    Ah yes, bribe gamers to forget about the cultural genocide, the abductions for organ harvesting, the international kidnappings and the general funding of censorship and rewriting their own goddamn murder sprees.

    I've legit thought about this a lot. I'd like someone to be able to take over my Steam account given I have over a thousand purchased games on there.

    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've never met a human being that didn't collect things they'll never use, and yet everyone judges other people's collections, lol.

    You should be able to sell all your purchases.

    Every digital storefront will do an update that will “unfortunately” be incompatible with the legacy media every 10-20 years.

    Steam could, but it would be an extremely dangerous decision. One of their biggest competitive advantages is they they break users out of the console generation gaps.

    Why buying a Steam Deck with all my old games (to say nothing of emulators) was more appealing than a Switch 2.

    It’s only a matter of time until consoles make the jump from x86 to ARM. They will kill off the PS4-PS5 generations.

    x86 is too inefficient. ARM CPUs match x86 system performance while using a fraction of the energy. This will give future consoles a chance to use a larger GPU.

    Edit - that might be the reason why they’re going all digital for PS6. PS6 should run x86 code natively. Maybe PS7 will use an ARM cpu which will not be able to play any PS6 games natively but they will have a streaming service for the older consoles.

    We can already run x86 code on ARM, that wont be a viable backwards compatibility excuse for next gen consoles. Xbox and Playstation may try to claim it is a reason, but it will be clear cut bull shit from the start.

    It's almost like buying things means you own them.

    So I mean for most accounts I'm aware of you could just give someone your login credentials and you can practically change ownership (name, contact info, etc.)from the account.

    Is this a bigger deal in China as accounts are tied to some form of ID?

    Hopefully, I will someday be able to donate my library to a...library. While most of my catalog probably won't interest people, there is still a small chance of passing down my culture to future generations.

    A good start. We need a lot more of this.

    An important one is passing on digital goods after the death of the store.

    Maybe I want to pass a game to somebody else without me needing to die first?

    Hell, why not even pass a game from my account on PSN to my Steam account or vice versa?

    With legislation, much of this becomes reality. None of it is technically impossible. it's just nobody wants to do it. Publishers don't really care where you buy a game, they still got paid. The stores want to be the arbiters of all.

    Are your people so poor you've turned video game accounts into savings?
