A friend is asking payback, but i don't have the money

[SodaMazing]

Ok, so a friend of mine just gave me Fallout 3 as a gift yesterday because I was a good friend to him, i want to pay him back but he doesn't wanna, now today he is asking for Dishonored obligated, and he knows he said that I said i would pay him back, but i'm in an economical problem right now and I can't afford 10 dollars for a game, my budget for gifting is 5 bucks, what do I do?, should I contact Steam Support to remove the game from my library?

No you cant do that. That wouldnt give him anything back. It would be a lose lose situation. Just ask him for more time to pay him back. If he is a good friend he will understand.

He can't force you to buy him a game. And he gifted you the game, so there's nothing he can do.

If you can't afford to gift him a game, and/or do not want to, then don't...

Worst case scenario, he can issue a chargeback on the game purcahse. Your game will be taken away and he will have his Steam account suspended. No harm to you, and he gets pretty much banned...

So don't sweat it.

He can't force you to purchase things. That's a pretty simple fact...

As for the chargeback... it's in the Steam Rules.

What if I redeemed a game from a trade that is fraudulently purchased?

If this happens, the account where the fraud took place will be suspended. Your account will not be suspended, however the game you redeemed/unpacked to your account will be removed. We will restore the items/gifts that were associated with the trade that you performed to receive the game as a one-time customer service gesture. If you did not trade any items/gifts for the game directly then we are not able to restore anything to your account (i.e. if the game was a gift). Please contact Steam Support if a game that you traded for is missing from your inventory or account.

Key parts to look at.

If this happens, the account where the fraud took place will be suspended. Your account will not be suspended, however the game you redeemed/unpacked to your account will be removed.

Chargebacks are a very, very bad thing in Valve's eyes. Never do chargebacks.
