Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

GOG will let you bequeath your game library to someone else as long as you can prove you're actually dead (www.pcgamer.com)

So long as I can prove I'm dead? I'm now going to add it to my will that my inheritees must yeet my corpse at GoG's office door.

The title is wrong. It's not about proving that the owner is dead (which is easy, you get a death certificate when a relative dies).

It's about proving that the person requesting access of the dead person account is actually the person legally receiving the dead person's possessions (or GOG account specifically).

This comment should be somewhere near the top. My reaction was similar to DebatableRaccoon's.
