Isn't this the same with any asset for probate? In the UK, you cannot just hand them a pinky promise IOU. If the person has 4 kids and a wife, who gets the steam library? Courts decide this.

I would assume that court orders and proved wills have different levels of coercion when you present them to someone like GOG? Dunno. Each country probably has its own rules, including fun complexities like whether or not GOG was a party to the process or not.
