A less known deactivation of unused keys for Zombie Office Politics:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/412860/announcements/detail/1586822007305970948
This game came up just now in the removed game group, and I came across this when I was checking why the release date was 2018 but the game was bundled in 2017

The dev also made a news post a few days ago that they're removing this game from Steam and that the last day will be June 17th.
https://steamcommunity.com/games/412860/announcements/detail/1604884597857395510
If anyone is interested in trying to get replacement keys after all this time I would suggest they do so asap since after the 17th I would imagine the dev wont be able to generate any more keys.

keys were not used for the purposes for which they were created?
i don't get it
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds like either they wanted real promotion, not "click and forget" giveaway, or they created keys, but instead of being gave-away, some part of them was sold.
Comment has been collapsed.
They already explained it, they wanted the social media scam disguised as a giveaway to get them followers but whoever they gave the keys to used them for personal gain instead.

Unused keys for Catorize ✘ 🂡 🎁︎ from IndieGala - Friday Special #25 have been invalidated
Also want to point this out that absolutely all existing unused keys were invalidated as well, including the ones from tremorgames and any kinds of grey markets.

Looks like they revoked all the keys in August last year if the posts in the games Steam discussion are anything to go by.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/418960/discussions/
The dev didnt reply to any of the posts so I'd say they aren't going to give anyone replacement keys.

Sapper's Bad Dream originally acquired via DIG Greenlight bundle
Go Mission Space travel Also acquired from DIG Greenlight bundle
Miracles another one from Dig Bundles
Gravity Ball not sure where I acquired but 2 x duplicates which shouldn't have been
both give Duplicate messages when I try to redeem them... both keys should have been working, not sure if it was just a mix up on DIG or something else but either way.. I keep pretty good track of keys I've redeemed and both should have been working..

I was able to test only Gravity Ball from Go Go Bundle Mega #18 and indeed it turned out to be a dupe.

I tried 5 keys of Gravity Ball from GGB Mega 18 and all were dupe now for me as well
Go Mission Space Travel key from DIG super bundle 69 did work for me just now on alt account

I am unable to find anything called "Miracles", could you please double check the title or just post the key here since it's a dupe anyway? This way I could see what exactly the app id is.

All my unused keys of SurvivalZ Battlegrounds from Go Go Bundle Mega #18 are dupes now
Same publisher as Gravity Ball (RewindApp) so any other games from this publisher should be suspect, I think (I'm on mobile now so I can't easily check)

“Unused keys for Retro Sphere seems to be duplicates... When I asked support, they provided me with another key, but that one was also duplicate. Second time they provide me with a “grab a bag” game.”

I just found out about this. "My guy" from Groupees seems to be different one. He keeps sending me duplicate keys for two days with "let's keep trying" motto :)

It's the same developer of What's under your blanket !? and What's under your blanket 2 !?. Both games have been bundled on Indie Gala and Groupees, too. I wonder if the unused keys for those games have been revoked too (I'll try it myself if I find a spare key).
EDIT: No need to try, apparently...

all keys for https://store.steampowered.com/app/434250/Masked_Shooters_2/ seem to be revoked or invalidated, checked like 7 or so.

That's a very common issue if you buy games in bulk from Russian stores / Tremor (I assume you don't have them from the Fanatical - Tribes Bundle?).

i don't recall origins of those keys, only remember them being from really different time periods, and i doubt those were from fanatical :p

Just found out that my key for Hero Battle from the IG Hump Day #21 is a dupe, didn't see anything anywhere else about this so I thought I would leave it here.

Have you contacted IG support? If so, was the replacement also a dupe?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know if anyone has got better luck with IG support but even though they say the key don't expired that is their support answer when asked about it:
As specified in our terms and conditions, every customer that purchases a digital product on our store which requires activation on a third party platform (e.g. Steam activation keys), is required to activate the purchased activation codes within 60 days from the purchase. If 60 days have passed since the purchase of the activation codes and the customer has difficulties in activating the codes, we cannot guarantee replacement of the codes or any other solution.

I gave one of these away a couple of months ago, and the key worked then.

That's probably a public server room somewhere inside, or the address isn't correct

Steam forum discussion for Obscure Realm removed (yay!)
Developer of Jack's Gang answered, citing a Groupees helpzendesk article:
Any type of keys are supported for a time frame of one month. After that we cannot promise that we are able to help you with a key that is not working.
So, basically, if you have any unused keys from Groupees that is older than a month, you're screwed (thanks for playing, though!).

this really needs a shot, for sweet sweet memories:

now, how clever you have to be if, as the "game" developer, you answer:

Hey players, check this information:

Yeah, and this was a key that was stealth added to the bundle several months or years after release.

The Obscure Realm guy is pretty good too.

Regarding The Away Team: Lost Exodus, all unredeemed Steam keys from all bundle sites were revoked. Plus the developers lie about some hidden contract agreement about keeping "their" keys under control and having signed for keys to be active only for 6 months. Source: Groupees chat.
Comment has been collapsed.
Addendum:
Update on The Away Team issue: The developer has reversed his position on not providing replacements for the revoked keys. Just email him with the revoked ones and he'll give you working keys.
Source: Groupees chat + Steam discussion (e-mail support@awayteam.space for replacements)

Wanted to say thank you for this info, I sent them my paypal receipts and keys and they replaced them right away, so at least in the end they owned their mistake.

Reports of Legend of the Skyfish Steam keys from Groupees' "Build a Bundle 53" being duplicates (even sensualshakti reported it it was another issue). No idea if bundles from Indie Gala ("Crescent Moon Games" and "Friday Special #57" bundles) are affected. If yours is a dupe, submit a ticket and they will give you another key (they're manually replacing the dupes).

Lists to use:
Unused Keys Revoked: https://barter.vg/notices/513
Revoked (Dev): https://barter.vg/notices/362
Revoked (DMCA): https://barter.vg/notices/361
Duplicates: https://barter.vg/notices/372
If you want this information for one game specifically, you can find it under the "Notices" section for the Barter entry of that game.
(Example: https://barter.vg/i/42708/ then scroll down to "Notices": you'll see the red notice "Revoked (Dev) ⌫"; mouseovering it will give you some more info)
Thanks to everyone who reported their key revocations here. Please continue reporting them here. You folks are awesome!
Due to character limit, time constraints and having to manually create the chart rows, it's very difficult to keep a list on revocations on SteamGifts. Since I am the one managing these notices on Barter anyway, I thought it would be convenient to centralize the reports from SteamGifts and trade offers into one place and Barter proved to be a good solution for that because of its bundles and game database.
The below lists will not be updated on SG any more, but all your reports will be reflected on Barter, so please continue reporting them.
Previous links, for reference:
A list of games completely revoked from your library after activation
A list of games whose unredeemed keys were revoked (the big chart that was previously in this thread was moved here)
More games with invalidated keys can be found here.
