All those Steam games just became infinitely more valuable on the market.

 

[Steroyd]

Jim, when you're eventually going to cover this digital suicide you're going to have to give us a heads up in advance, because I'm going to be watching this epic episode with some of the finest wine, it's the only way.


Can't believe Slaughtering Grounds could provide this much entertainment.

 

[Asd202]

Those guys lmao.

 

[kami_sama]

Lol. They can't stop digging themselves a bigger hole.

 

[Handy Fake]

Now they'll try to sue Valve.

 

[SolidChamp]

If the Digital Homicide people are reading this, I'd just like to say the following:

Spoiler

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! GET FUCKED!!!

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Kudos to Valve for not having any of DH's bullshit!

 

[redunzgofasta]

I'm waiting for the 'Digital Homicide returns under new name' story.

 

[datwr]

Totally expecting this, don't know how Steam have bothered to deal with these guys for so long.
I would have thrown them out long ago.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

I'm waiting for the 'Digital Homicide returns under new name' story.

I've no doubt they'll try, but a lot of people will be watching for it. And let's be honest, their garbage is pretty recognizable.

 

[ForkNetwork]

Evil has been thwarted once again, god bless america.

 

[protomouse]

 

[J4g3r]

Sebastian von Fappy Wank got the last laugh.

 

[Tecnniqe]

GET FUCKED

 

[ScribbleD]

This is a whole new level of schadenfreude.

 

[YianGaruga]

They released plenty of games under different names or not? Are those gone as well?

 

[CosmicQueso]

This is a whole new level of schadenfreude.

That word. It does not mean what you think it means.

 

[Meatyhooks]

Some of the best Gifs I've ever seen right here.

 

[paragonpro]

Lol we did it guys

 

[The Silver]

Looks like Jim's pog fueled blood magic rituals have paid off.

 

[klaushm]

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Haha, awesome! Valve lawsuit inbound?

 

[liquidtmd]

'lol who ya gonna sue now Digital Homicide'?

 

[Dizzy]

What a shame. Now DH's masterpieces will be lost forever.

 

[outunderthestars]

God I hope someone interviews the DH guy.

 

[GlamFM]

That word. It does not mean what you think it means.

It actually does.

 

[liquidtmd]

God I hope someone interviews the DH guy.

And risk getting sued?

 

[nded]

That word. It does not mean what you think it means.

Pray tell, what does it mean?

 

[Handy Fake]

It actually does.

To be fair, it means laughing at someone else's misfortune... So when they lose, it will be correct.

 

[Beartruck]

Way to screw yourselves out of your main revenue stream. Congratulations, almost no Steam developer has screwed up as hard as you have screwed up.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

 

[outunderthestars]

It is amazing how much they have let their ego destroy their company.

 

[kiguel182]

They deserve it for trying to sue customers who gave them bad reviews. Oh well, good riddance.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I wish lashman was back on NeoGAF

I algo miss him since I dont use Twitter.

 

[Xater]

You get what you deserve.

 

[tilomite!]

What a crazy situation.

 

[Ludens]

No problem, I doubt they sold games on Steam, since they gave them away right and left to do money with card selling.

 

[GlamFM]

To be fair, it means laughing at someone else's misfortune... So when they lose, it will be correct.

They got delisted. Schafenfreude applies

 

[Lamptramp]

It actually does.

I imagine Cosmic read the post as implying what had actually happened was "schadenfreude" which of course it isn't, what happened is some well deserved comeuppance.

Of course we are all basking in a frothing soapy hot-tub of schadenfreude, but it doesn't describe what DH did to themselves.

Or not, just jumping in in the giddy fun of it all. Fresh bottle of malicious joy anyone?

Digital Uppance has come... icide!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

No problem, I doubt they sold games on Steam, since they gave them away right and left to do money with card selling.

To my knowledge they never gave away Operation: Global Shield or Dungeons Of Kragmor (the two missing pieces of my digital homicide collection...).

The former (which just came out) has a Steamspy power level of about 2000 while the latter is nearly 25000. So that is ~some~ sales.

How does this compare with their other games. The Decimation of Olarath is 3rd least popular and has about 47k while temper tantrum is nearly 200k (so 40% as popular as Bad Rats).

[Pie and Beans]

The main brother who runs the company will probably have early onset dementia in 5 years or so. Paranoia and an addiction to litigating everyone thats "against" you is one of the early warning signs as the brain deteriorates and turns them into massive assholes without a shred of reality left.

 

[atomsk]

A friend of mine thought it would be funny to gift me a shitload of their games a few weeks ago.

I wonder if they still get a cut of the card drop money after being delisted.

Wouldn't want to contribute to them in any way.

 

[Aquillion]

Not sure how their slapping together of stock unity assets ever got through Greenlight anyway.

Most people don't know stock unity assets on sight. If you just look at screenshots and descriptions of their games, at least some of them looked, if not amazing, then at least like they could plausibly be worth playing.

If you don't recognize the stock unity assets, and only see them in screenshots or videos chosen to make them look good, then it looks like they put a lot of work into models and stuff; in that case, it's not until you actually look at a gameplay video (or try to play) that you realize what's up.

 

[gossi]

They ruined their own business. Amazing.

 

[Raist]

Well I guess they're going to sue Valve too now.

 

[Handy Fake]

... You are correct, Sir. I doff my cap.

 

[Mivey]

Well I guess they're going to sue Valve too now.

Well, GabeN had a good run at least. Nothing can stand in DH's wrath. Valve tasks him and he shall have him! He'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before he gives him up!

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

A complete fuck-up of a developer from pretty much every front.

 

[CharlesSurge]

Finally.
