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.
