MODERATORS
An outlier case, which doesn't justify changing the setup and introducing even bigger issues/abuses to solve.
If accounts allowed transfers, I'd personally have no issue with doing something like:
That sort of abuse would be far more common, than the outlier case you've listed for a young parent passing down games to a kid that's fairly close in age.
Facebook requires a public obituary before an account is put into the RIP mode.
I can just imagine the public obituaries including peoples steam gamer tags in order to meet this requirement. Rest in peace 69TIGOLBITTIESLOVER69.
And/or the outrage as Steam starts doing Know-Your-Customer compliance things, requesting gamers submit ID so that the public obituaries can be matched to their accounts.
