Accounts aren't transferable but GOG is willing to make it happen, with a little help from the legal system.

    How am I supposed to prove I am dead if I am dead? 🤔

    I can just leave USB drives with all the offline installers in a box. Then I don’t have to prove shit!

      Just send them a photo of you dead. Make sure to label it “This is me, dead”.

      Or send them your dead body.

        As far as I know dead people don’t receive a death certificate

          Yes they do, but their partner or child is allowed to get copies.

              If you call the bank to cancel the account of a dead person, are they asking for your death certificate or the death certificate of the person that died?

                Well it’s the dead guys death cert, but since the dead guy is dead he can’t prove anything. Lol I’m just fucking around.

                  Me too actually. I searched it up before commenting and the wording didn’t disprove me immediately, so I ran with it.

                  Now I’m curious and will have to research it…lol

        Where can I get death certified? Does CompTIA offer it?

      I feel like all it would be would be giving the account via your will, then having that transferred through an attorney, who has a copy of/access to your death certificate.
