Dbrand has announced refunds for customers who preordered its Companion Cube accessory for the Steam Machine, which was created without Valve's permission. The product, inspired by the Portal game, quickly became a top seller for Dbrand before Valve's legal team intervened, leading to its removal from the company's website.
Dbrand acknowledged its oversight in not securing a license prior to production and expressed regret over the situation. Refunds are set to begin immediately, and Dbrand has indicated a desire to pursue an officially licensed version in the future.
