I disagree. They're are a multi billion dollar company that is the defacto/largest distributor, they've got the clout to push for effective change and they've been vocally against the secondary market or transfers, including on death.

Also you said it yourself, they could easily do this for the games they publish and yet here we are.

I do appreciate they keep delisted games around at least.

    If they tried to change the terms, the companies would definitely simply leave.

    Personally, I don't care. I find it weird people want to somehow have an account after death. I just treat it like a library that is there for me and the money saved vs any other way plus the convenience is huge. Its not any different than paying for a round of golf or 10 frames of bowling. Except I can play as many rounds as I want for the same price.

    I watch all the other stores requiring some kind of payment for what valve provides for free. Even less than what valve provides for free.

    I save so much money compared to anywhere else that as long as I die before valve (maybe thats the bigger issue), it is money well spent. My kids dont want my account they have their own.
