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)

I'll try the rest of my keys from those bundles soon and edit in any results, was basically just doing a few from each to try and find something that works.
So far all my unredeemed keys from Cubic bundles older than the Long Dozen Bundle (November 2016) dont work.
After checking those I was able to redeem some unused keys from the Vacation Bundle and August Cubic Bundle 2 so anything from bundles newer than the Vacation Bundle (July 2017) might be ok.
It's possible that their website was hacked and had a bunch of keys stolen, I wouldn't be surprised if some accounts were compromised in that 8 month period and they either didn't know or didn't say anything.

NEO-NOW from IndieGala Indiezone bundle, key just revealed and is a dupe

Comment has been collapsed.

I looked into this a little while ago when a GA of mine for NEO-NOW (IndieGala Hump Day 26) was a duplicate key. Apparently the IndieGala keys went bad a long time ago, and were replaced quickly. However, it was so long ago that they don't have replacements any more, so if the original (bad) key wasn't replaced back then, it's almost certainly bad now. It was on sale for 49 cents, though, as it is now, so I just bought a new one for the GA winner.

News for Octave. Should be also valid for Little Kite (I've just checked an unused key from Otaku Bundle #17 and it's a dupe) and maybe Repentant, both from the same developer. I don't know if he also revoked the Steam keys for the OST of Little Kite.

Hey. Sorry for the late reply.
These bundles were held several years ago. Unused keys were not returned to me, and could be sold on unofficial sites, so now, after a few years, all keys have been revoked. If you bought a bundle and still have not activated the game - please write me a private message, or on Twitter.

Just activated Repentant from Indiegala Friday Special #73 and one of two keys I had for Little Kite from Hump Day 45.
The other key for Little Kite did not work though nor did the keys for Octave so I messaged the dev on Twitter, now just have to wait and see.

Existentia keys have been revoked from other bundles, too. I checked a couple of unrevealed ones I had from DIG Super Bundle 77 and they were dupes.

I had one spare key for from the Beasts Battle from the NEON CUBIC Bundle and it worked fine.

GROOVY keys from GameBundle.com's The Motley GameBundle are dupes too.

This doesn't mean that the bundled keys are invalidated, unless the devs specifically decide to do so.

TLDR: says keys were stolen, revoked all unused keys and some keys that were never on sale (those are the ones getting removed from libraries). You may ask the dev for a replacement.

See also: http://indiegamestand.com/ - info about stolen keys TLDR: They lost money, they lost servers, they don't know what happened to keys and said the only solution for developers is to revoke the keys.

I'm not sure if this counts as a revocation, but all unclaimed keys (because they were "temporarily exhausted") for macdows 95 are now gone for good since Humble Bundle removed the game from the JUNE 2019 Monthly Bundle purchase page.

Only a week ago I asked support when I could finally get my key for Ethereal and Roombo... got told to have patience. Week later: they just remove them from account. Something tells me... they can't just do that.

IMO this (and evidently the other humble originals removed) is a revocation of some kind: Customers were told at some point, whether upon a monthly's go-live or after the fact, that they were entitled to a key without any stipulation of "while supplies last" but then Humble revoked the ability to redeem the keys.

I'd be curious to hear Lilly's thoughts on this. "keys ran out" is definitely accurate for macdows 95, but I don't know if there is a more accurate label for the other originals with keys that were in monthlies - Perhaps "limited time key offer", given that Humble pulled the plug on many or all key offerings for Humble Originals in monthlies?

Its not a good move from them and i can tell you that, i had a revelead Key for roombo and didnt activate it for resons of waiting for the game to go out of the black list that Steam dont count it for their achievements.. and that Key is also gone, something that i have revelead for myself, they just removed everything about originals from their pages/links

I'm pretty sure that this isn't a decision by HB but by the developer not wanting to give his game away for free anymore on Steam. Macdows 95 Steam store page has the developer's name as the Publisher and not HB. Not sure if that's always been the case.

As far as Roomba and Ethereal goes.. Roomba is now published under the developer, Samurai Punk and Ethereal's publisher is now Nonsense Arts.

Well there's now a renewed promise recently from the Roomba dev to request keys, so IMO all this is not necessarily an issue with change of publisher, nor did the Ethereal's dev note mention that. Additionally, barter lists at least two of these (Macdows 95 and Ethereal) as having run out of keys in comparable time frames (7 weeks ago).

So I posted an FYI to to /r/gamedeals, and now I think the list of removed/ran out of keys from HB has grown into this:

  • Macdows 95 (in June 2019 monthly)

  • Ethereal (in Sept 2018 monthly)

  • Roombo: First Blood (in January 2019 monthly)

  • A Short Hike (in April 2019 monthly, per reddit)

  • Fortune-499 (in Feb 2018 monthly, per reddit)

All are ID'd in barter as having run out of keys, and many are verified as no longer visible in key/purchases pages.

It would not surprise me if Humble did not notify some or all these devs of keys running out, and is tired of waiting for keys and/or getting a bunch of support tickets, so therefore they started removing the games from key/purchase pages.

Support came back with:

Hello there,

I sincerely apologize for any frustration that the wait of receiving your key may have caused. While I am happy to have some new information on the situation, I'm afraid that it won't be what we were hoping.

First, I'd like to recap the situation. The game you are writing in about was a Humble Original, offered in one of the month's in our Humble Monthly. The game was provided only as a DRM-free build on the download page for that month and is still available there today. A few months after that Month's content was revealed, the developer released their Humble Original on Steam. After some internal discussion, we thought it would be a nice bonus for subscribers to also get one of these Steam keys, which we quickly implemented.

We unfortunately underestimated the popularity of these keys and quickly ran out. We have been working for the past weeks to try and secure more keys for those who were unable to get one, but we have been unable to do so. At this point in time, we are sorry to say that we will not be able to provide a Steam key for these games. I know that this is not at all what we wanted to happen and I am very sorry for this outcome.

Again, the game is still available via DRM-free download in your library and all of the content that you've paid for is still available. These keys were meant to be a free bonus, which we have not been able to completely fill. We are truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience that this has caused. If there are any other questions or concerns, please let me know. Otherwise I hope you have a happy holiday season!

Other bundled games from the same developer (Music Racer, Joy Pony and Behind The Door) seem to work fine.
