I'm not having this issue, just for curiosity and information, becouse i don't want to lose any of my games, why this can be done? For what reasons? And there is a way to understand if some of your games got revoked?

A: Fraud, stolen keys, beta keys

Q: How i know if one of my games get revoked?
A: You will get a popup notification

Generally, they get revoked if the game copy was stolen or "purchased" through fraud. Like with a stolen credit card.
And you get a Support alert you must confirm when this happens. So it won't go unnoticed.

You can get keys revoked for any reason the developer chooses unfortunately. Valve doesn't seem to ask why and just revokes any keys requested by the developer

Even more reason to buy on Steam only...

I've never had a game revoked. And i buy from a lot of authorized resellers.

I revoke keys when I see them being sold on unauthorized third party websites.
