Steam has bad news for anyone who has considered what they'll have done with their digital games and belongings after passing away. A recent conversation with Steam seemingly indicates that trying to give a Steam library to a loved one through a will could face problems.
Many people write wills in order to share their wishes as to what happens to their belongings after their passing. For gamers, this often includes large collections of games, consoles, and peripherals, which can lead to loved ones inheriting game collections. However, digital distribution poses a problem, and Steam is included in that.
A Steam support conversation has been shared on the internet, where a user asked if they could potentially transfer an account in a will. Steam support responded, stating that transferring an account or the games on a Steam account isn't possible, due to the company's policies. While sharing Steam libraries is possible, outright transferring an account via a will isn't, at least at this point in time.
