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

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

      How does a dead person receive anything?

        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
