Nevermind then, this is getting ridiculous. The backstory is this: A colleague and I want to play L4D, but 20 Euros for a 5 year old game is ludicrous. So he bought it on DVD from ebay, but of course it's used so he can't register it with Steam. He was frustrated as hell, and I want to play L4D, so I thought I'd ask around if someone has a spare copy.

Fuck Steam.

Steam claims you own both games. It won't let me gift anything to you. :P I assumed someone else had already hooked you up...

You could trade the game. This way it'll be in Sleepy's inventory and he can gift it to his colleague.

Yeah, the previous owner probably forgot to unregister his key or some shit.

they can remove the inactive copy you have, then Willem can try and gift you it again...

do explain...

1)Buying the game as an Inventory item to be traded.
Add game to cart.
Click 'Purchase as a Gift'.
Click 'Store the gift in my inventory to send later'.
The game is now an 'item' in your Steam inventory.

2)Trading an item with another Steam User.
Go to your friend's profile and click the 'More' drop down button.
Click 'Offer a trade'.
In the trade window, browse your inventory to 'Steam' (this may be the only catagory you have).
Drag the game 'item' to the right side and confirm the contents of the trade.
Your friend will then need to accept the trade.

Doom2 In Name Only

What would you build if you had nothing to go on but "The Ebon Fortress"? Or "The Vaults of Zin"?
