What if I swear on god FR FR?
How do I posthumously prove anything?
Do I need a dead-man switch? Do they sell those?
I think a death certificate and your will are enough. Only one of the two is probably not enough.
Wills aren't required and not everyone will have one.
I think the best course of action is to have a trust set up and have all of your assets under the trust. That's how my attorney set up my end of life tasks. It saves you problems with probate and taxes while also giving you flexibility if you want to change things.
Out of the loop here… what’s GOG?
Competitor to steam, it's selling points are DRM free games releasing old games in playable States for modern machines. They also sell contemporary games.
And owned by cd project (Witcher, cyberpunk)
Ahhh. Got it.

How can I prove that I'm dead if I'm dead? The fuck?
No, anything but that.
I see what you did there.
Postmortem selfie with the boys.
And just like that, GOG rose to surpass Steam as the better place to buy video games.
The only client I would willingly install alongside Steam
If only they had a Linux client I might do that too, but the client they said they would come out with never apeared
Funny how people like it when they actually provide value to you instead of only forcing an ad delivery/data collection tool on you, right?
It was already better as the games it sells are free of Digital Restrictions Management
Just call it malware. At least that's an honest name.

I’m guessing Steam decided against being able to leave your games to somebody else when you die because of how most EULAs I’ve read work: they are often non-transferrable licence and so in most cases the store has no choice in the matter. Now GOG are willing to say they will do what they can given this limitation, but I can see why Steam wouldn’t: it’s a whole lot of work for realistically not much benefit. It’s probably easier for Valve to gift the same games over to the new person.
Aren't all the games on GOG DRM-free? If so, there's not much difference here than giving someone a USB drive filled with the installers.
