Games are tied to 1 account, games cannot be tranfered to a new/other account

All purchases are tied to our default account name and email.

NO


(You could create a new account and use family share to give access to the games on the existing account, if they allow it)

Edit: Ah just looked at your account, VAC banned, you can't family share a game you are VAC banned in

Only the account, not email

You can have any number of accounts on one email. Each account only has the games purchased on it.

Creating a new account on the same email will just give you a new empty account with no games as well as your previous account with your games on it.

No.


Reason if you cared to read below, and a better solution for you.


Games do no transfer, they're bound to the account, not email, or phone number. Yes you can make another account, and use same email, but you won't gain access to the other account that way, if you want to make a new account, and access your two game on the other account you can do family share, what it does is allow you to access one account Library just like sharing. Please understand that some devs/pubs choose to opt out of this feature, such as Rainbow six siege, or etc is to avoid players that have been banned for cheating to be allowed access again.

It's a good thing, because if did delete it you lose your two games, also read my post above about family sharing.
