I’m pretty sure I’m done with Steam gaming, haven’t launched a game in almost a year, and generally want to move away from DRM.
So I had the idea I could just “give away” my Steam account.

Create a new email address without personal info attached, tie it to the Steam account, remove my payment info from Steam and just post the email and password somewhere (maybe here) for the first lucky person to claim.

Would that be safe, or is it possible to recover the changes I made before and get access to my private info? Or is there a better way to give away my games?

    Your Steam account is tied to backed up cloud saves. I wouldn’t just give away the account to a complete stranger. Also Steam’s EULA forbids it, so any problem might lead to the account being closed.

    I would only give my account to trusted people.
