What is the Valve Store?

They sold merchandise. It even had its own workshop where people could publish their own designs which were sometimes released as official merch.

Oh, sounds cool, I hope they keep doing it somehow.

They most likely are gonna integrate it with the steam store

Hopefully, I literally did not know it existed before just now

Same here, I would’ve bought a hat or something if I’d known.

I bought some dota shirts back in the day off there. They were very high quality especially the polos. If they incorporate it into steam I’d probably buy something else.

I literally didn’t know there was a separate store from the steam store up until this post.

First I’ve ever heard of it. What was this? Just merch?
- lenathaw ( @lenathaw@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year ago
yes

Any info on why it closed? Will there be a replacement?
- LostDeer ( @LostDeer@infosec.pub ) English20•1 year ago
I think I know why it closed. You didn’t hear about it, I didn’t hear about it, somehow they didn’t market it very well. lol

It was probably closed because forfansbyfans was acquired.

Far as I remember, this used to be the online side of the secret shop for The International (Dota 2), then generalized a bit to sell Portal t-shirts and whatever. The company that actually ran it changed hands & names a couple times until Goodsmile bought it, and I doubt Valve care too much to find another vendor at this point.

Since they already sell physical products directly on Steam (Steam Deck, Index, etc.) wouldn’t it make sense to integrate it?
- Yepthatsme ( @Yepthatsme@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
TIL!

Oh no! Hope some equally engaged shop takes it’s place.
