@arstechnica I'm kind of okay with this. Steam sales are common and deep enough that we get our money's worth out of the games. Passing our games onto somebody else is not really an issue to me.
That said, when I pass, I plan to leave my wife my password manager's master password. So if she wants to continue playing my games, she can. The idea of passing down a digital library for 10 generations or something doesn't seem plausible.
