    They didn’t make sure to have the license before developing it. And it was not the first time to not get the license. Don’t blame others for your own failure.

      I didn’t read it, but all of dBrand’s copy has a certain attitude to it. I doubt it’s AI, just a very unusual brand voice, and it’s kinda cute and funny at first, but after the 5th email in a week with the same “We’re so cool, we’re not like other companies” tone, I unsubscribed.

    Are they stupid, individual creators can do that for themselves, not to sell for a buisnees, why are so many dumbasses in positions of power and how can we rip them from the controls, like seriously.

    They make skins for the steam deck, so it’s not like they didn’t know how to get permission to do this kind of thing. I sort of feel like this company does stupid shit on purpose to generate media coverage and considers the media coverage a win for brand recognition; financial consequences be damned.

      They don’t need permission to make skins. The reason they need it here is because the companion cube is copyright 2006 Valve.

    And as we know Valve is a cesspool of capitalism obsessed cis white rightwing males so they obviously weren’t cool about it. Le usual.
