       @gamingonlinux probably shouldn't be running a business at all if problems like this are only an afterthought

       @gamingonlinux Sad, but seriously... nobody on dbrand even thought to talk with Valve before start taking preorders?

       @gamingonlinux I really can't believe they got that far without someone stopping and at least bringing up if they should ask Valve first.

       @gamingonlinux This was very stupid of them to attempt but at the same time classy of them to own up to it like this.Dbrand even produced an extremely official looking commercial (removed now) with voice actors from portal and a Half Life 3 "tease". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AAS1WH6GRk

       @gamingonlinuxOh bullshit!Even if we assume that copyright is something useful and not a cudgel (cough, cough) refusing to grant a proper licence is just being a vindictive asshole.Buuuuuuuuuut… dbrand already had copyright issues with hardware for Sony PS5.So fool myself twice?…
