Give away a played steam game for a friend
I'm sure I don't want to play a game (Garry's Mod) anymore and I know a friend would play it. He will get a pc this week and has now made a steam account. I want to give him somehow the game, but I don't know how and I don't want that he buys the game, if I could give him my. Can someone help me? Thx in advance.

games in your library are tied there forever. The only way your f riend can access your copy of garry;s mod is through steam family sharing, but that means he can only play it when you are not using any other games in your library.

Thx for fast answer. That's stupid... Why isn't it possible to give an old game away? Just like a CD or something.

That;s been the standard for digital gaming for the better part of a decade now. The same applies to digital console games as well. Even physical PC games have had this restriction for years now in regards to used physical games only containing a one time use key. .
