Lol and what's stopping me from just giving them my account info
Absolutely nothing... This article literally just says that somebody on an internet forum pointed out that what might happen is that if your account has been around longer than the average lifespan then they'll investigate and maybe terminate it after determining it's no longer owned by the original account owner. Valve today doesn't have the support capacity to perform this kind of investigation. Valve in 50-60 years will be an entirely different beast. This speculation means nothing.
Your Steam games will go to the grave with you
Just like my porn!
Just don't tell them lol. My friend in school gave me his steam account that had some games on it that I had no money for and he wasn't using it anymore. Still my main steam account 8 years later.
On one hand, that's shitty.
On the other hand, I cant imagine anyone in my family gives a shit about my games.
Damn, I guess I am living forever now.
And to my treasured grandson, I leave my steam account details written on an old napkin.
Sucks for your kids
