Bought the game on the wrong account

[Jonny Millar]

So i bought Arma 3 on the wrong account with steam, i havent installed it yet but its on offer and if the team don't reply then ill have to buy it at full price. So i was wondering is it better to buy it on both accounts and hope for a refund or sit tight and hope they get to it before the sale ends?

You mean the support team? They're suffering a high ticket load and most likely won't be able to solve your case until the end of the sale.

It is well known that Valve do not transfer games to other accounts. You can try them for a refund but it is not guranteed.

but will it get moved accounts? or should i buy it on the other one as well and try and get a refund for one of them?

i feel so stupid now

No, they don't do that.

It's up to you if you want to buy it again. There is no gurantee they will refund you.

If you buy it now, you can play it on the account you want now.

EIther way, your chances of a refund are slim, so it's up to you.

Games never get transferred. Period. But you can still use SFS to access a game bought on account A using the account B.

[Jonny Millar]

SFS?

[TirithRR]

Steam's policies say No, they won't transfer the game.

Steam Famly Sharing. You can access games from another account using your account if they are shared with you.

Currently in Beta.
