Found this at a dollar store in Halifax, as you can clearly see that is the Counter-Strike: Source box art on the packaging of that toy riot police set. Like what the hell, could they get sued for this?

Nope, it's not legal but VALVe don't really care I'm guessing.

[flippy645]

[Spiderface]

[HyperTails]

Sounds like that TF2 rip off game

[gsp1995]

Ah, this is pretty common.

[Akasolidus]

People steal from valve all the time. Im suprise that valve hasn't taken action or said anything yet.

That's because valve didnt make λ

Unless you saw the logo they use on the box art

[p0rtalplayer]

Valve's just so awesome that people need to steal from them to market their products at all.

Because VALVe were the first people ever to utilize the Lambda in a logo.

[Gufu]

You know, that image could be in public use.

Or it's a Chinese toy, thus THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO THE IMAGINATION!

[theguydude]

Things like this are actually pretty common.

:wtc: at the video. The AR2 and Pistol icons especially stand out on both.

[Minilandstan]

Is it made in Korea?
I hear they have a market for Valve related items

Nova Scotia?

[New Cidem]

This thread should be a hub for rip-offs of Valve games

[Swiket]

That reminds me of that Portuguese ad that used the TF2 Scout's Pistol viewmodel.

I forgot the whole backstory on that?

Anyone care to explain?

[Hunterbrute]

China is pro.

Why is it $2, I thought everything in the Dollar store was supposed to be $1.

I was always told everything in the dollar store is supposed to not require any change. Meaning it's $1, $2, 3$, etc. But not $2.50, or anything like that.

[Swiket]

Halifax has a 100% sales tax.

[flippy645]

email it to gabe see what he thinks

[Nitrowing]

Consider this: when you saw that picture it made you think of Valve didn't it? It's basically free advertising.

[Chonch]

Emailed Gabe about it.
