Doing the rounds right now is a post from Valve's Steam support, when a user asked about what would happen to their Steam account when they died and it's not great news for anyone hoping to pass on your Steam account.
Nah, you can already sell accounts and they do nothing, this is just the support saying that they cannot give your data to others, this is to please two kinds of people, the privacy guys and the people selling on steam. They however do not enforce. Also its questionable if this sentiment holds up in court, there have for example been cases in Germany where Facebook was forced to give access to the parents of a deceased, so questionable.

The matter is the reasoning behind it. And as i said courts would have to decide.
And yes them not enforcing this basically means its just to appeal to the publishers, they probably couldn’t care less themselves.
