Developer thinks they got scammed and decides "I don't want to be scammed" so they let their customers be scammed instead. Conveniently this happens after the 180 days that PayPal allows for opening disputes. Want a new copy? Just pay $8 (twice the price they used to charge) for a Steam key or for only $35 you can get a LIMITED EDITION physical copy! Now Ghoulboy can waste space in real life, not just in your Steam library!

Same here, mine was from gogobundle, so I guess there's not much I can do.

by that chart-developer/publisher increased the price TWICE?!?
IN A month time period?WOW,just WOW
And then the icing on the cake-he revoked 99% of the keys?
Another shit developer-another 1 on the list of developers/publishers I will NEVER buy their games

Got mine from Go Go Bundle #56 and it was revoked, I guess I should have been expecting that. It's one of the only bundle I bought from them in the last 6 months. Wonder how much games will be left from it in the end ;) I guess there's nothing much to do about it anyway...

Developer just responded:
"Hi guys. Sorry for this This is my fault. I wanted to ban some keys because I thought it was being used without permission. But the keys I gave to the bundle companies have been canceled. I didn't know it would lead to such a conclusion. I request from steam how I remove revokes from keys. Please understand. I had no bad intentions."

It was Evolvation. But yeah, probably takes some time to work this one out. Maybe he has enough leftover keys to reimburse all parties involved since i doubt Steam will generate new ones in cases like this.

Just write an email to the dev (with the old key) and see what happens.

That's good to hear. I guess there is still a long way to go for the dev to fix it for everyone, since so many sites and bundles were affected.

Developer responds again:
"Hi guys. My english not good but I will try. I sended lots of keys to indie bundle company. They sell them. But they didnt send me lots of unused keys for 4 months. I wanted revoke to the keys. But this is my first key revoke operation. All past keys cancelled. I didnt know it would. Sorry again.it was not purposely made."

as I said on the other topic, my ghoulboy key was revoked too but Steam told me that it was activated on my account before the gogobundle creation, so it likely came from the Fanatical one

Is there a way to read already closed system messages (like the removal notification) again after it was already closed?

The e-mail mentioned above was serkanbakar81@gmail.com - probably best to just say your game got revoked and not mention you won the game in a giveaway as that will likely just lead to unnecessary confusion...

Thanks for the heads up. I emailed the developer and have 5 new keys. I just hope they work as some have said even the new keys have been revoked or are dupes.

This might already have been mentioned (didn't read all of the responses), but this is posted on the purchase page:
"Revokes keys!!
Hi guys. Sorry for this revoke keys problem. This is my fault. I wanted to ban some keys because I thought it was being used without permission. But the keys that I gave it to bundle companies have been cancelled. I didn't know it would lead to such a conclusion. I emailed to steam how I remove revokes from keys. I hope they will help. Please understand. I had no bad intentions. "

Dev responded to my email within 1 hour but my replacement key was already used. Now it's time to wait for a replacement replacement key :P
Edit: Got my second replacement this morning and it worked

Dev provided an E-mail to contact him, took only a few minutes to get a key back.
So check the sticky on the Steam forums of the game.
