Steam downloads

I have two Steam accounts. Is there any way i can merge them into one account, in other words transfer all the games to one account.

Thanks.

As far as I know that is not possible.

Theres no official mechanism, try contacting valve directly

Nope.

Nope whatever you buy on that account is only usable on that one.

I have heard of people having accounts merged in the past but you need to ask Steam support really nicely.

OK thanks for that. It's not really a problem having two accounts so at least i know. Thanks for all the replies.

I had a steam account years ago and had not used it in that long i had forgot my details, i only had a couple of older games on it anyway.

I recently found my old account details so logged in.

Yes it is possible, tho Steam support aren't always the most helpful about it. The thing is the payment details on file for both accounts must match i.e. the billing address if you've used a credit card must be the same for both, if you have deleted payment details, used cards registered to different addresses and so on then your out of luck.

EDIT: IIRC if you have any games purchased other than via steam downloads you will also need to have to hand a receipt for atleast one of those per account, so at best you will be jumping through hoops and steam really don't seem to like doing it for people.

I think it's a good idea to keep your two accounts really. If one gets hacked or whathaveyou, at least you'll be able to use the other one whilst you wait for steam support.

i dont think it is but you can contact their support team and ask?

I don't think you'd need a receipt for the game itself, I reckon a photo of the game's box, disc and manual with the CD key would be sufficient.

Im going to try contacting them tomorrow. I have shogun on a different account but I didn't know I had 2 accounts (there is one letter difference between the two) so I will see if they can merge it. Both use the same email address and contact details so I am hoping
