If you cannot pass on your ownership rights to your purchased games to your children, then you cannot pass on your copyright either, I guess?

What's a steam account and why would i want one?

It's the biggest video game marketplace/launcher/DRM makers for PC. If you play video games on PC most games you buy would probably have to be through steam. Their parent company, Valve, is the only multi-billion dollar company I like because so far they have stayed pro-consumer.

😂 this platform continues to make me laugh. Everybody worships steam but somehow all other businesses are bad.

Lol yep. They used to think the same way about Elon musk until he bought Twitter and started speaking his mind. Same with the orange man. They all loved him and then one day the software update went out and it was instant hate.
