keenkoonThe valve store has closed
simpleFirst I’ve ever heard of it. What was this? Just merch?
vis4valentineWhat 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
_haha_oh_wow_Same here, I would've bought a hat or something if I'd known.
VoyajerWhat about a towering pillar of hats?
I bought some dota shirts back in the day off there. They were very high quality especially the polos
Any info on why it closed? Will there be a replacement?
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
NabeGewellDid they market it at all?
Their demise is getting heaps of traction
A_Toasty_StrudelNo. They just downright don’t advertise their Steam branded merch at all. It no wonder knew this existed. Haha
No.
I was going to say my steam account is 16 years old and I’d never heard of it, but turns out the Archimedes plush I bought back in 2012 came from that store.
It was probably closed because forfansbyfans was acquired.
I literally didn't know there was a separate store from the steam store up until this post.
gradecurveFar 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.
Oh no! Hope some equally engaged shop takes it’s place.
Since they already sell physical products directly on Steam (Steam Deck, Index, etc.) wouldn’t it make sense to integrate it?
QuazatronThis is the first time I’ve heard about it. Now where am I going to buy the Half-Life T-shirt I never knew I needed?
