Saw a article on a large number of gamers being over 55 and then I saw this which I believe needs to be addressed in our current laws.

    We had my Dad’s password info and after he passed, his Steam acct pretty much passed over to my brother, since he was the one always using my Dad’s account anyways. We also have family sharing up, so we all still get to share from most of his games anyways.

    I do wonder what they’ll do after an acct is 50-100+ years old and it’s still being used. Will they at some point start tying it to your SS# or find some other way to tie it to specific people?

      Yeah… I’m not as optimistic as you are about the lifespan of Steam and how long there will be people using this platform, let alone how long there will be people period. I don’t see this being an issue.

      Edited to add: sorry for your loss btw. I’m glad you’re able to share his games, I hope that is a positive thing for you.
