Dbrand, a popular manufacturer of phone cases and vinyl wraps, has been dealt a significant blow after being forced to discontinue its Companion Cube wrap for the Steam Machine. The company had initially unveiled concept art for the project on social media, generating significant buzz among gamers and Steam enthusiasts.

However, it appears that Dbrand failed to obtain the necessary permissions from Valve, the intellectual property owner, to produce the wrap. As a result, the company has been left with no choice but to cancel all pre-orders and cease production of the Companion Cube design.
