, it is surprising that not even a will, a legal text that includes the last wishes, is sufficient to carry out the process. It is possible that the digital licensing rights may pose a conflictbut the best thing is that we enjoy each video game in life as much as we can.
