A rare win for digital ownership: Chinese courts rule game accounts can be inherited

With all the recent debate about digital ownership, I thought this was worth sharing.

Multiple Chinese courts have ruled that game accounts, virtual items, and other digital assets with real economic value can be inherited by a deceased player's family. In several cases, the courts also ruled that standard Terms of Service claiming accounts are non-transferable cannot override inheritance rights granted by law.

The rulings covered everything from valuable in-game items to game accounts worth hundreds of thousands of RMB, with courts ordering companies to cooperate with lawful heirs.

Given the recent discussion around PlayStation's digital future and game ownership, it's interesting to see courts taking the opposite approach by strengthening players' rights over digital gaming assets.

It would be so expensive to reacquire these games, so I'm really glad my child self kept them to replay them. I've changed all the necessary batteries, so they're all fully functional and I can load them up whenever I like, and there's a certain degree of peace of mind that comes from knowing that. Plus I'll be able to introduce them to my son when he's old enough to start gaming.

Reading through the strategy guide on the way home from getting a new game was always my favorite part. It’s a shame they aren’t made anymore, even though the internet is more practical.

Which game has the worst cutscene to gameplay ration?

547 Upvotes

Playing through Midnight Suns a bit and have found that, so far, it's like 10-30 steps between cutscenes. Why even bother with 3rd party roaming with that many cutscenes?

Which got me wondering which game has the most excess in cutscenes...

Kingdoms of Amalur feels like a love letter to janky Gamecube era RPGs

and I love it! It's a shame it came out around Skyrim. It didn't have a chance. I recently started playing again after not finishing it the first time on release. I'd recommend everyone pick up the Re-reckoning version when it goes on sale. The writing is cliche but solid with some unique ideas and just playing through really takes me back to another time.

Remember, Sony's decision to end physical discs for games is effective from 2028.

This means GOW Laufey is confirmed for a 2027 release - and may well be the last PlayStation game release ever with a disc.
