activation code revoked by publisher for no reason
My account this morning popped up and revoked my activation key on steam. I was 37.7 hours in and level 19. Ive spent almost two hours on the phone with Amazon Game Studios and they have checked different systems and cannot figure it out.

How did you pay for the product and where did you buy the original key?

If it was revoked by Steam itself and not the publisher - Steam Support is who you need to talk to.

Edit: It should be noted that Steam doesn't revoke keys on a whim.

New World most likely since it’s Amazon Game Studios.

Amazon has been revoking the product keys of accounts they believe to be bots, gold farmers or fraudently obtained ie shady resellers

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
