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?

How do they know that I'm dead? Have they attended my funeral?

Yes, Gaben personally goes to every funeral and tells your beloved ones "Hello, I'm Gabe Newell and this was one of our best costumers"

In that case I won't be complaining that my family can't keep my account with all the hentai games

Gotta find someone worthy of inhereting your exquisite library

It doesn't matter. You can't do it if you're alive, either.

Yes you can, you many not be allowed to, but you absolutely can.

No, you can't transfer your account to someone else. You can give someone else your password, but that doesn't make them the official owner.
