I don't know if you listened to the interview Jim did with the guy, it's hard to listen to, but from that you should know they don't have their shit together.

FTFY
I think those Steam Users do have some responsibility in all this if the claims are true. A Steam Account shouldn't be a license to lie or give false opinion on games. Such accounts should be targeted by Valve to not allow them to post opinions or reviews any longer. There are no winners/heroes here.

can someone summarize what the hell was going on and how this lawsuit thing started?

I believe the case was very solid.
So what will the name of their next studio be?

I mean, I would agree with you if we were talking about a legitimate developer, but DH were clearly shitbags. Their games actually were terrible and no amount of "false opinions," would change that.
There definitely are winners in this, everyone who refused to allow these guys to pump out garbage to make a quick buck.

Reposting from the thread that was just closed:
Someone eventually needs to create cliff notes about this whole ordeal. I don't even know who Digital Homicide is or what they did wrong, but they've popped up in like a dozen Gaf threads over the past month or two. I'm curious about the whole thing but don't know where to begin.
So you were guessing that these opinions were "wrong" just "because" while you know nothing about DH's shovelware crap?My experience with Steam reviews is that they are largely inaccurate and don't at all reflect the content of a game. Maybe the case is different here, but then again maybe the general forum culture for World of Warcraft is not toxic anymore. I doubt it, but anything is possible.
If there is anything I can count on with Steam it is shitty reviews that don't at all help me to decide if a game is worth purchasing. Most of them exist merely to make people laugh or shit on a game in a comedic manner.
Jim Sterling did a Jimpression on a game called Slaughtering Grounds.
Digital Homicide made a review of the review and started bashing it.
Jim Sterling did a review of the review of the review and just laughed his ass off.
Jim Sterling made a couple more reviews of a couple of games that had different publishers. He found out later that all of the publishers were Digital Homicide.
DH did not like that they were being criticized. So they "invited" JS for an interview/podcast. JS agreed and they asked a bunch of questions trying to dox him and/or to get him implicated. They failed miserably and a few other people picked up on it and covered it.
DH really got pissed and decided to sue JS for defamation/slander and all that good jazz. Unfortunately, DH did not have any funds for such a suit and on their "website" had a gofundme for the legal cost.
JS said to bring it on.
DH got even more mad and decided to sue Valve and a bunch of anon accounts for being mean.
Valve stepped in and wiped them off the store.
I think this is gist of the events.
perfect summary. !!
So Valve was also a dick?
No, Valve showed them big dick and slapped DH with it and now they're done.
Oh, I felt they wiped the users that complained about the games.
LOL, who ran that publisher? Bunch of babies, that is why they are gone.
>Shit company makes shit game
>Jim rip the game a new one
>Copy Pasta uploaders do the folloing
>Decide they'll DOX Jim
>That didn't help
>Do interview with Jim
>Make a legal case against him for not liking their games, it's not fair
>At this point;
>Thing seems to calm down but lets fast forward a bit
>Angry at steam reviewers slamming their game
>Tried to file lawsuits against steam users and tries to force Valve to give their information up via a subpoena
>Valve removes them completely from Steam
>They want to go after Valve now for removing them
>Some time goes by...
>We get this thread
Something like that, if I recall all the shit they've done recently.
Yup. That's pretty much what happened. I'm almost sad to see this end. Just because Jim was so entertaining when he called these guys out.
I guess this means no Extra Large Testical II
I don't even know how to process this.
Legal trolls usually always win.
I don't like jimquisition at all. The guy just says "controversial" clickbait things to get views like "Quantum Break Is Blatantly Better
