I'm pretty sure I'm done with Steam gaming, haven't launched a game in almost a year, and generally want to move away from DRM.
So I had the idea I could just "give away" my Steam account.

Create a new email address without personal info attached, tie it to the Steam account, remove my payment info from Steam and just post the email and password somewhere (maybe here) for the first lucky person to claim.

Would that be safe, or is it possible to recover the changes I made before and get access to my private info? Or is there a better way to give away my games?

I know accounts aren't transferrable, but what are they gonna do? Ban me after I left their service? Ban the account? That wouldn't be worse than just letting it sit unused.

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.
