Doing the rounds right now is a post from Valve's Steam support, when a user asked about what would happen to their Steam account when they died and it's not great news for anyone hoping to pass on your Steam account.
You can literally just download copies of all your games and give them the installers, even if it’s in the TOS, there’s nothing stopping you from bequeathing them via a drive practically speaking.
The difference is that with GOG once you buy something, you can download it and have it forever, with nothing short of extremely drastic measures that the company can do to remove your access. With steam, all they have to do is just disable your account, and you lose everything.

Its the same with password sharing on steam. Doesn’t mean its not against ToS
