so that's the story:

  1. i got an email which said i ordered a new password
  2. im like -???- i didnt
  3. i see that there's a different name than my steam acc has (but its similar)
  4. i try to log into it
  5. IT WORKS
  6. it says i have this account for 5 years
  7. AND THEN: there are some games in the library!
    but i dont remember this acc and the games are:
    dota 2, ac brotherhood, half-life 1+2 and some games (not all) from hib 5 and 6 (but torchlight as demo lol)

strangest thing is i definitely didnt log in for at least 3-4 years and all these games there i have in my regular steam acc too

how does this come???
i remember i created a steam acc looong ago but i never used it

EDIT: ok for most games there's a buy button, except for torchlight demo (obv) and DOTA2 :D

EDIT2: dota2 starts but "freezes" when it tries to connect to the dota2 network
no free games then :(

Somebody got hold of it. Been using it for 3-4 years. You found it again. Change password. Profit.

You don't have these games in your account. They are just installed. You can't start them with your old account.

If you click on any there's a Buy button instead of Play. And that's because you have them installed on your current computer. If your friend came over and logged into his Steam account on your computer, he would have those games too shown on his acc even if he doesn't own them - same deal they will show up as Buy the game.

Dota 2 is in beta but is not freely available.

Now, it may be that there's some confusion regarding the Dota 2 Spectator Client.

Steam finds some of your downloaded games if you log in with another account. It don't always show all of them, and I don't know why. To know if you have any games, check your account details, it lists all your games and how you got them (Steam store, CD-key, Steam gift etc.)

so that's the explanation:

  1. some guess ur password or something ?
  2. login to ur account
  3. make it their primary account
  4. buy games for ur old account
  5. want to change the password

strangest thing is i'm not sure

Sigh... Nobody stole your account or whatever. This is what you get if you log in with different accounts on the same PC. Games will appear in the other account too, but they won't be playable.

The request for new pass might be because some of your friends (like my cousin) knows my acc pass and nick :D but he doesnt know my email pass so he was attempting once to enter in my acc and I was getting in my mail lots of forgotten password and new pc mails and I was like "WTF!?what is going on!??!" but I he told me that it was him xD

Stored content from certain games will show up in any account that you log into on that PC. If you log into that account from a different PC, you'll see how empty it really is lol.
