Valve blocks Dbrand's Steam Machine skin after testing

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from 9to5Google ·

Dbrand removed its Companion Cube skin for the Steam Machine after Valve refused to allow its release. The skin, which had been in testing, was pulled from Dbrand's website. Customers who ordered it will not receive the product.

Meridian48 take
This is a minor accessory kerfuffle, but it shows Valve's tight control over Steam Machine branding and hardware partnerships.
