Game revokes in trading

Laugh out loud and move on.

Is it this game by chance?

Well, if you are compensating him, then it's based on how much the trade was worth, which would have been probably a whole $1.50
Or you could tell him to stick it.

EDIT: Just saw the guy's comment - you basically did a FREE trade, and yet he's demanding compensation? you owe him:

8c

I'm surprised you even managed to trade away such a worthless key. And I'm also surprised that your trade partner finds it worth his time to demand compensation for it. I'm curious, what did you receive in exchange?

all trades are final.

noone owes u anything after trading lol, not your bad that some key was revorked.

If the key got revoked by the developer you can try contacting the shop where you bought it and they should give you a replacement key.

15 months?
You don't owe them anything. It's out of your control and the warranty period ran out ages ago ;)

This thief stole my game, don't ever trust him! If he got walked away, then it implies everybody could get some shady keys to trick good people into an unfair trade! This is definitely wrong!

This is unethical and you knew it! Maybe you don't because you are a fucking petty thief. If this was accepted, every fucking dev should steal from other traders by revoking the key the moment they seem trade has been marked complete by the other party.

i love how mad the dude is about this worthless trade

This is not about how much the game is worth! It's about being honest and right!

Imagine losing your account over a 10c game for acting out in the forums against someone who had nothing to do with your key being revoked smh

Just ignore it, you could also appeal for the feedback and I'm pretty sure the ST council will go in your favor considering the game in question, the date of the trade and the reason it's being revoked... Now.

If they were nice about it I'd probably send them another key, but this guy seems like a jerk.

Getting some thoughts in through the spamming he did^^:

First I am not a Lawyer, so this is not legal advice, but only my interpretation based on my knowledge of our law. That said: "our law" in this case would be German one. But since such laws are all based on the same EU guidelines, you can expect it to be the roughly the same for all of the EU.

Is EU law relevant for you? If the other side is located in the EU: yes, if not: maybe? Since Canada is seen as equal in protective rights, I would expect the laws in Canada to be alike.

Most important in this case trading is the same as selling. So you are clearly inside of the 2 year warranty phase (I wonder how some say 15 months is a long time?Maybe it is less in Canada?). Now as a private person you can get rid of it by declaring it without warranty before the trade, but still that would not get you out of an unexpected lose of value situation.

Result would be: reverse of the trade, a new key or money at the level of value lost of the key.

Of cause you would have the same rights against your key source.

So far, so easy... let's get to the complicated part:

Was the key stolen in the first place? Or was it misappropriated? If the later the key removal on steam wasn't ok, and you would be out of the woods (unless it was reasonably clear to see by an average buyer, that the key was fraudulent at the moment when you got it(or if you were the one misappropriating)), since it's between steam and user.

If the key was stolen, then you never legally owned it and a big can of worms get opened. So big that I don't want to go down that road.
But I see the chance, that the keys were actually stolen, as very very very small; In the same way I see the chance that someone would take legal actions against you (especially in some regions you need a minimal value or you would have to jump through a few hoops before.).

Overall I think you are in the clear, and it is between steam and the other party. But still: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
Also interpretation of the law chances all the time, and this stuff is still at a point, that we would call Neuland here (or in english virgin soil).

Don't post trade drama here.
