Who's notifying Valve someone with an account has died? Link the dead person's account to a steam family and enjoy the inheritance.
If you will a steam account to someone, there is a chance that there are disputes/claims for the account that need to be settled in court.

Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.
digital goods are more like a service at this point. not really property

But I was already planning on leaving mine to my son.
Guess he just gets my username and password.
Note to self, turn off 2fa before I die
I left the 2fa on! Too la
Can you be in the steam family group with a dead person?
Yea but you need the owner account to authorize the computer. So next time you upgrade or wipe your gaming rig you'd be screwed unless you find a bypass and if you're working that hard, just have the password+mfa

Sucks for your kids
Do they check? Or can i just give my password to my homie in a letter
"Dear homie,
if you are reading this, it means that i'm on the long path to meet with master Kaio to train my ass off to death in the afterlife. Until we meet again, this is my user and pass of my steam account.
PS: i didn't bought the porno VR games. Someone gifted them to me.
Your bro in eternity,
Siegfried"
Bro, but what about the credit card receipt for porno VR games, signed by Siegfried? What about the warranty card for the porno VR games, filled out by Siegfried? What about the book "Porno VR Games and Me (This Sort of Thing is my Bag, Baby!)" by Siegfried?
You just keep the wishlist private and zero it out. You got the answers to those questions. That's private info your bro rusted you to die with.
Bro, a real bro doesn't ask these questions.
Yeah, bro. Bro is wanking in the afterlife now
Master Kaio is not happy about it, but he is not surprised either.

Does this apply to developer accounts? Because if so this would be dumb as fuck.
Does steamworks not have a notion of a parent organization or enterprise? That’s what most other design and development tools do.
If someone leaves, the parent enterprise remains, and new people can be added to the enterprise and can be granted rights over the content.
I'd argue that it's dumb as fuck either way.

This is annoying as we buy everything under my wifes account and we hook up mine with family sharing.
Same but under mine, we are starting to split who buys a bit more now since our kids want to play different games at the same time. Time to start spreading them across 4 accounts soon
