I guess it’s more of a situation where they can’t penalize you if you buy and sell accounts.
But to answer your question, you would exchange your password for money and the account is now theirs with no fear that Valve will ban them for breaking a rule. They have to allow it but are not required to create functionality in Steam to make it easier.
Eh, I’ve been a lot less tempted by steam sales lately. Better to get stuff off of sites like GOG where possible, because you can usually get a DRM-free, offline installer as a backup
accounts are “non-transferrable,” but how would they actually know if you handed over your login info to someone
They don’t, it’s just to dissuade people from selling accounts and cover their ass.
If I can’t sell a thing then do I really own it?
No
Europeans can sell their steam game.
Wait, can we ?

That’s interesting I didn’t know that, thanks!
ok, well…over 14 years i’ve amassed over 200 games; no way i’m letting that evaporate into nothing if i find out my days are numbered

That’s not really the point of the story.
But yeah, I plan to hand down my accounts for everything, including Steam.
