if you can obtain a copy of a court order that specifically entitles someone to your GOG personal account, the digital content attached to it taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it, and that specifically refers to your GOG username or at least email address used to create such an account, we’d do our best to make it happen.
This is not just proving that you’re dead, it’s proving that the court thinks it’s transferable. These are very different statements

They’re outright stating the account itself is transferable if you are entitled to it, but that some content attached to the account won’t be, depending on EULA and transferability of individual software licenses.3

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.

My ghost will haunt GoG’s corporate offices until they relent and transfer my games to the person who’s name I keep creepily spelling with frost on their mirrors & windows.

Hi Gog I died it was really hard to write this from beyond the grave but please ensure my copy of creatures 2 makes it to little Jimmy

In my testament I’ll share my GOG account data and password in all social networks and Wikipedia with a hand with extended middle finger out of the grave.
