Generally consumers are allowed freedom of expression and in this age brands are seen as a form of expression and as such people are allowed to associate themselves with a brand provided their expression does not negatively impact on the original brand.

Therefore while stunt does have a point, it is also unlikely that these shirts would ever be deemed to be an infringement on portal and steams rights in their current form.
I understand and accept you view, it's also why I suggested he contact the Registered holder, Valve and query it. I guarantee they won't flog him for 10 t-shirts, but this is about being morally right.

What he does wrong is he could be making an income off this and he's also advertising this on a registered website. If something comes from this, MyG could get into trouble.
