The title says it all. If I die, can I 'gift' my whole library to another person so that he could add it to his or her library?

There was another similar recent thread like this. Post #5 should answer your question:-

Fairfox: are you plannin' on livin' forevah too?
Yep
I think it's good to know I could leave my account to my grand-child when I shuffle from this mortal coil. I'll just have to make sure I have all the necessary paperwork in place.

The survivors will have to deal with the death certificate stuff, but if they snooze, they loose.
All you need to do is contact support, you can't add games to their library but you could let them have the account. Or at least that used to be the case, no idea what the current stance on it is, but i doubt it changed in less than a year

No, it doesn't, because that's not a post from a GOG employee, much less an official statement.

Moreover, the recent Caligula thread shows evidence that GOG sometimes selectively cherrypicks to do special things for some of its customers, but not for others who are in the exact same situation.

In other words, just because the situation applied to poster #5 that you cited, it doesn't necessarily mean that it would also be applied to other GOG customers.

That's presuming poster #5 was even telling the truth (I'm not saying he isn't, but ultimately, we have no way to know 100% for sure whether he is or not).

So my point is, the only real answer to this question would need to come a GOG employee, who states an official GOG policy that they guarantee to apply equally to every customer.

Gog will die at some point too you know. As will other platforms.

Why don't you just back your games up to a device and hand that over?

Transferring a license in this way is perfectly legal.
Legally, you could. But it may be complicated, in terms of logistic transference.
I would have liked a blue statement about this. Any moderators?

It depends almost entirely on the laws of your country, which usually have not taken that kind of thing into account yet, with digital goods being a somewhat recent thing.

You need to ask a Ukranian lawyer.
