Strangely, many Gen Z gamers go to make wills, the property left is … game accounts worth hundreds of millions

According to China News Network, the Will Bank of China recently released the “White Paper on the Bank of China’s Wills and Wills in 2021”. Among them, data on wills of the generation born after the year 2000 is published for the first time: Among those who leave wills between 2020 and 2021, a total of 233 are from the generation born after the year 2000. 2000, an increase of 14.42%. In addition, compared to last year, the total number of wills left behind by people born after the year 90 also increased by 80%.

Different from other age groups, in the wills of the “post-00” and “post-90”, the inclusion of “virtual property” has become a prominent feature: Alipay, WeChat, QQ, game accounts and other virtual assets… It is a common property characteristic of people born after 2000 and 90.

This is because more than half of people think: “It’s impossible to predict what will happen. It’s a pity to leave the game accounts without telling what will happen tomorrow.”

This is a rather unexpected feature of Gen Z in China. According to the data, testators continue to get younger and the average age of testator groups has steadily decreased from 77.43 years old to 68.59 years old. However, the inclusion of virtual assets such as game accounts in the will also shows how much young people today invest in games.
