I actually went through this situation with multiple companies when my brother died. Not a single one—including Valve, Activision, EA, Microsoft, and others—had any problems transferring ownership of his accounts to the executor of his estate (me). The most onerous one I had to deal with was Microsoft, where I had to scan and send in a copy of my own ID.
The only thing I actually had trouble securing was his Bitcoin wallet. Which I guess is by design, since crypto is just "currency, but shittier in every way".
e: EA and Blizzard were especially kind. They even offered to merge his accounts into mine. Which I didn't do, since I only wanted to contact his friends that weren't reachable otherwise.
double e: Also he had shit taste in games
Understandable.
I simply plan to not die with an embarrassing Steam library. Skill issue, bro.
What was worst game he paid for?
I bet it was one of those hentai shovelware games.
Edit: wait I was thinking of the eShop not Steam.
I haven't used Steam in years, and I used to play in pre-1.6 days, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were hentai games.
