After 90, 00, the game account is included in the will, NetEase: Think of beauty, the account is mine

With the popularization of the concept of the rule of law, more and more ordinary people have begun to carefully consider the ownership and handling of "personal assets". In the latest data released by the China Wills Database, the total number of consultation wills has reached 314,900; there are 15,700 wills of middle-aged and young counselors, and 299,200 consulting wills for the elderly. Surprisingly, there are also figures of post-00s and post-90s, and the total number of people added up has reached four figures.

By the end of 2021, the number of post-90s testaments will increase by 80%, bank deposits account for 71.4%, and virtual property will reach 81.82%. The number of testators after 00 to 2021 also increased by 14.42% over the previous year. The number of people consulting wills is still on the rise. The difference between the wills of the post-90s and 00s and ordinary wills is that most of them belong to "virtual property" other than material property, such as WeChat, Alipay, Taobao and game accounts.

Players give the game a heavier meaning

Some people may say, what is there to inherit from a string of code? This guy certainly doesn't play games, and veteran gamers know the meaning of an account. DNF dungeons and knights, the equipment on the player XuXu baby should no one be red-eyed, and Xuxu baby also invested tens of millions of dollars or even more for this account. A 16 or 17 increase in equipment with +17 weapons makes how many players can't climb high, ranking among the top in the national service list.

League of Legends anchor Liu Kill Chicken spent 100,000 yuan a night in order to smoke "Li Qing (the game character's dragon's heir skin". Maybe we ordinary people don't have that much money, but many people still choose to pay for a better gaming experience. Even if you don't have money, it's a memory. The game takes the player to a world of happiness and vengeance that many people yearn for, free and free. Make like-minded friends, push the limits of operation, and even meet their first love.

Tencent and NetEase: The account is mine

In this way, it is not surprising that the post-90s and post-00s will list game accounts as inheritance. However, Tencent NetEase said: You do not have account ownership. If someone carefully observes, they will find such a clause in the user agreement or game agreement: game virtual items include but are not limited to game characters, resources, props, etc., and their ownership belongs to NetEase, and users can only use them according to the rules of the game under legal regulations. It probably means that users can only use the account under legal circumstances, but the ultimate ownership is still owned by the company.

As for the issue of account attribution, users and companies have long since lost their skin. More than ten years ago, there were exposed related cases, Ms. W's husband died unexpectedly, because her husband's QQ number has many photos and letters of the two people, she wanted to keep this account for a thought, but did not know the password, she asked Tencent for help, but Tencent rejected Ms. W's request on the grounds that "the account is not the user's private property, the ownership belongs to the company".

The same is true of NetEase's game Rate, a big guy in the game also complained, saying that in the case of no violation of his account, he charged millions in this game, and suddenly told him that this account was not his own. There are also players who suspect that NetEase secretly changed the terms of service, spent so much money as a result of playing in the rental number, and also called on other players not to recharge again, NetEase official service urgently clarified: the user agreement has not been secretly changed recently.

What the Civil Code says

Users spend so much effort in the game, and it is understandable that they want to use high-priced accounts as an inheritance. The Civil Code uniformly summarizes inheritance as follows: Inheritance is the legal property of individuals left behind at the time of the death of a natural person. If the property on the will is all legal property that you personally legally own, including houses, trees, savings, daily necessities, cultural relics, library materials, legal income and other property permitted by law, and it is determined that it is legally owned by life and is not leased from others, then this property can be regarded as an inheritance and can be left to the heirs you designate.

However, for the ownership of digital heritage, there is no specific law to determine whether the account is the user's private property, and it still needs to wait for the refinement of the law. For users, the game company's pure is the overlord clause, spent so much money, poured so much effort in the game, every day in order to upgrade the monster to bother, and finally someone told you that you can only use this account, not completely belongs to you, who will be happy?

The embarrassment of the game company

From the company's point of view, the development of a game, the company should enjoy copyright and ownership, if the ownership belongs to the user, then the account violation or other improper transactions, for the company is a trouble. And a game can not be popular forever, if one day the company plans to close the game, but the accounts in the game are the user's individual, the game can not be closed, it is not in the company's interests.

How to protect the interests of players?

Finally, virtual assets, and real assets, although there are differences in the form of expression, should be regarded as personal assets in the final analysis. Game companies rely on a paper overlord treaty, beforehand will be the user's money, hit the water, of course, there are their reasons. But now, more and more related cases have been exposed, so should we also add a message, once the user determines that it will no longer use the account, whether Tencent NetEase should also return the "valuable assets" that belong to the players in a certain proportion.

After the 90s and 00s, they think too much, even if they recharge tens of millions of games, the account is not their own
