I have a special question and I hope people can answer it ?

what about the lifetime of an account - knowing no one is immortal what happens to an account when its owner dies ?

may it be inheritated to someone of choice - or will it be bound to enternity to that person altough he or she will not be able to acces it in after life ?

:/

That's probably a system that GOG and CD Projekt being so young, have probably not accounted for, unlike Google.

Just leave your password and email address in your will, that'll solve everything .

They send your family a plush GOGbear to put in your coffin.Your games, if not passed on to another family member, are then set free to the wild, to roam in the realms of GOGdom, happy and free at last. I can almost hear Max fighting with a Morded-possessed Samuel Gordon now, while Rufus, Guybrush, and George Stobbart have an insult contest. Meanwhile, Jack Keane is still attempting to get his arm to glitch out of a tree.

Actually it has been raised before and TET (at the time) responded along the lines of "well of course you can pass it to your next of kin" (paraphrasing there of course).

If your account isn't active for more than five days, it gets deleted.
True story.

That's actually a good question that I hope one of the Blues will answer.

you can setup a deadman's switch where if you don't login after a specified number of days it's assumed you're dead and access to you account is given to two people you specify

Good idea.

Sending GoG a certificate of death and an ID certifying that one is next of kin should do it too, but the dead man's switch is the most efficient solution, I guess.

I'm here every day and if I'm not logged in for a year and haven't said anything, you can be certain that I'm dead.

also most accounts have our date of birth,the probability of you still being alive after 110 years are pretty slim.I see the great purge starting in 2070 where a whole generation of our grand kids get their stuff deleted.

I plan to live at least 120 years and you people will not deny me access to my games later!

Is it possible to kill someone's account, like with holy water or a stake through the heart or something?
