The solution is GOG (their business model).

You get the individual keys, no DRM.

I think they said you can't transfer the license between accounts, but they never said anything about turning over the account

Transferring your account to another person is against the TOS of most services.

The family sharing works okay but the old school way is good too.

I think they might start getting suspicious when the account age is double the average human lifespan and is still in use.

Yeah my kids basically took over my steam account already on the family gaming computer. Alas.

Your gaming alias now is a generational family name. All hail the House of Sparkles.

That won't work for long. With the way things are going, we may get expiring accounts after 100 years from your date of birth you registered with.

That's not gonna stick, steam can't remember birthdays. And I'm pretty sure everyone told it multiple times we were born January 1 1901

I would trust steam wouldn't do it but epic and Microsoft will

Why would you trust steam? Valve famously invented lootboxes and tried to do the NFT market thing before NFTs were big. They are the strongest DRM on the market. What makes you think they're not just as greedy?
