Accessory makers Dbrand have taken their Steam Machine Companion Cube case off sale, admitting they never actually sought permission from Valve to make it.
Valve has a history of hiring modders and making the mods official products (counter strike started as a Half Life mod). Black Mesa was originally a free mod, they then approached valve about selling it later, which Valve then approved. Had the devs not asked permission, Valve probably would’ve shut it down had they tried to sell it.
