well with an old LazyGuy Starting Like a Boss bundle, I can count at least 3 games that still got stuck in a GL limbo
even worse is when a game finally gets on Steam but the dev is trying to get out of their obligation to give keys
so far it happened with LBA, SanctuaryRPG, Life of Pixel, ....the list can go on and even though these got resolved at the end of the day, it kind of left a very sour taste in my mouth and made me weary of GL bundles

pardon me but which games are we talking about, right now? ^^ I assume you are talking about IndieGala bundles as in general?
i kind of lost track

IG sucks when it comes to giving out keys.. As for Sinister City, that is odd considering the game has been bundled to death since the green-light bundle and even given away free a few times IIRC. I'd ask directly on the steam message boards, can't really see why a dev who has bundled their game so many times wouldn't give out a key for a game someone purchased. I'd also contact IG support, maybe it was an oversight on their end. (edit, nevermind someone answered the question already while I was typing)
The other two you mentioned aren't actually on steam yet, occasionally a game will get greenlit then never make it onto steam for one reason or another, I'd suspect that's the case with those two games. Maybe they'll eventually get put on steam, maybe not..
Some developers try to skip out on the promise of a key, it normally ends up very badly depending upon how well known it is..
I can recall numerous devs who didn't give keys, Hippocampel, The Body Changer, Uprising 44, Deep Black Reloaded, One Final Breath, and many others, normally after the dev gets hit up with loads of negative attention they ultimately change their mind, but normally the damage is done by that point. It's worth noting that most of the games that try to not give keys suck anyway, and the lack of keys is more to do with the developer not wanting a bunch of negative reviews than anything else..

Sinister City: it did gave keys, through a bit obscure method tho.
Hunter's Trophy 2 - America: I think it got canceled or something like that.
The Girl and the Robot: my guess is that it got stuck in development hell.
I also bought that bundle.

Did anyone buy the Greenlight Bundle #1 from Indiegala?
The thing is we were not given a steam key for 3 games on it:
I guess this happened before with other greenlight bundles? I sent an email about this to Indiegala's Support on November and they've told me they sent an email to the devs asking for the keys. I didn't get any other email, and still no keys...
Thank you all for your comments!
