Hi SG

I just got a message from Steam saying a key that i activated has been revoked (can be seen here http://i.imgur.com/yDpjTmv.png)

The key was originally from a bundle that i brought on IndieGala the 25. December during their christmas sale on their bundles (i brought all their bundles and activated them that day http://i.imgur.com/f0dYdy1.png)

Have anyone else that have experienced this?

Edit: it was from the Mixcellaneous Bundle

I had mine revoked also.
When i 1st saw the error i just was hoping it wasn't anything too important and its wasnt so not a huge deal but still not cool.

Same removal notice and I only noticed now that the publisher is listed as Groupees Interactive. Someone's already posted on their support chat to ask what's going on (no word yet).

I would not go around saying that's the reason, There's no way that'd go unnoticed, there is obviously something else going on in the background.

Sees unlikely, because if this proves true it will be a great blow to their reputation. But who knows, we live in such a messed up world...

Yes, and If they have done such a thing, they can certainly be held liable to and find themselves under custody.:)

Did everyone here buy on their own, or did they get it in a group buy? I bought it on my own, and my key appears to be intact.

Hmm that could be something interessting here...
Mine got revoked and I bought it via group buy.
Still absolutely no reason to revoke a key - even worse if it's true and its Groupees fault

It would absolutely be a reason to revoke a key. If the group buy host bought with a bad credit card, it is a failed payment. That is absolutely valid to revoke keys, and while it does fuck over a large amount of people? It's unfortunate, but it is valid on the part of the publisher.

It's not like ALL IG keys have been bought with fake credit cards.
Furthermore, on the steam discussion OP states he bought it for full price.

That's what I was trying to find out though, Whether or not it was all IG keys.

Well, without proper compensation, this is illegal. It's breaking purchase contract.

Any news if the keys from DIG super bundle 51 is also revoked. I got 2 keys there -_-

All 4 of my winners seem to still have it on their account, so that bundle doesn't seem to be affected.

Mine is gone too. Let's see how Indiegala explains this one.

I activated mine on 11 Dec, 2015 and it isn't revoked...I have no idea where I got it from tho.

I hope there's a good explanation for what's going on here, that's really bad for biz when legitimately purchased keys are being pulled like this.

I got my personal copy from Be Mine 23 and that hasn't been revoked, but I'm pretty sure I also received another copy from the Mixcellaneous bundle that I traded or gave away.

The thought this is Groupees scheming and plotting sounds preposterous to me - it would be just bad business for them.

There ought to be another, simpler explanation. Maybe they voided a whole range of keys because of some hack. If so, expect Gala to reissue keys, much like Humble did for Sunless Sea after they gave out the wrong ones.

It's normal. I still can post review for games that I played during the Steam free weekend

Steam reviews only need you to have it on your activated licenses tab and some play time logged in the game. This is why one can have reviews on removed games.

Hmm. I tracked one I gave away from IG bundle, but it's still there. Need to contact the person to find out if it got revoked...

Okay. I just revealed my remaining key from the Mixcellaneous Bundle (extra gift from HH) and upon activation on Steam I get a duplicate key error. LOL.

Changed publisher – Abraham Carreola › Groupees Interactive

I don't have it so haven't been affected. But the mere fact this says "About a month ago" makes me raise eyebrows.

Possibly most, if not all, keys issued while publisher was this Abraham Carreola are being revoked?
The DIG ones would be from Groupees Interactive, no?

The DIG bundle was sold in late January, the publisher change was recorded on February 9th, so theoretically the DIG bundle could be affected aswell

Aha! So, the publisher hasn't always been the same company?! That explains a LOT. Something has gone wrong or gotten confused in the purchase of the IP.

Looks like a similar thread is already going in the game's discussion forum and ramping up fast....

Mine from Groupees Be Mine 23 bundle is still there. It appears to be only copies sold by Indiegala that have been removed.
