Doing the rounds right now is a post from Valve's Steam support, when a user asked about what would happen to their Steam account when they died and it's not great news for anyone hoping to pass on your Steam account.

Nah, you can already sell accounts and they do nothing

Their policy and what they do is not necessarily the same thing.

there have for example been cases in Germany where Facebook was forced to give access to the parents of a deceased

Giving access to a free account is not the same as giving ownership of thousands of dollars in paid licenses.

The matter is the reasoning behind it. And as i said courts would have to decide.

And yes them not enforcing this basically means its just to appeal to the publishers, they probably couldn’t care less themselves.
