Valve reminds Steam users they don't actually own a darn thing they buy, GOG pounces and says its games "cannot be taken away from you" thanks to offline installers

GOG previously said it wants "to ensure your gaming legacy is always in your hands"

I guess it’s just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

    What happens to a steam account when someone dies? Its not like Steam does a lookup against a deaths register.

    If the password is handed on, is the account auto deleted after 120 years?

    If someone dies at 20 does the account live on for another 100 years?

    I get the legality aspect, but how is this handled in practice?
