But I was already planning on leaving mine to my son.
Guess he just gets my username and password.
Note to self, turn off 2fa before I die
I left the 2fa on! Too la
Soon they’ll clarify their philosophical stance on identity & claim a person changes so much from moment to moment that yesterday-you doesn’t exist anymore, & therefore must pay again
Somewhere there is a hyper capitalist parallel Universum where buddhism is the mainstream western religion and this stance is enforced rigorously.
I just started Talos Principle the other day and this reads like something that computer that keeps arguing with me about personhood would say
At some point, Gabe is going to sell the company and/or die. The company will be transferred to a hedge fund. And then you’ll see a bunch of evil IT bros come up with increasingly sadistic means of cannibalizing the user base for profit.
Drink the Mountain Dew Verification Can to continue, etc, etc.
Means you don’t own anything then. It is a lost autonomy. Once lost, you will only lose more with time.
Already the case in the US when it comes to media licensing unfortunately. We only own a temporary, restricted, personal license, regardless of the medium.
Criminals can claim a lot of things but that is not democracy which requires citizens which requires autonomy. Anyone stealing individual autonomy is a traitor.
I’m not sure what exactly you think I said?
So is a flat rate life rental rather than a purchase, the nth stuff that is not of your property but a concession…
Wooo… glad I stopped investing into video games about a decade ago. Between that and Ubisoft’s, “DEI” into their video games lol… fk the whack gaming industry.
You don’t have to say dei. You can just say the n-word like we all know you want to
I… don’t care about the race of a character in Assassin’s Creed… lol it’s a fkin video game, bro. As if I’ve never played Final Fantasy with different “species” and skin colors for lack of a better term. Psssst I’m Latino. I have family members who look straight up Black to the typical plebian.
Same which means I know that being latino doesn’t mean you can’t be racist as fuck. Please tell me how you saying “dei” in assassins creed has nothing to do with the black guy being a main character.
So you’re the kind to screech “Racism!” or “Ableism!” as you did in your latest reply to me.
You’re not very good at hiding your insecurities are you? Let me guess, you’re literally none of the demographics you’re defending, just farming karma off of outrage culture. Pathetic.
Following my replies lmao you’re literally pathetic. It doesn’t matter if i do or don’t, you don’t need to be personally effected to be an ally, but I do have black relatives and mentally ill relatives if that makes you feel better
affected*
Clearly expressing yourself isn’t your forte either is it? And the “I have a black friend” card is gross af.
My family is black you ding dong that’s not “having a black friend” that’s having people related to you that are effected. But i guess people like you literally only care about things that personally effect them
And only self inflated idiots care that much about grammar
It’s not because a character is Black. DEI is not just about race.
smh.
Which part of diversity, equity and inclusion are you opposed to? Or do the quotes mean that Ubisoft is doing something nefarious in the name of DEI and I’m out of the loop?
Typical Gamergate crap, most likely.
Sorry, I can’t explain (in detail) why because my comment will be deleted and more than likely banned. Let’s just say that if I was still playing Assassin’s Creed franchise, what Ubisoft has done pretty much would make me stop investing further into the franchise.
I’m not interested getting into it nor defending my opinion, it is what it is.
Why would your comment be deleted and banned? Lol
Proud snowflakes, that’s why.
R U SERIUSSS?!!1 wait a minute, I don’t have a steam account…dag nabbit…
Once again further diluting the meaning of the words “bought” and “sold”
Tough shit. Someone needs to enjoy the games.
And who says you have to notify Valve with what you do to your account?
It’s unlikely that would survive a lawsuit. If they claim the games have value, as evidenced by then having a price, then that value can be transferred.
Not in the US at least, no. Our media ownership rights are non-existent.
Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?
So that’s why Betty White died at 99, they were going to take her games away!
Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?
If Valve actually counted how old my account is, they’d stop asking me how old I am for mature games.
Valve can’t count to 3
I really feel like this won’t/can’t be enforced.
Less about enforcement than ease of transfer. If I’ve got a Steam account and you’ve got a Steam account and I die, Steam won’t let you transfer the licenses from my account to yours. You just have to maintain two independent accounts now - accounts with 2-factor authentication that you also have to maintain (so second cell numbers and emails, etc).
Steam will simply let the administrative burden of juggling extra accounts take these licenses out of the pool.
This. It’s absolutely already enforced. Valve simply will do nothing to enable access to a relative that comes asking and most of the currently existing accounts will just fade into the ether because in most cases relatives aren’t going to be particularly worried about recovering game accounts of all things when somebody passes away.
Just because it is wrong and obviously contradictory to other established precedents doesn’t at this point mean that it won’t be enforced unfortunately.
I get that, but that’s just the vibe Valve has to me.
Valve is a business, they don’t give a shit about vibes, when Valve gets sold off and it will one day (probably sooner than we expect) none of these “vibes” or “culture” are going to matter one single tiny little bit.
That is the point of this whole system, we receive assurances up down left right and in every which direction that entities like Valve won’t be ripped up and destroyed by venture capital, private equity, or whatever the fuck the current grift the 1% has us in… and they are empty promises by design.
A company is not legally defined as the will of its creator/creators, rather the labor and particular genius of a company’s workers is purposefully rationalized into a structure that we are supposed to accept is fundamentally designed to be ripped from our hands brutally because “that is just how the adult world works, shut up and get back to work”.
Justification of unnecessary violence and destruction is one of the primary products of the system.
Damn, I guess I am living forever now.
Did anyone actually think they? Is there anywhere where it is allowed to share your username and password with anyone else in order to use your account, whether you live or not?
this. it’s kinda shitty considering how much people spend on games they “own” but don’t actually have any privileges they had with physical copies, but this is nowhere suprising
All I have to do is leave the username and password to my steam account and email address to someone else in my will. 🤦♂️
Shhh take your sensible nonsense somewhere else, we want outrage and shitting on everything here
Having a workaround doesn’t mean there’s no problem
Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.
Register a religious organisation/church worshipping digital media and proclaim that this account is part of religious rituals of your church. In the United States, freedom of religion is a constitutionally protected right provided in the religion clauses of the First Amendment.
$800/year is a lot to save maybe $1000 worth of games. At least that’s what an LLC costs where I live.
Woah, that’s expensive AF. I think forming an LLC in my state is like $25 and then nothing except tax burdens on revenue.
Almost 10 times less where I live, but not sure because I don’t know which dollars you’re referring to
US dollars. I’m in California, which is probably one of the most expensive states to get an LLC but still. Even at $100/year I’m probably not getting my money’s worth. Digital games don’t hold their value unfortunately.
That’s a lot of effort just to play HuniePop
ya, but as an LLC you get a lot of rights that you didn’t have before!
I kind of want one anyway. Is there a real reason I shouldn’t do this?
You normally pay an annual fee to keep your LLC registered.
Also I think you are required to submit yearly financial reports.
Not in Arizona. You don’t even have to live there, just have to file there.
There’s at least 10 states with no annual fee. Arizona is $50 to file, $0 annual fees, and no annual report to file.
If you’d prefer your company to have voting rights, you can file in Rhode Island, and your company can vote in local and state elections without ever stepping foot in the state. Hooray late stage capitalism 😞
Tldr: Don’t do this unless you have a business that requires a steam account for tax purposes. It doesn’t need to be successful but it does need to be real.
Trusts are probably a better option for this sort of thing than a LLC.
Just do benchmark videos on youtube or something. Then rake in the sweet, sweet business losses.
Disclaimer this was a joke I’m not a lawyer and I have no idea if this would actually work… 😆
Would be hilarious if it actually does and everyone starts doing it…
I am now curious how and if Steam bothers to deal with business licensing? If they do, it’s probably way pricier than what you’re normally paying.
“Your honor, ‘bonerdragon6969420 llc’ has a long and industrious history…”
Personal use of business assets is generally frowned upon by the IRS.
That’s why I’ll only play during work hours.
As others have pointed out - costs a few bucks annually,and requires beneficial ownership report (free IIRC).
Otherwise, it’s a tried and true tactic to pass businesses down through generations. An LLC vs. a corp vs a trust is a convo to have w/ lawyer barred in your state but the general premise is vaguely sane.
