My kids get first dibs on whatever they want of mine. My youngest daughter has already got her dibs on my pinball machine and keeps telling me she needs it NOW, though she doesn't have her own place yet. Yeah right....
Kinda morbid... Kids are cute!

200 years from now, everyone will have died on Steam and there will be a lot of ghost accounts.

200 years from there will be no Steam. History might remember that it existed, but not in a whole lot of detail.

Steam Policy allows to transfer Steam Accounts to a family member, after your death. So, contact Steam Support or simply give away your credentials to a family member.

I intend to get cryogenically frozen, then sometime in the future (when they can make me young again) get thawed out, and carry on my gaming liked I'd never been away!

Let's see if Humanity even exists 200 years from now.

Personal experience: I had a friend, he was like a brother, we had good moments together and we played some Steam titles. He was a streamer, but he had depression issues, one day he was gone and everyone was sorrowing for him, but he had no children to carry up his Steam, neither relatives interested in use it, also I believe they do not even own the password to gain access to it.

When my little brother died they only required a death certificate to establish that the account holder was deceased. From there they had no problem giving access to the account to a family member provided that they can prove that they are a family member, as well present the account info for it such as payment on the account.

However they would very much like a will that clearly defines who the account is to transfer.
From there they simply turned control over to a family member. To be honest I expected them to just shut it down, but the support staff was surprisingly nice about the whole affair. A friend of mine also got an account transferred to him after a family death just by presenting them information on the death cert. and established family connection. In that case they simply allowed it which they can do if they choose to.

There was also another circumstance where a father has passed and transferred his steam account to his son in his will. His reasoning was that he wanted his son to enjoy the same games that he got to enjoy to remember him by. As long as the individual that is requesting the information doesn’t act like a fool, and provides the required documentation Valve is pretty reasonable about it.

Basically it’s completely at Valve’s discretion on what to do with the account. In such a case simply ask what they are willing to do in the circumstance and provide the answers to their questions. While the terms of service do state that accounts are non transferable, it also states that Valve withholds the right to make determinations on such circumstances on a case by case basis.

You should will it to one of your offspring. Mind you, by the time you die, steam might not exist or been taken over. Infact gaming would of moved forward from what we have now.

They should give us the option to delete accounts permanently after 10+ years of inactivity so they know you’re not sharing it with anyone.

That doesn't make any sense though.

For a start, you can't delete accounts because there's issues with it. Valve did it in the past with people who were admant they wanted to delete games/accounts. Then they changed their mind, and Valve are obliged to reutnr it (otherwise it may be construed as theft).

So it isn't worht the hassle them doing that, regalrdess of the reason.

No, better it lay dormant. As for sharing it with anyone, you are allowed to do so with next of kin. So that would render the point utterly moot.

You already can. The option is available via the account details somewhere. Just takes a 30 day cool-off period within you can cancel the process, a final confirmation to support and violá, your account is gone.

This is good to know, my father just died so.. might memorialize his account. I don't entirely know what we're going to do with it yet.

My kids excited. The second I die they will be contacting Steam for ownership.

That’s not what I meant. When you’re inactive for 10+ years, your account gets deleted automatically so Steam should give you that option with ToC stating that they won’t undo it. Of course, they would send them an email 6 months prior to remind them like Yahoo mail does by sending you one to your hotmail/gmail etc account.

It is useful to clean out all the inactive accounts where owners could be dead, jailed or moved on from PC games.
