This screenshot is from 100 years in the future.

If you look very closely, you can see its Photoshop!

And to how many already played games you return to bcs not enough energy to start a brand new game (especially with rich/complex lore).

Yeah.

I look forward to the day when I pass my screen name on to my son...

Not true as I've often been born on January 1st in the early 1900's.

Assuming valve still exists at that point.

but by that point, whoever the inheritors of the account were have probably been paying money and adding new games to it for decades. why would valve destroy their relationship with that customer just because they might still technically have access to some hundred year old games that either don't even run on modern systems, or might even be public domain by that point?

Nah, because while it would be very easy to implement something like that, it would require specifically doing it. Programmers have 3 reasons for writing code

It's cool. It's necessary. I was told to do it in exchange for money

(And the secret fourth reason, it just kinda happened. I was building this related thing and I realized it'd be stupid easy to toss it in...I was in a fugue state and I have no idea what I wrote, but it's some of my best code ever)

Devs don't generally care about this kind of thing, and most of the time neither do the business folk. This kind of unnecessary crackdown only comes up when consultants like McKinney, who I've recently learned are the reason everything sucks

I dunno if it's "family sharing" or some other thing, but I can play games from my sister's library through some means that I set up a couple of years ago.

I would trust steam wouldn't do it but epic and Microsoft will

Only if they catch me ;)

Good luck to anyone trying to enforce that lol
