LMFAO, is it that easy? Hard to believe, tbh.

According to the Steam End User License Agreement and Terms of Service, which everyone had to agree to when creating their account, any game license can be revoked from any account at any given time, even without any reason or explanation. EU residents are a bit of an exception,since consumer rules are much more consumer-oriented, but outside the EU, Valve and the publishers can do whatever they want with anyone's licenses. It is another thing what it means to publicity.

That's why we are posting and shining a light on it, to bring negative publicity upon the developer for being ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Oh well most people on got this for the +1 to games anyways, it's a horrible game and no cards/achievs.

free ♥♥♥♥♥ game without cards and achievements yet people throw a tantrum

Dumb mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like this is why there are devs that get away with this crap on steam.

[[DC] Black]

where is a email to contact the dev of this

[Omega]

Granted, it is a $2 game but the Devs should at least respond and give some insight to this

That is just an automative message that pop up when you get a key removed, it's not an explanation on why it was mass sent out to revokes keys.
We want to know if those keys were obtained the wrong way, or they didn't give them out in the first place, ect.

we know what it is

this is a growing trend in steam for developers to revoke keys
this is the 4th or 5th time I have gotten one of these from an inexperienced developer trying to dump keys in the last year or so

I don't think anyone's really complaining, at least not as many as you may think. Me personally, I played it and reached the same conclusion you did.

I think most just didn't expect it to be removed. I know I didn't. First time I ever saw such a notice pop up upon booting up the client. Not going to miss the game, but I am curious as to why it was revoked.

yeah I am a little curious too as to why tbh..that's why i checked around and ended up here lol

The keys weren't paid for.

Even people who buy the game RIGHT NOW, get their keys revoked.

I'm from EU aswell. It's very unlikely that this happens, it doesn't happen often and is mostly attached to all other strings in such agreements, like hacking, scam, fraud ... i never had it once that a game i purchased on Steam or somewhere else and then activated on Steam has been revoked. Simply because Valve and Steam want you to use Steam and this platform, if this would be daily business, Steam would long be dead. It destroys trust and it's contra-productive to this very platforms user activity. Nobody would buy games on Steam if that would be the case and it will never be the case but it's a possibility. It's also possible that Valve and Steam may get bankrupt and offline, doesn't mean it will happen.
