Keys for Hare have been revoked
I just got an account alert that Hare was removed from my account. It was purchased in an Otaku bundle in 2018.

Discussion about mass key revoke https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/681290/discussions/0/3828663748260429148/

Same happened here too. Bought from same bundle. It was part of this bundle https://isthereanydeal.com/specials/#/filter:id/6429 . That store went out of business and did not pay for developers. Still wondering why screwing up with customers with this mass key revoke.

This is another game by same developer who should be curated as well.

Looks like the dev also decided to increase the base price from $1 USD to $5 on Mar 30 - just 1 week prior to revoking keys.

This just got worse. A moderator closed the main complaint thread.

"We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding."

I interpret this as Valve siding with the scam developer and attempting to sweep the whole thing under the rug.

The dev started banning people from the drawgaem discussions. I got banned for linking which bundle someone got Hare from lol. They deleted all the discussions on drawgaem too lol.

'GraVe23723', who I think we can safely assume is the developer, has deleted all of their posts, but nobody else's it seems.

Not gonna lie, this is all probably more entertaining than Hare itself.

Looks like he got a community ban https://steamdb.info/calculator/76561198953706774/
PerseidX 10 Apr, 2023 @ 3:11pm 
Does that mean he wasn't actually the developer, then?
Eviction Notice 10 Apr, 2023 @ 3:13pm 
Nah, GraVe23723 was a troll. Dev is https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/acidente/. The dev did set his profile to private afterward and hasn't posted anything since.

Dev finally responded: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/681290/discussions/0/3828664145920560272/
Apparently the game is getting updated and "fraudulent keys were being sold to this day" so that is why the dev decided to revoke all keys. Makes no sense that used keys would be revoked. If you happen to still have proof of purchase a request can be sent to the email address provided to get a new key.
Oh, and replies are restricted to only those who own a copy of game just to rub it in.

Asked from developer for new key(s) back in April. Did show the receipt from that bundle as well. He never responded.
