    You don't. Its tied to your steam account now and it will always be.

    If your brother is using your steam account then there is no need to transfer the key to him as the game is bound to your account. If however you are looking for the key to give to him so he can install it on your account on his pc you need to right click the game and view product key. That way he can activate a game on your account by using the cd key.

    If however your brother is trying to do this on his account it will not work at all.

    I thought I could revoke the key and let him have the game install it on his account that way I can log on to Steam when ever rather than wait for him/me to finish etc.

    Chances of moving the key to my brother account by getting touch with steam ?? Slim/none ?

    His key is already registered and played on. It's not going to work.

    None. There is no second hand market for pc games with Steam. Your game is locked to your account.
