Why can't I give away tf2?

I can do that. Here you go, that's my giveaway, directly from Steam: CLICK

Thanks for skyrim!
Oh wait, wrong topic!

Oh this again :)

Actualy, TF2 used to be available for gifting on SteamGifts. Unfortunately, people were making troll giveaways for it. No one actually had a retail key to give away.

Adding a retail key to your account grants you premium as well as the proof-of-purchase hat. (It also grants you 5 cards drop now.) You can still get that from adding the Orange Box to your account.

This...

Because you are an E-freak :p

Some people just don't understand a "troll" when they see one...

Thanks for Skyrim dude!

I was particular excited for your spare copy of "half life 7 - attack of darth vader". Then I noticed you weren't allowed to give it away. That blows!

Yeah, exactly.Like, i was gonna give my 5 copies of gta5 then i discovered i can't.What's up with that?

Well, a code or tradable steam-copy of the game still unlocks premium-account, a special hat and maybe even some card drops (not sure about that).. and in countries like Germany, where the game is censored, its the only way to get an uncut version.

I gave away a retail copy to a friend of mine few days ago. The game is F2P but the retail one has a premium DLC that enables rare items to drop.

You're kidding, right?

Yeah why not, 0 points needed to enter, 0 CV gained, 0 entries because everyone has it, 0 wins. Everyone happy!

I'm so mad at you! Loud noises! Rage!

(Thanks for DOTA 2.)

You try to scam somebody? Give tf2 for 12 keys or what is this?

Were Orange Box keys separate ones? I think not, and you couldn't get them elsewhere (too lazy to check SteamDB for confirmation). So you can't make a giveaway. You still can gift Orange Box, though.

tf2 free you can't give it away

Can't believe what I just read :| Go on the raffle site for tf2 and giveaway the upgrade to premium gift for tf2.

Why can't I giveaway HL3?????!!! Dis unfair

(btw, i see what you did there...)
