I can't even imagine 100 years from now when gamers are dying every day.

Right now I feel like I can change an account name and email pretty easily and nobody would care. But when that account is 130 years old, someone might start asking questions

You must be quite young or sheltered if you haven't had a few gamers you knew die already. Not everyone dies of old age.

100 years? 28% of gamers are in their 30s. 43% are 40 and older. And that's just in the US. Average life expectancy at birth in the US for people who are now in their 30s and 40s is 74-75.
