I never used dbrand, but i’m pretty sure they do that a lot. They think they are above the law because thy are the cool and hip company

That they could let marketing act as legal and everything would shake out fine in the end because they’re so “cool”.

I agree, but on the otherhand, fuck IP law. Is Valve making this same or at least very similar product? Is dbrand claiming its an official product? No? Then fuck right off on being able to stop it.
Literally all this does is hurt consumers so that big corps can have the theoretical potential of making more money even if it is never and will never be actioned on.

That’s true for sure. Given that IP law is a thing and that dbrand likely has parterned with other licensed brands before, however, I’m not sure what they thought would happen

How do you know Valve isn’t working on a similar product? How does using instantly recognizable, iconic, and beloved imagery not imply a claim of rights to said imagery?
