    If valve themselves aren’t going to do it, they should at least give dbrand or someone a licence to sell a companion cube skin. It’s too obvious not to.

      I’m fairly certain that if dbrand had asked first, they would’ve been able to reach an agreement with Valve.

      That being said, the way they went about it basically made it guaranteed that Valve would refuse and never change their mind, since allowing it would signal that others can use Valve’s IP to develop a product without authorization and then use public interest to pressure Valve in allowing the use.

    And they’re legit this time? 😋

    Jokes aside, that orange one is pretty cool. You could claim to have bought the Steam Orange Box, literally!
