A list of games whose unredeemed keys were revoked 💔

Added, thank you!

Groupees is in this list because of the devs being jackasses, not because of any spurious mal-intentions of Groupees.
Also, just because Groupees game bundles lately have been pretty crap, doesn't mean Groupees as a company made up of human beings are suddenly horrible people.
I can't speak for the other sites, but I can tell you in at least a few of those cases it's also because the devs have been jerks as well.
A little civil communication can go a long way to resolving issues in the best way, than people shooting from the hip, and then trying to clean up the mess afterwards. I know this all too well, I suffer from making snap-judgments every day of my life.

Notice how it's all basically Otaku, Go Go Bundle, Indie Gala, and Groupees. That's not a coincidence.

The trend you should actually be seeing is how its now a risk occurring at literally every bundle site except for Humble--yet.

But, yeah it's not coincidence. The smaller companies dealing with the smaller (and less reputable) developers tend to be the ones that get scammed most often by those parties who grew increasingly comfortable with having their cake and eating it too since legal recourse is so impractical from both those companies and customers.

But don't worry---there are other cases at Fanatical to be added!

The issue is, and always has been, that letting these things go unchecked only contributes to them occurring more often, as has been happening. In the past I use to say the only place this never happens are Humble and Bundle Stars, but obviously that has changed now. The same way this didn't use to happen nearly as much---though it has been happening for a long time now. Usually developers are able to fly under the radar by only stealing from customers say a year or so after the bundles sold, since there are fewer people to notice the keys legally purchased were revoked. It's just as much intentional destruction of property for their own benefit, but without enough people shouting at the time it happens the issue falls into the cracks and a lot of developers have actually get away with their criminal behavior.

Fanatical is in there once with Ghoulboy but that is known to be an error on the part of the dev.

LOL.

If by "known to be an error" you still mean to say they knowingly and intentionally revoked the keys from legal purchases at Fanatical they approved and supplied at the time because it had become convenient for them to wipe out the second hand market-place---then you could call it that. I mean, that'd be an incredibly misleading way to phrase things I think, but that always the trouble with words like error/mistake that say so much while saying nothing at all.

If you meant that someone hit the wrong button like that implies it was never meant to happen---then oh no. Not at all. They did exactly as originally desired in revoking those keys.

They always say oops, but it's almost always "it was a mistake" as in "I shouldn't have robbed that bank," not "I hit the 3rd floor on the elevator instead of the 5th" like gets implied.

The same excuse (and repeating process) occurs in nigh-every example these days, like a step in a dance routine. That's part of the hoodwink that lets these things keep happening. It works as an inference from their comments, but the real value comes when picking it up from other people who might've inferred it. It's this short-hand telephone version of "what happened" where the words take on a life of their own.

This is why I REALLY hate people using the words "erorr" and "mistake" and "accident" around these events at all. They are so incredibly vague and misleading that just repeating those phrases often enough will let the go-to story warp to whatever pure conjecture and imagination serves the moment and they come to represent anything except for what actually happened.

lol

so very true

Exactly my thoughts xD

Contact your GroupBuy host and ask them if they received replacement keys for the whole group buy batch. It's possible that the don't even know that a game was revoked, so it's always better to ask first.
I do my group buys with Manueluis usually and he always contacts the developer and sends us replacement keys when something is revoked. I don't know in how far the other hosts do this too.

Any idea which bundle was it from? the Bonus Bundle or the Indie Bundle?
Might be both though...

Added, thanks!

Soul Axiom wasn't from a Humble Bundle, was it?

Looks like the devs for The Away Team will provide a new key if you have the receipt.

Wish I checked this thread before creating a giveaway for it. :/

Forced reviews for shit games to get the payed stuff back ? :-D
I hope a lot click the REPORT flag in the steam store after the revoke of there keys.

You find it at the games store page on the right side when you scroll a bit down.

Wow, thanks for the heads up!

I hope my two thorough, extremely negative reviews for these two games (March and July 2018!) won't be revoked too =P
