Here is a solution to a problem I had last year:

Question: My steam game library has grown quite large and includes games that I no longer want. How do I get rid of them?

Answer: Now this question may seem arbitrary but many people have had it. Imagine buying a game on impulse and finding some offensive content in it (think the Bioshock infinite incident a few month ago) or that it's so embarrassing you want to get rid of it (e.g. Drug wars).

To resolve this: Log a support ticket with valve (there is no support category that matches this ticket so pick any one ;) ) and mention that you want the game removed from your account on the grounds of the Steam Subscriber Agreement point 10 section B that states "You may cease use of a Subscription at any time or, if you choose, you may request that we terminate your access to a Subscription. ". Just note that you WILL need to rebuy the game if change your mind and that bundle games can't be cancelled individually. I did this before, it takes about 2-5 days for the ticket to get processed, they will usually ask you to confirm that you understand you can't reverse the action before proceeding. That's that. :)

Or you could just create a custom list without those "offensive"(lol) games.
 
I have my favourites list as the page on display with my games. Anything I don't want to play in the foreseeable future or don't want to lay eyes on just need not be set as a favourite.

Are people honestly this neurotic?
 
Is it possible to gift the games to someone else? Or to transfer them to another account?
 
They should make it so that you can permanently give games away.
No they shouldn't. The secondhand market for Steam games would cripple the PC games industry. Between sales and sites like G2A and CDKeys, PC games are cheap enough already.
