    I have a couple of games that I was thinking of donating on a first come first serve basis. Is this possible?

    I think its only duplicate games you can give away as gifts. Not sure. But if theirs a way I'd take a game off ya :p

    Well, if it is possible - and you are welcome to the first pick, R_H_C_P - I'm thinking L4D and COH can go, and maybe World of Goo and STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl.

    I wouldn't mind playing world of goo if you'd be so kind. :)

    Are you talking about games you've played and are now finished with? You can't "donate" these.

    If you own duplicate copies of games, in some cases they can be gifted to other people. Details

    Sounds to me that you're out of luck.

    Yeah, I think you'd basically have to give these people your account details.

    I have 3 Steam accounts, each with games on it, which I lend out to mates if I want them to try a certain game with me, which they may like and can then purchase for their own steam account. Such as L4D and TF2, however all my other games that I don't play unfortunately...have to just sit there in my Steam account. Its not like a disc where I can just give it around....as its tied to my account alongside all my other games

    Yeah, it seems so. They are old games that I've either played to death or don't have any interest in playing as opposed to duplicates. Sorry about the false alarm, folks. Blame Steam.

    They can still get replayed. Not strictly within the EULA but I accidentally left myself on auto-login on my brothers pc with connect to internet disabled. :rolleyes:
