Just caught up on the news that Dbrand was forced to cancel its Steam Machine case (img 1). Even though Valve’s move caused them financial losses, Dbrand was exceptionally apologetic (imgs 2-3).



Isn’t this the same company that told Nintendo to “go **** yourself” while profiting from them? The same company that leaked Switch 2 design, called Animal Crossing “a video game designed for children”, and TotK OLED Switch an “overpriced novelty console” (astonishing lack of self-awareness)?
What makes Dbrand treat one group of people with deference but another with utter contempt?
