To illustrate where I come from: I love home museums, but I always wonder if people that died in them intended their domestic life to be on display, alongside their "greatness" or "representitiveness?" Whom was it that cleaned up the mess that dying leaves?
Horta Museum in Brussels is fab - and the one curiosity that engaged me and my excellent Belgian pal was the "lazy John" pull out pissoir at the master bedroom of that narrow and high house.
To me it told Horta could not hold his piss, and did not consider his wife too much. To my pal it told other things.
To summarise: passing on digital games we own should be casual, as passing money or physical discs. Gog.com could allow us to volunteer an e-mail for our heir.

If you click on it, it opens a new page, where you'll find this (or something similar worded, since I had to translate this from German):
11.1
(h) GOG Accounts may not be shared, "bought," "sold," transferred, gifted, loaned, stolen, or transferred. [...]
That's the legal side of it.
I remember, GOG saying in the past, that you could install your games on as many computers as you have in your household...so, you playing on one computer, and your siblings playing on one or two (or three, four...) other computers, would have been a-ok with them.
However - if your siblings don't live with you under the same roof...that changes things, I'd say.
At the end it all comes down to your moral/ethics.
Edit: argh...should've read further before answering your post...looks like I've been ninja'd eleven days ago by Maighstir. XD

Anyway - as I've mentioned a couple of posts earlier, I feel that I've gathered (more or less) opinions (especially those where users interacted between themselves). So, that's it :)

But my natural gaming heirs should be my brother, my best friend - and ideally children whose parents cannot afford games.
I have to ask my bro if he'd have the strenght to fight for this. I'd love the idea. But I regret to think that gog.com just hopes our dying isi the ultimate DRM.
