    It happens every few years when a publisher gets petty:

      Mellow_Online1 Officer 20 Sep, 2017 @ 1:55pm Update: Valve has stepped in and keys have been reinstated, previous owners of the game should now have it in their library

      Seems like the developer was dumb and steam did everything right…?

        Yea, but the whole notion that Steam just lets developers do this, sometimes repeatedly…

          What are you talking about? If the developer says XYZ are stolen/bla keys of course steam has to do that? Stop trying to put blame on steam here, they did everything right. First help the developer and then go back once it was clear they were doing bullshit. Not saying steam is a saint, but holy fuck are they the best of all of them by a long shot.
