If you cannot pass on your ownership rights to your purchased games to your children, then you cannot pass on your copyright either, I guess?

That's ridiculous. You should be free to give away, sell, or trade digital games just like you can with physical copies.

But only the whole account, or did that change

Not the whole account, only individual games.

Last I heard, Steam hadn't actually implemented that functionality yet, though.

It would probably take someone to sue them, but they would have to implement it.

Transferring the whole account after you die is what this post is about.
