• Is it Possible to Switch a Game from One Profile to Another?
    9 replies, posted
I have a question. I just started playing Gmod again for the first time in months. One of the things I wanted to do was download a Thompson into Garry's Mod by using the Toybox, but I had a problem. The Steam profile which has Garry's mod also has the other games such as HL2, CS, Portal, etc. However, I also have another profile, and this one has Day of Defeat: Source. Since it isn't on the same profile as Garry's Mod, I can't download any of the weapons, since it says I don't have it. I tried going to DoD:S in Steam to see if I could just install it on the same profile as GMod, but it only has the option of buying it again. Only, I don't want to do that since I already have it, just on a different profile. I also have no trouble switching between the 2 profiles. So, is there anyway I can take Day of Defeat: Source, and put it in my other profile which has Garry's Mod?
No.
So, the only way I could possibly add the Day of Defeat stuff to Garry's Mod would be to buy it again on my other profile, even though I already own and have installed both games? That's just stupid.
No it's not, it's teaching you to buy games on one profile.

That's just stupid.[/QUOTE] It's not stupid at all, Steam was created under the assumption that a person would buy all of their games on the same account. If they allowed transfer of games then that means I could (illegally) sell my games.
I still wish I could at least move the folder which has the files in it, or something like that. The only reason I have it on another profile is because it was part of a huge pack of games I bought during those sales they had around Christmas. Another reason was that it was the profile I just happened to be on. Since I hadn't played Garry's Mod in a long time, I didn't consider that it wouldn't see that I own the game just because it's on another profile. I mean, it's not like the game is on a different computer. But, whatever. I'll just do without it I guess.

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;31001155]He already has Gmod on the account with all the games?[/QUOTE] Yeah, the only one that isn't on the account is Day of Defeat. Anyway, since I saw how cheap it is right now, I think I'll just buy it again.
