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.
