Yep that’s why I said planning to ;). There’s no practical way they can tell I’m dead, assuming people don’t try to change the credit card on file or address or anything like that. Worst case scenario it’s not that big a deal anyway. Even if they only get to play for like 6 months that’s still pretty good in my books.
Things are in a funny state huh? I wonder what the economic impact of so much digital value disappearing into the void will be… Normally you can pass on stuff like DVD collections and other assets, but increasingly we seem to own nothing and assets die with us.
The credit card company is going to cancel your card once it finds out. They have access to your Social Sec I’d and credit score. They’ll know once your taxes are filed, if not sooner.
No, the credit card would get cancelled. Then if anyone wanted to buy anything else on the account, would have to put their own on it, which has their name.
I guess if no one did that, it might be overlooked. Maybe. Honestly, who knows with how much info mega companies have managed to collect on everyone and distribute to anyone willing to pay.
I’m planning to put my Steam account details in the same envelope as my will and bequeath it to my kids lol. Generational games library
Just don’t tell Valve about it.

This is why I always check to see if a game is listed on GoG before buying on steam. Even if it costs 15% more, it still feels worth it.

theyre not going to check shit.
Yeah that makes sense. But would they send a letter to Valve or something?
