I like how every gamer has a Steam library full of games they'll never play, but thinks that someone else might want to play them some day. It's like the modern day equivalent of a grandparent's attic.

I mean, my brother and I use Steam Family Sharing to access each others’ games. It’s a really generous policy nowadays. And if one of us died, I can see how being able to pass those games on to the other would be nice.

You're not wrong, but at the same time, there's that chance. I like older games, I would have been grateful to get a library like mine, lol, maybe someone else will.
