It is always hard to deal with the topic of death, because in some cases it comes unexpectedly, either due to a physical accident or simply due to an unexpected way of behavior of the human body, and in the case that those who leave for more natural and “common”, they normally prepare a paper to leave their belongings to those close to them. With that in mind, there are people within the gaming world who have analyzed this and wondered if it is possible to somehow inherit Steam’s digital game collection.
Through the forums of the platform Valve, a user has asked if there is a way to inherit the games acquired from trusted people, leaving the password for them to transfer them, including extras such as DLC and more additional payments. However, the company has answered him directly, and it was a resounding “no”, which is somewhat logical for those who have ever analyzed the situation.

Here is the description of Steam:
Steam is a digital video game distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation. Originally launched in 2003 as a means to distribute and update your own games, Steam has expanded to become one of the largest digital video game distribution platforms in the world.
Steam has transformed the video game industry by providing a centralized platform for digital distribution, making it easy for both large and independent developers to reach a global audience.
As already seen in the post, at the moment there is no way to transfer games to other users in case of death on any day, so the user will have to think of another alternative that may be easy to find. Well, the players comment that the username and password can be added to the will so that the heir can use it as best suits him, only that the means of payment must be eliminated and replaced with data of the current owner, in addition to changing the name. of player.

Author’s note: Nobody is thinking about leaving this world soon, but it could be good that there is the possibility of inheriting video games. However, there is always the option of leaving the account keys and that’s it, there will be access to the titles that the previous owner had.
