  for when they do get a license

  We asked Valve whether there was any way to keep the project alive: properly licensed, with their blessing, on their terms. They said no.

  Valve’s refused to sell them a licence.

  There is no ‘when they do get a license’.

  Beg forgiveness instead of ask for permission is a gamble. Dbrand lost the dice roll.

  They might be able to modify the molds to something legally distinct, but it’d be expensive and if they were already taking a loss on the desirable product it’s better to not throw bad money after good. I’d guess their actual best bet is to see if valve wants to buy all this off them to reduce their losses and their disposal/storage costs
