Ok, I saw this conversation on one of the Kotaku articles. Really got me thinking. Who gets your digital (and physical) gaming collection when you "game over" one day?
What would the kids see?
Will they see daddy never finished Wolfenstein?
Will they see Mommy played Blanka in Street Fighter?
Will they discover a shamefull amount of Visual novels?
Dying words: "Son... you must take my spaceship and exlore the sky... promise me!"
Or "My daugther... train hard. You must defeat XXxxXXHaxL0rd69XXxxXX for the honour of my clan!"

At this point, my steam account is worth more money than my car. My son is looking forward to getting it in the will. You’re not helping Grayson.

Tell your son I said, “You’re welcome.”
Or find a way to live forever to spite him. Your call!

Wow, that actually makes me wonder if that can be a real thing. Not that I have children or feel like dying anytime soon, but hey, if I had thousands of dollars worth of steam games on my account and WAS about to die and had children I would like my collection to be passed on.
I wonder if Steam would accommodate that... eh.. probably not.

“Clearing The Backlog” could become your family’s heritage. Each generation a new kid tries their best to play through the games, but at the same time adds games they never got around to playing themselves. Legend tells that in the future there will be a Chosen One - a child of endless time and energy. Until that time comes, you and your descendants will try their best to hold back the growth of the Backlog.
What do you leave behind? Or is your steam account set to self-destruct?
