x-note and Train of Afterlife games revoken from accounts after 6 years - steam restored games

Dev posted here

Nice to see there's an attempt to correct it, at least.

I got my key back today without getting in touch with the dev. I guess He resolved the issue with Steam.

Got the game back in my account already, I'm glad the dev solved it. I hope he won't suffer too much damage from this accident.

I wonder why no one has sued Valve in the US yet. Wikipedia says that the law of exhaustion also applies there so Valve does not have the right to remove someone's game license, especially since it is not even a party to the transaction.
Where are the organizations defending consumer rights?

The game was re-added automagically to my library. The dev has redeemed himself and I change my review to positive.
Still there should be safeguards in place to prevent such rash actions.

Weird, I didn't think it was possible for Steam keys to be reinstated. Never seen it happen when revokes have occured in the past

I have to admit I'm kinda stunned atm. I know it's possible for Valve to reverse this, but they just don't do it. This is the first case I've known of where they actually did it. Now I'm really interested on all the details of what happened.
