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.

Despite both of the shops not being trustworthy, I'm 99% sure it's about Back to basics publisher himself. You can read more about this issue on 14th page, even fanatical/groupees/indiegala keys were all revoked

I'm not sure if this game was mentioned here... I might be blind but I didn't see anything about it. O_o

Lost Moon (renamed as Enigmoon), my key from Indie Gala's Lethal Mix bundle was duped.

If anyone has an old Lost Moon key they got from a bundle, be it Lethal Mix or another one, could you try to redeem it? I'm wondering if all unused keys from past bundles would turn out to be duped.

If anyone else is experiencing this issue, please find your original receipt or invoice, and the key number if you have it, and forward it to support [at] volcanicgames [dot] com and I'll happily issue a replacement key.
.
Some of these bundles were very old (like 3 years ago), or were from companies like Chrono.gg which are now out of business. So, we need to manually reissue the keys to original buyers, if the keys were not activated in that time.
.
This does not affect anyone who has already activated their key.

To anyone interested.
Keys for V-Rally 4 that I bought in the All Stars 13 bundle from Fanatical in march are now expired. That's keyS, as in plural. Multiple. I got a few of those bundles, and tried to make a multiple copy giveaway recently, only to find out the keys no longer work.

Well... technically all the bundles I bought were "for my own use" as per their Terms of Service. I don't know if someone on the other end will have some questions about that. V-Rally 4 isn't in my opinion worth finding out how reliable is their customer support. A better game... I could consider raising a fuss. This example - I'll just forget about it eventually.

afaik Fanatical is aware of steamgifts and considers it relatively benign. Pretty sure their main concern for enforcing that personal use clause is to go against people buying bundles and reselling for profit on third party sites unapproved by Steam / Valve.

Fanatical don't care about you giving games away on SG. They've even posted on here themselves from time to time.

I can confirm also, the V-Rally 4 key from the All Stars 13 bundle did not work for me.

(Though, the message I got when trying to redeem was "this key has been activated by another Steam account," which seems a bit odd... unless that's the message that comes up for all revoked keys and I am just living under a rock!)

Why is it possible to revoke keys after 2 years in the first place? I don't get it

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I think it's very unlikely Indiegala knows what's going on with these old keys they're giving out - there are quite a lot of them that come already used or perhaps revoked by publisher (like Chaos Engine for example - there are plenty reports of duped keys won, but not a single report of a working key). Also, they officially stopped replacing the dupes this year, citing false reports from users trying to get extra freebies this way (not sure how true that is, since, when I asked about dupes, support just asked me how many I needed and provided that number of random keys, without any confirmation of which keys were bad needed. Actually that sounds awfully exploitable too, so perhaps they didn't want to talk about giving random people dozens of keys just for asking).
Anyway, since it must've been the publishers, who revoked the keys, I'll see if there's any response on the games' Steam discussions first (and maybe try to reach out to them on twitter?). If nothing comes out of it, maybe then I'll try my luck with IG's support on the matter.

Once upon a time they used to actually have decent support the few times I needed it, even replacing keys from dishonest devs with at least some silly grab-bag game.

Once upon a time, I also bought pretty much every single bundle they released.

Times changed, dirty devs reneging and revoking paid-for keys increased and IG decided 'not our problem'.

So, now I haven't spent a dime there in years and probably never will again.

If you bought a power adapter 30 months ago, and finally go to use the thing only to find it doesn't work... you can't blame the retail store if they won't replace it under the 2 year warranty it had. Stores have to set limitations.

I think that this has been already debated a few times on SG regarding physical != digital and ownership != right to use (license).

FilthySouls would still have a (broken) power adapter that he can try to fix himself (or by someone else), tear apart to salvage parts, resell it cheaper "for spare parts" or use it as a paperweight. He'd still own the "goods" he bought.

He still has a key he can throw around ;)
I was actually talking about expecting support for something that was outside of reasonable warranty coverage, not the ownership aspect. So yeah, pipe up all you want, but you missed my point entirely.
