Valve threatens legal action against Dbrand over Portal 2 case

Valve has threatened legal action against accessory manufacturer Dbrand for selling a Portal 2-themed Companion Cube case without proper licensing. Dbrand has since discontinued the product and refunded all orders, admitting they did not have the rights to use Valve's intellectual property. The company, known for its edgy marketing and past run-ins with Sony and Nintendo over similar IP issues, had hoped for an official collaboration, but Valve declined the offer. AI
