Lists to use:

Unused Keys Revoked: https://barter.vg/notices/513
Revoked (Dev): https://barter.vg/notices/362
Revoked (DMCA): https://barter.vg/notices/361
Duplicates: https://barter.vg/notices/372

If you want this information for one game specifically, you can find it under the "Notices" section for the Barter entry of that game.
(Example: https://barter.vg/i/42708/ then scroll down to "Notices": you'll see the red notice "Revoked (Dev) ⌫"; mouseovering it will give you some more info)

Thanks to everyone who reported their key revocations here. Please continue reporting them here. You folks are awesome!


Due to character limit, time constraints and having to manually create the chart rows, it's very difficult to keep a list on revocations on SteamGifts. Since I am the one managing these notices on Barter anyway, I thought it would be convenient to centralize the reports from SteamGifts and trade offers into one place and Barter proved to be a good solution for that because of its bundles and game database.

The below lists will not be updated on SG any more, but all your reports will be reflected on Barter, so please continue reporting them.

Previous links, for reference:
A list of games completely revoked from your library after activation
A list of games whose unredeemed keys were revoked (the big chart that was previously in this thread was moved here)
More games with invalidated keys can be found here.

Clinically Dead keys from Torment Bundle have been revoked by the publisher according to Fanatical support.

Maybe you could ask in the Steam forum of the game? Eventually, the devs can give you a reason for the revoked key.

I activated a key from a trade on 16/09/2023. The key was purportedly from Fanatical (possibly a mystery key imho).
Also, I just checked, the game is sold on Plati by seller SteamMarket for a cheap price (who, by experience, is very reliable, so those keys are likely still working). Those keys may come from one of the two cited bundles.

These keys were stolen by a scammer who volunteered to help me with setting up the page, a long time ago.

So this is the source of all my woes. A lot of things make sense now.

Used to buy a lot of bundles from 2012-18 then stopped. Was sitting on a large key list of 5000+ saved as a simple text document since then and only in the last month or so finally started sorting through it. Thought I might as well farm some cards on alts etc. I've had so many dupes when trying to activate, and I didn't know the source of each key as it's not a record I ever kept.

Did start to try and figure things out and it was looking like a ton came from old DIG bundles, so these lists at barter.vg are filling in a lot of gaps.

Tried to check at the various sites to cross reference against keys but was struggling. Groupees gone, Indie Gala somehow lost all all record of keys associated with my account but have since restored some after chatting with them, and DIG closed my account for inactivity so it was a little tricky figuring out where all the dupes/non working keys were from if games had been in bundles on different sites.

Golden Light seems revoked all the unused keys outside of Steam, had 3 keys and people reporting all of them not working and already redeemed. I checked the stores and the devs delisted the game on every stores except for Steam. Can anyone confirm this?

The publisher, Hypetrain Digital, has an ugly habit of revoking unused keys for many games without warning. It's a shame, they publish a lot of good games. I try not to support them, where possible.

I just realized the devs of this game, Mr. Pink, revoked every single sold keys of his games outside of Steam. All of Mr. Pink's keys should be listed as unused keys revoked on barter. I'm feeling the lack of digital store for his games is due to repeated unauthorized revoke without stores' consent.

FYI, HypeTrain Digital was the publisher for this game - it's now showing Mr. Pink as the publisher as well as the dev. When the Humble keys were revoked, the publisher was definitely HypeTrain.

Maybe it's something to do with the publisher contract.

My hope is that they found out what HypeTrain was up to and dumped them for it! But who knows.

This seems not to be true for all the keys. I have just used the key for Golden Light from 11.2023 - Fanatical - Birthday Mystery Bundle. It worked fine. The key way reveled in 2023, so unused for 2 years.

Thanks for the report, the 3 keys I've got were all from Humble, maybe Fanatical keys are not affected.

Oh no, hoping some of the Fobia keys in the Sept train still work!

Anyway, y'all who know this as common knowledge is gonna think this is a dumb comment, but this gave me occasion to check something I've always been curious about, and, indeed, my In Sound Mind key from fanatical last November still worked :)

That is very odd. And not the first time that Humble keys are revoked but those from Fanatical are not. Makes you wonder why....

Oh cool, glad it strikes you as curious too 😁

I always assumed HB keys were likely to get revoked and Fanatical less so, which is doubtless the wording of their contracts, since HB keys are such high quantity of sale, but this was the first occasion I noticed where I could check it (e.g., had a Fanatical key on hand from before the HB ones got revoked and it was a game I kinda wanted in my library)
