After discovering that 7,050 Steam keys for Sniper Elite III were stolen from PC distributors, and then re-sold to unaware buyers, Steam and developer Rebellion cancelled the keys.
The unsuspecting customers who bought any of the keys have been told to seek a refund from their sellers, and may have to purchase Sniper Elite III again. Rebellion posted a list of retailers that were unaffected on the Steam discussion page where the cancellations were first announced. As of this writing, there are 744 comments on the post.
"To clarify, one of our PC retail distributors informed us that some of their allotted Steam keys were stolen," the developer writes. "We believe these keys were then resold to multiple companies, with no payments going to either Valve or the retail distributor."
