Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.
I kind of want one anyway. Is there a real reason I shouldn't do this?
Personal use of business assets is generally frowned upon by the IRS.
As others have pointed out - costs a few bucks annually,and requires beneficial ownership report (free IIRC).
Otherwise, it’s a tried and true tactic to pass businesses down through generations. An LLC vs. a corp vs a trust is a convo to have w/ lawyer barred in your state but the general premise is vaguely sane.
Disclaimer this was a joke I'm not a lawyer and I have no idea if this would actually work... 😆
Would be hilarious if it actually does and everyone starts doing it…
I am now curious how and if Steam bothers to deal with business licensing? If they do, it's probably way pricier than what you're normally paying.
Just don't tell them lol. My friend in school gave me his steam account that had some games on it that I had no money for and he wasn't using it anymore. Still my main steam account 8 years later.
All I have to do is leave the username and password to my steam account and email address to someone else in my will. 🤦♂️
Shhh take your sensible nonsense somewhere else, we want outrage and shitting on everything here
Having a workaround doesn't mean there's no problem
Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?
So that’s why Betty White died at 99, they were going to take her games away!
Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?
If Valve actually counted how old my account is, they'd stop asking me how old I am for mature games.
Valve can’t count to 3
It's unlikely that would survive a lawsuit. If they claim the games have value, as evidenced by then having a price, then that value can be transferred.
