Aria, miesiąc temu do gaming w GOG will let you bequeath your game library to someone else as long as you can prove you're actually dead

Alright hold on setting up my GOG dead man trigger. I wonder what info I need to include. So far I have an email going to support with the text “I AM DEAD”. I hope they don’t change address between now and when I die.

My guess is death certificate

AlyxMS, miesiąc temu do gaming w You can't take it with you, but you can't leave it for someone else either: Valve says you aren't allowed to bequeath a Steam account in a will

Also like all steam applications bundles with Steam’s DRM, right?

Wonder what happens when valve/steam shut down one day.

Best case scenario it's bought, or other platforms honor a number of steam purchases as a perk. But ultimately...poof

Luckily they make a lot, have relatively low operation costs, and are a private company that doesnt need to be enshitified for share holders

About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would “find a way” to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time…

Must have been Bush… I think the word you were looking for was precedent.

Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so punctuation didn’t seem important either.

No worries. I thought it was funny.

NO! Really?

Edit: sales and marketing don’t exist to sell stuff that people want, they exists to sell stuff that people don’t want. If you sell something with a high demand then you’re not a salesman, you’re a glorified cashier. Salesmanship involves getting people to buy stuff they wouldn’t otherwise buy. Most companies don’t have anything special that everyone wants, so they have to resort to sales and marketing to stay in business.

Profit isn’t the issue, it’s having to continually show outsized profit growth rates to keep shareholders happy that’s the problem. Look at private companies like Valve for comparison.
