Didn't the dev say he would just make the game free for a day if he couldn't get his key request accepted?
Figured that would be easier, even if it reduces his potential future sales from 0 to 0.

Step 1: Make satirical joke about developer's ability to lie and not be able to repay the customers.
Step 2: Get community ban with a reason "Ye okay."
Step 3: Wait for Steam to ban the developer and the game.

Update: My community ban was lifted, but zero answer / reaction to the developer from Steam Support. Meh.

so they just "revoke" the keys from the end customers because according to them retailers failed somewhere. that shit should be straight illegal and not doable

Lol, indiegala actually paid the developer, he just decided he should have earned a little more

Dev posted 2 hours ago:

Keys have been approved and sent to IndieGala

I just received an email by IndieGala with a replacement key. If you got it there and haven't contacted them, you should catch upon it.

So what about gift copies of the bundle? How will these keys be restored?

Wonder how groupees are going to handle it.

[Edit] Response from Groupees saying they've been trying to keys but not received yet. When/if do, we'll get a notification.

Bump.
Still nothing from Groupees.

Never forget, never forgive that dev

I won that game here a year ago, what do i do now?

I've received my replacement key from IndieGala's support (on e-mail), I recommend everybody to do the same and send them a message from the e-mail that the bundle was bought from or gifted to. If you've received key only and not the properly gifted bundle/game, you won't get a replacement.

In my case I've got it in a group buy (as I do with every IG bundle), they didn't make any problems as the gift was sent on my e-mail.

Once again a crap game in a crap bundle gets revoked, glad I don't buy them, this seems shady as hell I think there needs to be some sort of limit on how long you have to report and revoke keys. There is no way I would wait a year before asking to get what I'm owed and revoking keys to people who actually paid for them, and it seems like they made no attempt to even resolve it before they revoked. They should not get any money if they were able to remove said product from the people who actually paid for it, instead of going after IndieGala itself.

All I know is something smells fishy, and it's not last nights special. This is akin to buying something from Wal-mart, them not paying their supplier, then tracking down as many people as they can who bought said items, and have it repoed. The consumer is not to blame or at fault, you just bit the hand that feeds you, and I would never buy a product from them again, so they will never get paid a sale from me ever again.

They clearly needed to collect from those who did not pay them, not take away from those who did actually pay for said item. Granted they had the right to do so, but IMO a very poor decision and even worse statement on blaming Indiegala while taking away a product someone paid for in good faith.

Much to my surprise, found a notification on my Groupees account today...

Replacement steam keys for Urban War Defense have been added.

Good on somebody to get it corrected the most correct way possible in the wake of sheer stupidity.
My key had been revoked from Groupees's Build a Greenlight Bundle 7.
Now, I can continue to ignore the game in my library, but with more ignoring than before.
