Yaaay, it's so fun to take advantage of pricing errors...
I'd be ashamed of myself if I got a copy of my DR that way. Even when there were huge pricing errors on Steam I never took advantage of them. Maybe it's just me but I find it morally wrong. The price wasn't the price the developer of the game agreed to. And that's enough for me not to buy a game then.

The developers won't loose money because of this, the retailers will. The devs have already sold a bulk amount of keys to the retailers and gotten their money, so it's only gamesplanet that looses money on this (and Steam themselves when they do pricing errors). I still agree that it's morally wrong, but just wanted to get the facts straight.

I'm pretty surprised they're not removing them to be honest. I can understand leaving it if a price error happens and they sell for less than intended, at least they make something. Giving them away for $0 is just a crazy loss to not try and reverse it.
Oh well, at least they're making a lot of people happy :)

Not only that, but it encourages people to take advantage of future pricing errors.
If they had revoked the keys it would make people think twice about trying to fight their way onto the site to grab a copy. That headache might not seem worth it anymore just to have the game revoked a day or two later.

But they do remove games from gamesplanet accounts. Might be just to cover loss, since there could be few good keys still around, but since server was down they weren't used.
Or they are saying "we did not take action in any way, YET - tomorrow we're sending info to Valve to revoke keys".
There is hope in that last sentence - "Enjoy ya' lucky bastards!".

You probably got a dupe when they went out of stock, so they removed it, mine is still there.

You read right! I know that for some of you the game has been revoked, but mine wasn't revoked yet.
I just went back to the reseller's website and they wrote a note:
"Notice
Hi Gamer!
By mistake this game has been on sale for free. It was never intended to be free, shit simply happenend. As a result the world hit us hard during the night. Our service has been down for several hours.
We saw comments on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Price-Comparison-Pages, Forums, well… the internet. We did read them all and enjoyed the love shared for Gamesplanet.
Be assured, we will write a full post-mortem about the last night and you will get to know all details.
Last but not least: We saw comments on Reddit, that keys would get revoked on Steam. This is not true! We did not take action in any way yet."
Here's the link to the page if you don't believe me: https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/dead-rising-3--2683-1
EDIT: so... it seems they added that "yet" keyword there, but I really hope the keys won't get revoked, because I'm planning to play it, but my PC isn't good enough for it (yet).
