GOG also let’s me download installers so if I really wanted to I could just put my entire library on an external hard drive and add that tk my will
If you read carefully this is actually very similar to the Steam news. I doubt Valve or GOG care, but generally the games are “sold” by the publisher as non transferable licenses for you to play them. So the part that matters isn’t up to them.
if you can obtain a copy of a court order that specifically entitles someone to your GOG personal account, the digital content attached to it taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it, and that specifically refers to your GOG username or at least email address used to create such an account, we’d do our best to make it happen.
This is not just proving that you’re dead, it’s proving that the court thinks it’s transferable. These are very different statements
So long as I can prove I’m dead? I’m now going to add it to my will that my inheritees must yeet my corpse at GoG’s office door.
The title is wrong. It’s not about proving that the owner is dead (which is easy, you get a death certificate when a relative dies).
It’s about proving that the person requesting access of the dead person account is actually the person legally receiving the dead person’s possessions (or GOG account specifically).
