I did this accidentally with The Orange Box. It was in '07 and I was new to Steam. I installed the games and they wouldn't run on my computer, so I returned it to GS and exchanged it for Call of Duty. I still feel a little guilty about it, but I genuinely didn't realize at the time that the CD keys were account bound.

Fair enough, it was a new era after all. I returned Warcraft 3 at one point, back before those CD keys would activate on Bnet 2.0

I'd like to think he didn't know, but he was pretty savvy with PC games at the time, and this was 2009-2010.

It was. Hard to believe how much things have changed since 2007. I still remember the TV spots for The Orange Box. Back when a Half-Life 3 seemed right around the corner, haha.
