And for the record, I have also had my key revoked.

1 Statement
Hi guys, In regards to the revoked keys 20K keys were given to IndieGala for their sale and keys have been being sold since withought any payment to me from them including on other websites.
I apologise fot the inconvienience however this is on them, I will be contacting them to see what's going on in regards to the earnings as I have not seen a single penny.

2 Statement
On a side note I will work to make sure you guys get your keys back one way or another as it's not your fault, I feel like we've both been screwed over by these sale sites.

3 Statement
So who do you think is responsible? the manufactuer or the person who sold you these cars illegally?
Indiegala have your money, there is literally nothing I can do about it they're the ones that have stolen from you.
If they sold you the keys then how am I scamming you? they're the ones that have your money not me, I haven't recieved a penny.

4 Statement
Well you're targeting a developer who worked hard and instead of a large website of which has been taking your money for something fraudulently. If there's anyone that should be reported it is them, I have literally no money.

5 Statement
No they've screwed you over, they took your money because they knew they could get away with it and I'd get the blame.
Not all keys are revoked, there are 3866 I know about being purchased anything else was sold fraudulently.

6 Statement
I can promise everyone who bought a key will have the game returned at some point, I believe the issue is the keys were sold in a random order and so any key from 0-3866 in the batch are still valid as that was the amount of sales. Obviously I should of used the option to only remove unused keys as it has effected genuine paying customers as well as ones fraudulently purchased. I apologize and once again I promise in time the game will return to your library one way or another.

scammer developer. He not sold enough copies so he raged and punished those who bought in bundles.

Well, it might worth to report vavle to european customer protection agency that they let developers remove games without being able to open dispute about it.

Do we really need 2 threads bumped to top all the time about this?

If he got screwed by one of the bundlers, that is his problem. He stole my key when he deleted it. If it was 20k, then I smell a class action suit with 20000 people in it. He screwed me out of his crappy game. I'm boycotting all their games now, FWIW.

need to get my car to the mechanic, cya later folks

Reported, Negatively reviewed, negatively curated, and hoping karma will avenge those who paid for something they deserve... and had pilfered due to no fault of their own.

If there is a problem with payments by a third-party (IndieGala, Groupees, etc.), that is between them and said third party. Not Steam users...

Outside of this response he's completely ignoring Groupees buyers further cementing the fact that they're doing something shady.

Honestly I blame Valve for giving developers revocation tools. It causes a loss of trust on the platform when consumers get caught up in disputes between key seller's and developers. It shouldn't be as easy as pushing a revocation button. Even if replacement keys get issued, keeping up to date with that thread is the last thing I wanted to spend my weekend on.

If you bought stolen property (unknowingly), by law it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner. The dev's response seems to me to be perfectly reasonable in this context, and the response of people who got keys revoked should be to boycott IndieGala.

My key was from the Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle 7 (2014), it got revoked as well. I also have keys from the IG bundle.
The fact that the dev revoked more than 20k keys without even knowing which bundle they are from is astonishing.
