Company that made a Steam Machine wrap based on Valve intellectual property without asking forced to take it down
Concept art for the project was initially shared on social media shortly after the Steam Machine unveiling in November last year, but pre-orders didn't actually go live until 22nd June. The design is based on the weighted Companion Cube from the Portal series, so you might have thought that Dbrand had licensed the intellectual property from Valve before starting on the project. It turns out, however, the company did not, as it revealed in a Reddit post.
