I looked over the user agreement and searched the forums and i wasnt able to find the answer.
Since finding out that you cannot transfer your Steam account in your will i wondered what rules does GOG have about that case.

Can you leave your GOG acc to your inheritors in your will?

There is no official answer as far as I know.
I am not really sure how they would notice the difference since your email and password can be changed once you've logged in. If you deal with that on your end then once again I am not really sure that they would care or notice.

Write down username and password and put in sealed envelope.

Wait until death.

Profit.

Download all files, backup on multiple hdd's backup devices - core fundamental of DRM free is you own it. Therefore when you die your relatives get custody of the hdd's with the rest of your stuff, no need to even care about the account. Although for me I am going to be buried with my hdd's because I am that protective :o)

Picture on a bit of wire in front of camera (think it was mission impossible that first did that trick, although that was the scene the camera saw, not a person).

You can also change your email address on your Steam account. I was curious about policy and legality.

If there was official policy about it things would be very different. If i died and willed my gog collection to a friend, and there was official policy, he could just merge my Library with his, not go trough the loopholes of using my account separately or hoarding installers on a disk

Quite a lot of scope for abuse of the system. You would need to get into the whole "valid certificate of death" and "valid will" issue. With a lack of standardisation of these across countries, you would end up having to get them notarised (not cheap) and even then there's a fraud risk.

I can't imagine a small company like CDProjekt wanting to get involved in all that.

That isn`t legal. All you own can be inherited by your legal heir!!! You own a account, then your heir will inherit!

Well, my statement is right. Everithing you own can be inherited by your legal heir. It doesn`t matter if it is a car, a house a bank account or an online games account!!!

No. That statement is false. You are spreading misinformation.

What you are describing is the state of your ideal world. How things should work according to you. There I agree with you. My ideal world would work the same when it comes to this issue. However, this does not reflect reality and the current laws. That's not how things do work.
