I know that Depths of Fear :: Knossos is listed on Barter as having duplicate keys for Indie Gala Feudalife Challenges, but the key from my recent GA of the game was also duped, and that key was from the old Fanatical Run & Gun bundle. In the comments to that GA, after the key turned out to be duped, another user reported that he had gone through four different Knossos keys in a similar situation, and they were all duped.

The Island Combat keys from Otaku Bundle #29 seem to have been revoked.
I tried 4 keys, all came out duplicated. If anyone can confirm, I'd appreciate it.

According to barter, that particular game from that bundle was a real mess...
out of keys
Unused Keys Revoked
duplicates ‼ Customers from China reported that their unused keys were revoked (other Asian countries might be affected too). Upon complaint, HB support delivered a China-locked key as a replacement for the original ROW one. Customers outside of China who had the same issue received sub/855127 (ROW without RU/CIS/CN/SA/TR)

According to this steam discussion they did send more keys to Humble but it seems that you had to request one instead of just sending them to everyone.
Revoking unused keys while many people might still be waiting to receive one was a strange move, too.

I'm always sorry to hear about things like this. I went looking for other reports and found a thread on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/1clcesw/humble_choice_duplicate_key/
I think inkle is a small developer, they may be apt to replace the key and advise why they revoked it.

Black Book key from IGN Fan Fest '24 (19 Feb 2024 - 07 Mar 2024) got revoked!
Confirmed by Steam support:
"Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Steam Support.
We understand your issue.
The CD Key for this game has been revoked by the game publisher. This can happen when a batch of keys are stolen, or perhaps the key was for a beta game that has shipped and you'll need to purchase it.
You should contact whoever sold you the key for further assistance.
Steam Support
Salem"

Did you ever contact Humble (if you bought IGN Fan Fest)? I tried to activate my Humble Choice key, then this one... both dupes!! I understand that choice is old, but this one is the current year!

No, I just ate up the loss :) Mainly because I had another key of "Black Book" from Fanatical (Build Your Own Relentless Bundle) and It worked where needed!
Usually when provided with "Steam response" Humble responds positively and issues a replacement right away, at least it was the case with my similarly revoked "Jack Move" (Take Your Turn: Tactics & RPGs).

Did you have any luck hearing back from Humble Bundle support? I opened a ticket about this 3 weeks ago, heard from support on 16 Dec that they were looking into this issue, but haven't had any updates since.
Message that I received from Humble Bundle support on Dec 16, 2024, 3:57 AM PST
"Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out.
I have flagged this issue to our team and they are already looking into it.
We will get back to you once this issue is resolved.
Let me know if you have other questions or concerns."
...I'm thinking about following up and seeing what's happening.

I got $5 credit for the store (because of Black Book).

I see the game title was mentioned before for a separate bundle, but my key for Rogue Port - Red Nightmare from IndieGala: Indie Aftermath Bundle was also duped.

Unredeemed Pitiri 1977 keys may all have been revoked. Humble has had a message that they are no longer available for awhile for the Humble Weekly: Multimedia Fusion 2 bundle. I didn't have that key to check, but I did try to redeem two that I knew to be good from different bundles and both came up as duplicates. One was from Groupees Remute Hipster Orgy and the other was from IndieGala Blasting Blocks.

My copy of King Arthur: Knight's Tale which I've activated in my Steam account on 9 Dec, 2022 was just revoked. I don't remember exactly where I got it from only that it was a key. Has anyone heard of similar situations regarding this particular title?

Apparently developer, NeocoreGames, marketed keys away somewhere and didn't like how they were used... two years later. So they revoked every single key, even from users' libraries, citing 'privacy concerns' (cough). (Steam Forum Topic)
I won the game on Steamgifts two years ago from a holiday giveaway. Also revoked from library. Won't be buying games from
NeocoreGames ever again.

It seems they revoked every key bought through Instant Gaming, which is a grey market site.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mine was definitely not from Instant Gaming or other key-shop. And as a side note, do publisher expect us to keep receipts for every single key we've bought outside Steam, for years down the line, just in case they wake up one day and decide to revoke it?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's absurd that a key could be revoked after such a long time (2 years)!
It happened to me too, that a key taken on Fanatical was revoked after something like a year and a half, then through Fanatical support it was replaced.
There should be a maximum time limit for revoking a key (days/weeks/maybe a couple of months, but not years!). After that limit it should not be allowed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, they've locked the post on Steam as there's no point for people to reply any longer. They've decided of course not to do anything about this.

Lists to use:
Unused Keys Revoked: https://barter.vg/notices/513
Revoked (Dev): https://barter.vg/notices/362
Revoked (DMCA): https://barter.vg/notices/361
Duplicates: https://barter.vg/notices/372
If you want this information for one game specifically, you can find it under the "Notices" section for the Barter entry of that game.
(Example: https://barter.vg/i/42708/ then scroll down to "Notices": you'll see the red notice "Revoked (Dev) ⌫"; mouseovering it will give you some more info)
Thanks to everyone who reported their key revocations here. Please continue reporting them here. You folks are awesome!
Due to character limit, time constraints and having to manually create the chart rows, it's very difficult to keep a list on revocations on SteamGifts. Since I am the one managing these notices on Barter anyway, I thought it would be convenient to centralize the reports from SteamGifts and trade offers into one place and Barter proved to be a good solution for that because of its bundles and game database.
The below lists will not be updated on SG any more, but all your reports will be reflected on Barter, so please continue reporting them.
Previous links, for reference:
A list of games completely revoked from your library after activation
A list of games whose unredeemed keys were revoked (the big chart that was previously in this thread was moved here)
More games with invalidated keys can be found here.
