Jim Sterling is being sued by Digital Homicide
- Thread starter H1PSTER
- Start date
I watched a Jimquisition video like a year ago about these guys. I can't believe this feud is still ongoing. Jim's likely still making videos about them because they suck and they won't shut up.

Jesus christ. I've watched Jim's videos on theses idiots and missed this. Just look at this shit. Watch that video and tell me that what Jim has said isn't the truth. I dare you to. But yea as mentioned that isn't. Lawsuit was filed before this video.

Clearly, Jim Sterling is such a Jim Fucking Sterling, Son that he controls the courts as well.

Not surprised. Anyone who listened to the interview between dh and sterling know that DH is absolutely delusional. Digital Homicide wants to rip off as many unsuspecting customers as possible but because of critics like sterling they can't. So what do they do? Try to silence the critic. Try to release their games under different publishing names. And finally try to sue the critic because hes keeping people up to date on their scheme to release shitty games for quick money.

Nothing wrong with using a stage name.
I already knew what his name was, it's not exactly hidden from the web, but it's not public knowledge either. Now it will be. I wonder if they did this just to put Jim's actual name in the spotlight, if they just want to cause Jim more trouble, or if they sincerely believe they have a case. Probably the second with a bit of the third. But going by their behavior, it could be any one of those three.
Jim covers so much random stuff on his channel it's hard to argue that he's targeting them specifically. The main or only reason he keeps making Jimquisition videos about them is because they keep targeting Jim. It hardly qualifies as bullying on Jim's part.

These guys are even more stupid than what I thought.
How many guys work at Digital Homicide?

They have a Kickstarter going to sue Jim.
These guys couldn't pour water out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.

It won't be a while until this happens, I'm sure Jim would wait until this is settled. It may be unwise to talk about it before then.

I find them hilarious, in honesty.

Like any other journalist, Sterling continues to follow a thread that directly affects the population he appeals to. In this case, he reminds the public of Digital Homicide and their horrible business practice because they struggle to accept the truth and have failed to improve themselves.
Also, they posted a review of Sterling's review and called him a fucking idiot. They have no sense of professional etiquette.

He 'focuses' on them because they keep threatening him.
The first one was, but enough already...

Kind of amazing considering the second last vid Jim did on them was fairly complimentary :/

But the day will come when it is over and all hell will be unleashed. I predict a two-parter, possibly a mini-seires.

They don't have a chance in hell in a US court. Jim could probably get his attorney fees paid by them as well.
Maybe it's just DH being delusional but who is going to support them? I don't even know who is foolish enough to buy their games regardless of anything that has happened. Who ends up on one of their game's Steam page and thinks what they're looking at is or will be a quality product? Like sure, they flood the market, but nothing they put out even has a look of anything that would be a smart decision to buy. In a world where people constantly buy big AAA games and are pissed about them being shitty, who goes around and blindly buys random bullshit on Steam no one has ever heard of before?

Costing them money. That's the #1 reason to sue someone.
His words and videos have directly affected their business (as it fucking should, they suck) and they think that's not legal. Well, legal or not, they want him to stop so they are try once again to change backgrounds, names and links to try to pretend the shit they release isn't made by them.

I wonder if Jim can set a precedent with YouTube videos if they take him to court and he wins.
DH filed pro se (without an attorney) so they are representing themselves. Asking for over $10 million USD which seems reasonable lol.
Complaint is not about bad reviews, etc. but about certain isolated statements (I have no idea whether the statements are true or not). In any case, DH has a very high bar to clear to show libel.

You think they think?
Another hilarious video.
If they represent themselves they have no chance at all judging by that interview.
Nothing unfair about it, if Konami or Activision individually shat out 18 shitty games in a month Jim would be calling them out 18 times in that month.
DH are the ones who have escalated everything from responding to the initial criticism of slaughtering grounds to begging Jim for that interview all the way to this lawsuit meanwhile Jim does what he always does.

I would pay pay per view charges to watch them represent themselves in court. I hope it's on CSPAN. I cant even imagine the cringe of watching these yahoos try and defend themselves in open court.

It's actually Jim Fknsterlingson.
They've released a bunch of games under different developer names and Jim still covered it without knowing the truth because he covers games of that level of quality all the time.

Hopefully Jim can counter sue for cost of attorney. Seems like they just want to waste his time and money. They are representing themselves and having it funded by anyone stupid enough to give them money for it.
Perfect, really makes sense now.
