Well... Yes, but actually no. I mean, they've revoked many, many keys. Some of them may be from scalpers / stolen credit cards / cheaper regions.
But... There is key selling store, Green Man Gaming. Publishers are deliverying keys to GMG, only them. Perfectly legal keys. And they still revoked that keys.

My suggestion for tinyBuild is, if you want to get rid of scalpers, just dont sell game outside of storefront. Like Steam/EGS/GOG. If you want extra cash from stores like GMG/Fanatical, live with it.
The publisher sold keys to GreenManGaming (and probably other stores ) and then the developers unilaterally revoked all serials without first checking if they were legitimate?
Sounds like the developers are running their company out of a shed and are immature.
Don't know why, but yes. Now, they are trying to fix that fiasco, with GMG support, but leaves bad taste.
I think the bad taste in my mouth is the 300k copies they sold and the need to then do this? Stepping over pounds to save pennies etc.
