Tech accessory company dbrand has canceled its Steam Machine Companion Cube enclosure effective immediately because it didn't ask Valve for permission to make it in the first place.

I do wonder if Valve will do a 180 and agree to license it. Seems like they could stand to make good money by just charging dbrand a per-unit fee
99% certain this is what will end up happening.
Its not even a 180.

All they had to do was ask permission first.
If I had a steam machine I’d want one of these
I’m not gonna lie, not being able to buy it makes me want the steam machine less. Sadly I don’t even need one to begin with.
Agree, but mostly its the AI companies that make me not want to buy it
I doubt it, they seemed pretty pissed at how dbrand works.
