    Wasn't sure where else to post a question like this, but yeah.

    I have CS: S and HL2 on this other steam account can you trade/swap the game to another Steam account?

    The story behind this is, that my dad installed it onto a new steam account when we didn't have internet on our Gaming PC and his PC was only internet ready at the time. But his PC only has a onboard video card and a intel celeron.

    If there is a way, much appreciated.

    Also I asked on steam not sure if my question went through cause my Net froze on my when I hit submit and haven't received an email(response)

    If I recall once you have the games on one account you can share them with the rest of the accounts on your comp but im not 100% on it.

    after thinking about it why do you need another account? why not use the same one on both you just cant be on the same game at the same time.

    The games are locked to the account but you can switch between multiple accounts whenever you want on the same machine

    I'm going t be blunt, logging in and logging out of steam only takes a few seconds.


    I don't know how many steam accounts I have, but really it's not bad switching

    Contact steam support with scans of the cd keys and they should be able to retrieve the account for you

    it should be, or ask them to unregister the game on the account, maby they can do that, i havent used steam in a while but isnt there even a "lost username/password" link you can hit???
