Just got a steam report that Austrlian Trip (https://store.steampowered.com/app/757870/Australian_trip/) got revoked.
Don't know what bundle I got it from...
6 May 2018

The game was in two bundles:
- Indie Gala - Monday Motivation Bundle #43
- Otaku Bundle #21
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably the IndieGala bundle.
Huh, it was the Otaku one...

so IndieGala Key (for me) is not part of this revoking (so far)
Thanks for the info

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.

My unused key is still revoked it seems (or it was used by somebody else at some point)
Comment has been collapsed.
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.

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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.

Maximum Entertainment went on a mass revoking spree:
- Soulstice (March 2024 Choice)
- Afterimage (March 2024 Choice)
- Cris Tales (Türkiye/Syria bundle)
- In Sound Mind (August 2022 Choice)
- Rock of Ages 3 (April 2021 Choice)
- Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel (February 2023 Choice)

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 :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That is very odd. And not the first time that Humble keys are revoked but those from Fanatical are not. Makes you wonder why....
Comment has been collapsed.
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)
Comment has been collapsed.
Tested everything, results:
Soulstice: Revoked from HB, WORKED from Fanatical
Afterimage: Revoked from HB, likely to work from Fanatical since it's in an active bundle
Cris Tales: WORKED from Türkiye/Syria bundle, not revoked
Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel: Revoked from HB, likely to work from Fanatical
In Sound Mind: Revoked from HB, WORKED from Fanatical

I've never encoutered this problem until reading this post and checking some keys out. I tested Heaven's Vault and Diplomacy is not an option and they are both showing up as "duplicated" when redeem. Does anyone know if the keys are gone for good or is there any chance they'll unrevoke the keys? Thank you.

Can you un-revoke Steam keys? I thought only Steam/Valve could do that but no I never heard of that but no they are gone
Comment has been collapsed.
according to this comment some keys were unrevoked so I was asking about HB.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, that's Valve. I guess because the developer asked them to reverse his mess.
HB only can ask for new keys (or "force" the publisher/developer to ask Valve to undo what they did, like in the example you gave).

May I suggest that the publishers of the revoked games be added to the Barter notice (if it's possible)? With this feature people could see which publishers tend to revoke keys and activate their keys asap
Comment has been collapsed.
On the item page of that app / sub, you can see both the Developer and the Publisher. The publisher field also preserves the history, in case one app moves from one publisher to another.
Or, do you mean that the Discord notice should also contain the publisher?
Or the whole page of notices?
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean the whole page of notice. In other words, adding another publisher column to the table.
In my experience, if a game of a certain publisher is revoked, then other games of the same publisher are very likely to be revoked too. For example, Jack Move, Breathedge and Black Book, from the same publisher HypeTrain Digital, are among the revoked list. If there's a publisher column, people could just Ctrl+F and check if a publisher has the tendency to revoke keys. Since Humble adds expiry dates to almost every bundle nowadays, this feature could be of great help
Comment has been collapsed.
if a game of a certain publisher is revoked, then other games of the same publisher are very likely to be revoked
This actually happens only for banned games. For regular games, the publisher decides at their own convenience which keys to revoke. Usually this happens after 203 years from them being allocated in bundles. Sometimes, only some batches are revoked, while others will still work even after many years.
However, I think it would be useful to add the publisher info on that page. The problem lies in finding the resources to implement this change, or in other words, convincing the admin to invest time into it. I forwarded your request, but Barter has been in a non-development mode for years (only bug fixes were implemented from time to time), thus I wouldn't get my hopes up.

All the unused keys were revoked 3 months ago: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/ARCFRoT
it's not only DIG btw, also Lequeshop and GoGo bundle is affected.
The dev also raised the price of the game and the DLC to absurd prices.

Comment has been collapsed.
Another version of the complain:
The developer is an obvious scammer, recently raising game's price to absolutely unrealistic levels and now removing keys for it from our libraries, even though they have been acquired like 6 or 7 years ago. The dev should be banned and the keys restored. It's also very disappointing, that Valve doesn't use common sense accepting those key removal requests, even though it can be seen at the first glance, that publisher who request it, are scammers.
Note, that you have to choose from a list a reason for your complain, otherwise it will fail and your input will be lost. Fraud seems the correct choice. Use th following address to fill your complaint about revoked games: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGameIssue/?appid=966160&issueid=101 inserting a correct app Id instead of 966160 in my example, which is the Id for recently revoked Seek Love.

most of these "indie dev" that selling keys to/over DiG have their games for 5 -200 dollars on steam.
and the price is this 60 dollar since aug 2025, because the release discount - so its was always this 60 dollar.

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
