I have 2 steam accounts registered on same email?!
My main account is registered on "e-mail A" and i created a new account with "e-mail B".

I contacted steam support and asked them if the could change from "e-mail A" to "e-mail B" on my main account.

They did it.

So now i have two accounts set on same e-mail adress.

This shouldnt be possible right?

The LOGIN NAME has to be unique, the email it is linked to, the authenticator and the community name can be identical across several accounts.

I believe there is a hard limit of how many accounts you can have using one email. It's rather high, though, if I recall correctly.

I really can't understand what you're asking. It appears that you're asking if you can transfer a game between two accounts. If that is the case, then no, you cannot.

You dont need to rebuy a game if you removed it from your account. In fact you cant even rebuy it.
Just use the same account the game was on, then go to the Steam Support page, search for the game and select " its not in my library".
If you previously removed the game then Steam will give you the option to restore the license to your account.

This will only work on the same account that bought the game originally, not on any other account with the same email.
what happen if i delete one of that account? only one account deleted or both?
it made me struggle a lot when i tryna to recover my account from hijacked
