The problems with owning your account.

This seriously needs to be addressed. I know the UK doesn't have the same free speech laws as the US does, but having it against the rules and illegal for people to not being able to share or sell their accounts is unforgivable.

If someone dies that account is important as it's THEIR MEMORIES!!!!!!! You should be able to pass down your account to someone else. Even if using the F word was allowed here I wouldn't use it as I want to remain as civil as I can but I can't since this is serious.

The UK laws need to change immediately. If someone dies and the account dies with him or her that would be beyond tragic. I don't like to insult random people but who was the moron who came up with that rule or law? Seriously. This needs to change right now.

I hate going back to these forums getting so heated, but this is important, it needs to change before it's too late.

10 or 20 years ago, sure. I'd agree. But now, every account is basically another flavor of social media account. That's why facebook retires people's pages when they die.

 

On the contrary, I feel like you should be able to designate someone to inherit your online accounts (if not just give them your login creds) for things like steam, where there are games and licenses tied in.

 

But... if you are going to die, how do you feel about someone taking your body, face and image, after the fact, and masquerade themselves as you? You are dead. Your friends and family know you are dead. They don't want to see someone pretending to be Blaze, trying to act like they are Blaze. Maybe try to commit some crimes and scam people as ex-Blaze. That wouldn't be cool, would it?

You are right, I rushed a rant on my YouTube channel which I deleted.
