It still makes me uneasy that my hundreds of Steam games can’t be passed on when I die, at least not without violating the EULA

As a teenager, I really enjoyed the game Shoot Many Robots. It wasn’t amazing, but it was a lot of dumb fun, and the memories I have playing it matter to me. Something Shoot Many Robots and I have in common is that we are both mortal, but while I am mere flesh and bone and Shoot Many Robots was delisted from Steam at the request of the publisher, it and all the other delisted games I own can experience a sort of immortality in my Steam library.

When I’m dust, the number of Steam accounts with access to Shoot Many Robots will not change, but the number of people who can play the game above board will, because bequeathing a Steam account in a will is technically a form of account sharing and against the terms of service.
