Recently the Key sales site Indie Game Stand was taken down for what they reported to be a server migration. However, the site has remained down for months. Now, consumers are still being charged for the subscription fees to a defunct web site and the keys provided for sale by multiple Game Developers are being resold on the Kinguin grey market site.
