MODERATORS
Can't wait until the EU explains to them where their place is.
Also, do people of Lemmy still think Steam is the best company ever?
Even with this they are still in the running for "Least Bad"
Considering that all of the platforms have the "non-transferable" clause in their EULAs... It seems to be an industry issue, not a Steam one.
Yeah, but no one's pretending Epic is good, while the sentiment that Valve is somehow pro-consumer is thrown around a lot.
The bar for big gaming companies is so low that a company that isn't actively trying to gouge its customers is seem as exceptional
This is a reply by a lowly employee completing a support ticket. Just because the circumstances are different, they won't do much asking around and treat it the same as someone asking "can I give my account to my brother".
Both of which is equally horrible. Yes, you should be able to give what you bought to anyone, including your brother and it should automatically transfer to whoever you (or your country's laws) think should get it when you die.
