    The credit card company is going to cancel your card once it finds out. They have access to your Social Sec I’d and credit score. They’ll know once your taxes are filed, if not sooner.

        You think credit card companies are in the business of leaving cards bringing to dead people open? People who can no longer be held liable to pay the debts that are accrued?

      Yeah that makes sense. But would they send a letter to Valve or something?

        No, the credit card would get cancelled. Then if anyone wanted to buy anything else on the account, would have to put their own on it, which has their name.

        I guess if no one did that, it might be overlooked. Maybe. Honestly, who knows with how much info mega companies have managed to collect on everyone and distribute to anyone willing to pay.

          Tbf I’ve made a payment on my account with another person’s card.

          I was broke and friends wanted to play a game with me and since I was already hanging out with them in person, rather than gifting the game, my friend just generated a one-time use card in Revolut and I paid using that.

          Account still there.

          Name on the card is not conclusive proof of death by any means.

          You could get around the named card issue with gifting games to the account. Not sure which would stand out the most.
