The Steam accounts are personal and non-transferable and this is a rule that Valve maintains in practically any situation, even in the event that a user decides to inherit the help with video games acquired, since it could not be transferred through a will either.
The video game developer and owner of the Steam platform has some guidelines on the use of the accounts that are part of this service, which detail that it is a personal account and, therefore, is non-transferable.
In this framework, a user has asked the company led by Gabe Newell if a Steam account could be transferred to another person through a willas an exceptional reason for another person to use it and access the games purchased.
However, when faced with this question, Valve has stood firm regarding its guidelines, claiming that It is not possible for another user to use the account even if it is inherited because it is a non-transferable service.
This has been shared by the user in question, identified as delete12345, through a publication in the ResetEra forumin which he has shown the response received from the American company, adding that, based on this, the Users will only be able to take the games “to the grave.”
Specifically, Valve has communicated that Steam accounts and games continue to be non-transferable even in the specific case raised. Furthermore, he has clarified that the Steam support “cannot provide another person with access to the account“, as well as You also cannot merge access. “I regret to inform you that your Steam account cannot be transferred through a will,” Valve stated in its response.
On the other hand, some players have stated that, since accounts cannot be transferred by will, One possibility would be to leave the access credentials to the Steam accountthat is, the ID and password, for the person to whom you want to leave the account as an inheritance.
In this case, it must be taken into account that the steam subscription agreement details that the Users must not “disclose, share, or otherwise allow” that other people use your password or account, “except if expressly authorized by Valve.” In fact, the developer also alleges that, in the event that this information is revealed “deliberately or through negligence”, the user would be “violating this confidentiality provision.”
Therefore, the option to share login keys as a method to transfer the account and video games to other users It would not be contemplated in the legal margins either. of the agreement Steam subscription.
