    30,000 Blackwell Deception keys revoked after giveaway exploit
    Hey SG, there were a few issues with the release of free Steam keys for Blackwell Deception. I'll try to summarize what I understand happened, and how this affects SG.
    Wadjet Eye Games was running a promotion, offering Blackwell Deception for free to reach out to the gaming community and to promote the other titles in their lineup. People love free Steam games, so it's no surprise this caught on like wild fire. Originally, users were sent through their payment processor with the game assigned a zero value. However, as the offer attracted more attention, their servers couldn't keep up with this overhead. The solution was to skip the payment processor, and link the buy button directly to the download page, which also offered the ability to generate a Steam key.
    Since their store was running slow during this time, users began to share the direct link to the download page and key generator. A few users were suspended on SG for this, and I apologize, as we now realize these were valid links, and our users were simply trying to help others get access to this wonderful offer.
    The offer expired yesterday and was removed from their store, however, the direct links continued to function unintentionally. This led to roughly 30,000 keys disappearing overnight, while some users believed the offer was still valid, and others were trying to receive multiple copies for trading and reselling. The developer has sent a key list to Valve, containing the keys that were generated after the offer expired. These will most likely be revoked from Steam accounts. The developer has asked Valve to ensure no one is banned, since as I mentioned earlier, a lot of innocent users were unaware the offer had ended during this time.
    Blackwell Deception giveaways creating during this offer will be removed shortly, since the keys were available for free.
