I have hundreds of games on Steam, what should I do? Buy them again? Valve needs to be sued t smithereens to let people sell or gift the game they paid for.

I don't know why you got downvoted. This is a legitimate point in this discussion. You've sunk hundreds or thousands of $currency into DRM-ed content that you then get locked out of. What's the recourse?

Some of those games can be "connected": https://www.gog.com/connect https://www.gog.com/connect >Valve needs to be sued t smithereens to let people sell or gift the game they paid for. 1. We should first checkout why he was banned. 2. Did he tried to click the exe without starting up steam? 3. If your are logged out of your DRM system...for sure you cannot use any DRM protected stuff...is that different with let's say Xbox/Netflix? Is it good..no, did i said exactly that, in the year 2k...YES!

  His story being true or not is besides the point, I just asked Valve support if I could bequeath my account to someone when I die and their response was no[0]. This is not right. The fight is starting in France[1].

    If this is a concern, leave your family instructions how to change the name and the email address on the account. I’ve seen several of my Steam friends transfer their libraries to their children this way (while living.)
