Should? They are in all but legalistic terms. I had my Rockstar account stolen years ago shortly after their auth db was leaked, Rockstar support was of no help and I lost access to all my Rockstar games -- some of which are tied to third-party services (Steam) that don't permit repurchase (or otherwise generating a new serial code) and won't refund my current copy.

Piracy is the only way I can play my legally-purchased copy of GTA V or Max Payne III. (Most of their older titles did not have mandatory Rockstar DRM like the new ones, so they are OK)

How is an account not property?

Well its likely a license. Therefore you have civil legislation and contract law that you will never be able to use protecting you
