Default Transfer a game between Steam accounts

Does anyone know a way to transfer a games activation to another Steam account?

I have a new account with all my HL2 stuff activated, but I forgot a long ways back for HL1, I activated it on another account.

I'd like to have it all under the same account and just kill the old one.

I think the only way to do that would be to contact valve and ask them to do it... and then you'll prolly need the password and/or registration key.

Thanks Verge.

I thought it wouldn't be simple.

I've been searching around the Steam forums for an answer and I think that is the consensus on the issue.

I didn't even think when I created a new account and activated the Orange Box about Half Life 1 and the account I created many years ago.

I have the key and everything, so hopefully they'll do it.

Like I said in-game, let me know if you succeed in this endeavor as all my HL1 games are still on my other account as well (and I must have at least 3 copies of HL2DM lol...)

Hope you didn't pay for them as HL2: DM is free

I will, as soon as I know anything, you'll know.

It's the weekend, so I'm not expecting much until next week.
