I can at least access the account now however the account itself is still registered to an e-mail address I have no control over so ownership of the account could be taken from me. So, my original HL is still registered to the wrong account. We are also not able to combine or move accounts.Please see the Steam Subscriber Agreement and the CD Key Reset Process FAQ if you would like more information" We apologize for any inconvenience.Game Subscriptions can not be transferred to a different accounts or reset CD Keys. "Hello, Thank you for contacting Steam Support. I politely reply that this solution in no way solves my issue as I still do not control the e-mail address this account is registered to and ask for the key to be moved to my account where I do control the e-mail address.

I receive a reply e-mail stating the the password on my account (the rogue account) has been reset. Now, here's where things start to get frustrating. So, I did that and sent the information on it's way.
I received a canned message which asked me to jump through a bunch of hoops-they wanted me to scan the original cd insert with the key, provide credit card info on the account to verify my ownership. So, due to my issue I contacted Steam support. I may have typed it in on another account many moons ago or a friend may have, but I digress. When I initially attempted to get my HL1 key to my steam account I was greeted by a message stating something along the lines of "This key is already in use." Now, I'm not entirely sure how my key got used. My experience with getting my HL1 key to my account however has been one of the few bad experiences I've had. Well that and Bliz games like Starcraft and the upcoming Starcraft 2.įirst, let me say Steam overall is great. Now if only EA would release their Battlefield series(mainly 2) on steam I'd be almost all set.

I love the fact that every time I build a new PC(or need to reinstall, lie with the W7 RC) and sell or give away an old one it's as easy as pie to download the steam client and reinstall most of my library within a day or two.

Steam is the best thing that happened to PC gaming IMO(although I also use Impulse as I like some of the games only available there and competition is good and keeps companies honest). I now have a primary ID that I bought the Valve Complete Collection with(along with 30+ other games not from Valve) and have also gifted 10+ games to friends and family. I've since relegated that steam user ID as a kind of guest ID as I only use it on a secondary PC in my house(that's only really able to play those classics) and have since started a new ID right about the same time the Orange box was released. I only bought Counterstrike by itself and got all of the same games as he did when I entered in my CD key. Click here for a list of other gaming subreddits.
