Anyone else has this problem?

What's the deal? Did the devs retroactively invalidate a bunch of keys for a bundle that happened more than 3 years ago?

EDIT: It was in the Every Monday Bundle 47 from IndieGala. So my key must have come from that bundle.

EDIT2: Ok, so I am more or less sure I didn't get it from the IndieGala bundle, because I didn't buy one that day, judging by my e-mails. So I most likely got it in a trade. The dev also answered on his Steam forum and told me he revoked keys people got from him by impersonating critics/youtubers. I guess I got it from one of those people (I certainly didn't do something like that myself).

EDIT3: The dev not only reacted super quick to my thread, he also just sent me a new key. Really can't complain about this guy. :)

Hm, have to wait for this until evening to check. Well, there have been hundreds of free keys back then as the game released. Not sure where they came from. But maybe they decided to just invalidate all of them?

Didn't even know about the free keys (or don't remember). Maybe I got one of those. In any case it is a shitty move to revoke all those now, after 3 years. No matter where they are from.

I know a little bit more now (see edited OP), and I think we are just talking about a few incidents. So it's not like there were 1000s of keys revoked. Probably just a few, and I am one of the unluckly traders who got one of those. So the dev's reputation won't suffer that much.

EDIT: The dev just sent me a new key via PM. Case solved, as far as I'm concerned. :)

shady move from developer, if he made giveaways with thousands keys (like this one) why he revoked keys now?

Well, he says those are keys that people got by impersonating critics/youtubers. So I kind of get it that he does that. He also gave me a new key, which was a nice move. He also said he didn't revoke any keys from bundles or giveaways. Just the ones that people got by lying to him.
