Dbrand cancels Companion Cube Steam Machine case after Valve denies permission
By
Michael McWhertor
Summary
Dbrand's planned "Companion Cube" case for the Steam Machine has been canceled after Valve made it clear the company never had permission to use the Portal-inspired design. Dbrand had announced the case without Valve's approval, and when confronted, Valve refused to license the intellectual property. This marks another setback for the Steam Machine concept, which has struggled since its initial launch.

· 3 pulledThe Companion Cube Steam Machine case is dead. Valve made it very clear that we never had their permission to use their intellectual property.
We thought we could ask for forgiveness rather than permission, but Valve wasn't having it.
This was supposed to be the coolest Steam Machine accessory ever made, and now it's gone.
