Valve usually revoke games which were bought with stolen credit cards, and the original owner chargeback his money.

Got Watch_Dogs Deluxe Edition revoked because of charging issues.

Got my keys back but then the bad thing happened. Steam forced Uplay to ban the CD keys which are bound to my account. Since Valve doesn't give new keys with a new purchase my Steam account is banned for life for playing Watch_Dogs. I had a discussion with both Steam and Uplay support and neither thinks they're responsible for my problem.

Gee... They should just remove the game from the account. What a crappy system.

Well, it's removed, but keys that have once assigned to your account can't be deleted. I won't get new ones and Valve seems to have missed to tell Uplay to unban the keys...

Try to contact them again and explain? Adding new question to your original ticket perhaps?

There was a 2 week long discussion between me and both support services. Steam support pretends they can't do anything and Uplay refers to Steam support.

That was interesting info. Sucks thought.

I guess that's alot banned from Warlock 2, due to Gamersgate glitch.

Warlock 2 seems to have external CD-key. (http://imgur.com/1PhNk7H)

According to poster above, they ban those CD-keys from those who had their steam copy revoked and don't get reactivated even if you legally buy it.
Your CD-key would be useless, rendering you unable to use it (and whatever game uses keys for, usually for autenticating that you own the game).

most people that uses vpn told me that nothing happened to them, but some said that they got the game revoked after like 2 months , I guess is really just a 50/50

Got 3 games which I got as a present revoked due to some automated process on Steam so my friend contacted Steam, waited for OVER 2 weeks for the Support to answer and provided all proof they wanted but he only got the money back.
They wouldn't replace the keys instead or giving back the money, and that lead to a loss on his part as he bought the games while they were on sale.
To make it all worse, he gave over 15 games to others as he owns a giveaway group and all those games got revoked too. Now imagine having to explain to everyone what happened and all of them having to wait a month to get the games back.
Additional bonus- my friend couldn't replace the games during the last sale as his account was blocked from making purchases...

He got his money back? That's good to know.

Yeah, he got it the minute the games were revoked but couldn't do anything with it. Imagine his state of mind- knowing everyone would be scared and asking what happened, not having any answers and not being able to do anything about it for over 2 weeks.
And thank you for removing his name, don't know if he'd appreciate being discussed without knowing. :)

Yeah, I once bought Game Dev Tycoon for a few cards. I was really surprised it was so cheap, but I didn't ask anything. The guy seemed legit, he had considerable amount of positive feedbacks. Played the game, enjoyed it and after a few months got a notification that the game has been removed from my library. It said something that the game key was stolen, or the game was bought with a stolen credit card.

I got The Crew revoked. It was a pre-order gift that I activated myself before deciding to go for a refund. It's kind of funny when Steam has a pop up windows telling you that you issued a refund for your own game since I obviously know that...

1) LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - won it on SG, was revoked a couple of weeks later. The giveaway maker is perma-banned because this happened multiple times in his giveaways.
2) Warlock 2 Exiled. I was gifted this one, and it got revoked. It was probably from the GG glitch.

Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition, got it from a bundle long time ago then like 6 months later steam removes it. Sent a support ticket in and they said they'd look into it. Get an email back 2 weeks later saying its not on their end, contact the people you purchased it from. I just said screw it, I mean I already beat the game and I got all the cards so meh.

Got my Ethan Carter revoked, because there was a mysterious chargeback somewhere between Valve and the trader's bank. It took a few days to understand where the money was, it ended with the return of the money in his bank account. He instantly bought another Ethan Carter for me, and did the same to each of his customers who where concerned. It was probably related to Steam's new currencies a few months back.
