Bomb Royale was revoked from my account today and i saw that a few months ago they gave it away at giveaway.su, did it happen to anyone else?

I just looked took a moment to look into this to see what I could find. Apparently the developer said that they didn't give DIG permission to sell their game.

It seems all unused keys for A Case of Distrust were reused by the Dev. Mine now says activated on another account.
Edit: Seems only keys revealed early are affected

Confirm that my key (from August 2020 Choice) was reused. Just tried to redeem and Steam noted that it was already redeemed by another account.

I did a giveaway for "A Case of Distrust" from Humble Choice Bundle August 2020 and the key were revoked (or duplicated). Since I bought the bundle myself and I'm sure I didn't use, I came to the only possible conclusion: developers revoked unredeemed keys.

There are a lot of us (see last few posts on the SG Humble Choice August 2020 discussion). I contacted HB and have had to verify ownership of my Humble account before they will send me a new key (answered their email yesterday so still waiting to see what happens). The developer or publisher apparently either inactivated or resold a batch of keys which affected some Humble August 2020 Choice bundle buyers. I think the developer is working with Humble to address this.

From what I understand, Humble only assign a key to you once you choose the game. So if you only now (or in the last few days) choose A Case of Distrust as one of your games, then you will get a working key. The ones who found their keys would not work were those who had selected the game (and therefore had a specific key assigned) months ago. Somehow, that older batch of keys have now been revoked or reused. There are comments on the Humble August 2020 Choice discussion/deal page from people who saw my initial comment, redeemed their key and it worked. Your key should be okay when you finally redeem it (but maybe reach out to Humble, to make sure before redeeming :)

And .... Humble have sent me a link to redeem a new key for A Case of Distrust. Thank god, the requirements for proving my Humble account ownership put me into a sweat (and the screenshots and paper chase took an hour). Looks like Humble and the developer/publisher are working together so you too can get a replacement if you approach Humble Support.

Same here (I only have one). I'm trying to work things out with the devs, who say they did not revoke the keys.

Hi Shakti, just wondering... is there a google doc that is updated with this info??
THANKs for all the work you do to help the Steamgifts community!
Comment has been collapsed.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Back in December I wanted to move all this info on Github. This has the advantage of not being limited by the length of the content, but you can't easily see what you won and the list has to still be compiled manually.
While thinking of it more, I came up with the idea of integrating this into Barter - since a lot of SG users are on Barter anyway, plus those that aren't can still see game ownership using the SWI userscript. Barter already has all this info (and more) at hand: which of these bundles had keys revoked or not, SteamDB links, collections ownership (library / tradeables), user reports of duplicate keys etc - it would all be automatically centralized (apart from someone actually tagging these games accordingly, based on the reports in this thread - which will be me).
So basically I had this in plan since the beginning of the year, and even if this is a priority for me, it does takes some time to implement it and there are other things needed to be done first in preparation for this. Hold on a little longer, we're working on it.

God of Failure is from Axyos Games. One of their standard cons is to disable all keys and then claim they didn't; they first did this with Axyos, their initial game, and then played every dirty trick in the dirty dev book when customers were furious. Disabled purchasing, claimed it was a different game, deleted comments, the whole shebang.

Well, you never know. Maybe they learned something from the last debacles. Never hurts to try.
There was a lot of anger about it back in the day; Axyos was one of the first to revoke keys. Me personally, I will never trust them or knowingly buy a product of theirs. Here's some of the chat from the time:

Yep! I just got hit with that one. I let the giveaway creator know that the key was revoked.

Overfall was revoked from Fanatical Origins Bundle
Also confirmed on Reddit - Fanatical has responded, and posted a dedicated support article on it.
I couldn't find any info about either of the indie devs going out of business or anything like that. In fact, one of them got investment funding recently
[SG EDIT:]
Hi Folks,
The cd-key situation is like this; years ago through a publisher, we made a deal to make Overfall known for wider audiences. This "publisher" wanted approx. 30k keys from us and said they were going to pay us after-sales. Unfortunately, we got scammed by them and couldn't receive payment. On top of that, we witnessed that these keys were being sold on fraud sites. This is why we had to revoke them.
We're very well aware that you're aggrieved. To make things sorted out we want to give the keys you got from them back again; please fill out the form below so we can send you your fresh keys through e-mail.
Please don't forget that trusting 3rd party sites and not buying the game directly from Steam has consequences sometimes; we learned it the hard way.
Take care all.
https://forms.gle/KhwizpYnrPGL2KQC8
Edit: We're not talking about Fanatical with the whole fraud situation, we're in fact in contact with them to make things easier for you guys.
Edit2: There is a misunderstanding about Fanatical because many of the keys that we sent were used for their bundles and deals. Fanatical was not among the "other fraud sites" that we mentioned before, we never blamed them - never will. After getting in contact, instead of making you fill the form (which was an immediate solution patch attempt to those who got their keys revoked), we decided to provide Fanatical all the keys that got revoked from their bundles, and they'll make sure you'll receive them in the near future. We're geniunely very sorry to have this happen to you guys and wanted to fix it as soon as possible.

From Fanatical Customer Service regarding resolution of the Overfall revocation from the Origins Bundle:
Update 6th April, 11:51
We having been working with our licensors over the weekend and now have replacement keys from the developers of the game.
Our site team are in the process of providing a replacement key to your customer account at fanatical.com. Once your key has been replaced our system will email you to let you know this has been done.
Fanatical.com is an authorized site and only sell legitimate keys. To be clear, what has happened is that our keys were accidentally cancelled as part of clean-up operation.
Developer's prior official response was here on Steam forums.
I personally received this Fanatical email with link to the order with replacement key, which looks like this:
Subject: Your new Overfall Steam key is in your Fanatical account
Your new Overfall Steam Key
In 2018, you purchased a Steam key from Fanatical (formerly Bundle Stars) for Overfall. These were revoked over the weekend on Steam.
We have now replaced your Overfall Steam key in your Fanatical account. Please click the button below to go directly to your new key.
VIEW ORDER [link]
We once again confirm that Fanatical was never one of the retailers that the developer claimed had sold keys fraudulently and as a result of this we have received new keys that are now in your account.
As we have confirmed, at Fanatical we continue to pride ourselves in only supplying our customers with fully licensed products and at no point have we deviated from this. We continue to act with integrity, with publishers and developers, to provide you with great deals on Steam games.
Thank you for your patience with this matter and thank you for continuing to be a customer of Fanatical.

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.
