I have a (steam's) question

It is possible that a friend of mine give me a game even if this is not a gift? I mean, maybe if he uninstall the game and if he retrieves the key to me, I could install it on my account? Or am I making this up? XD
Sorry for my english, but I'm italian, and thanks to everyone that will help me :)

no, once a game is in your library, it stays there

Nope, that's the shitty part of digital games. there's no way to sell or gift finished or unwanted games

Nope. But here's something weird that happened to me- I logged in to another account on the computer that had all my installed games, and some of them were also in the library of that account.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that account had NO games.

You can't play them there though, they just show up to signify that they are installed and take up space on your hard drive.

If both accounts had the same game, you could use the same installation.

But you have to buy them on that other account in order to play.
