Two of the Same Games on Steam

Hey, I was just wondering, I bought CS: Source retail box today and it comes iwth day of defeat and half life 2 deathmatch, I want to activate it on my account. The problem is that I have day of defeat and half life 2 deathmatch on my account already. The card only has one key and I'm assuming its for all three games. Would my account have two day of defeats and stuff? Is there a way I can move the other two games onto another account?Two of the Same Games on Steam

Nope. It's rather lame.Two of the Same Games on Steam
If you did activate it on the same account, you'd be able to ''gift'' the extra copies to anyone on your Friends list. If you just created a new account, put it on the list, and Gifted the games, it would be virtually the same thing.
It should turn the second instance of the game into a ''gift'', or at least that's what it did when I bought the orange box.I'd recomend using the gift option instead of creating a new account since accounts are not suppose to be sold or transfered.

Orange box is one of the acceptions and only for Half-life 2 and Episode 1.

You can read about the acceptions here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4502-TPJL-2656

it appears that it's only for Left 4 Dead and the Orange Box at the moment.
