Saw a article on a large number of gamers being over 55 and then I saw this which I believe needs to be addressed in our current laws.

    From what I know, you cannot access or transfer a email account on death, at most you can close it.

    So again, there is a need for legal ways to transfer our digital goods in my opinion because unless you have a will, which so many people don’t have set up, with passwords for all of your accounts, which you’d better be updating on every password change, if you die suddenly before you can transfer your account in a orderly fashion, you can be hosed with passing on digital goods

      If you can’t with this one particular email provider, you can just use a different one, or even your own domain.
