[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Beautiful.

 

[James Scott]

Surprised they were able to make a living from their garbage software. Good on steam to finally do something right

 

[EnlightenedMint]

What a beautiful ending lol

 

[GeoramA]

Good riddance. The less devs like these the better.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I do like happy endings.

 

[Menitta]

Hmm...it's almost as if they should've spent that money on making compelling software instead of suing literally everyone...hmmm...

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Lmao, this made me smile more than it should have. Good riddance!

 

[jack_package_200]

I look forward to the Jimquisition on this

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Looks like the case dismissal was requested under 'no prejudice', which according to Tech Raptor allows DH to file the lawsuit again in the future without being subjected to Double Jeopardy. However, the dismissal has not been granted yet.


The Jim Sterling case

Sterling case waits for dismissal decision. No other comment on this.

 

[KyleCross]

All employees should be named and blacklisted from the industry.

This is wrong.

 

[Dunkley]

Surprised they were able to make a living from their garbage software. Good on steam to finally do something right

Imagine having bottom of the barrel production values mixed with a market where people buy eachother terrible games just to troll.

 

[Calm waterfall]

Digital suicide.

 

[J4g3r]

Bye Felicia.

 

[Mephala]

Is there anything in place to stop them from forming a new business, changing some logos and jumping straight back on steam?

 

[MillionStabs]

Sometimes the good guys DO win!

 

[Huddy]

 

[Nokterian]

Jim 'fucking' sterling son.

Good riddance.

 

[BY2K]

So Jim can start talking about it, right?

 

[wiibomb]

Hmm...it's almost as if they should've spent that money on making compelling software instead of suing literally everyone...hmmm...

They don't know the meaning of those words

 

[Akhe]

Jim....................................................Digital Homicide

 

[Sesha]

Bye, Felicia

etc etc

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Bye bitch.

 

[Lashley]

Good.

Thank God for Jim

They've already done this a few times I believe. I know there was one instance where they got in trouble for using the name of an already existing company.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Good fucking riddance that's what happens when you try to sue and valve and commit digital suicide.

 

[DrArchon]

I expect a 1 hour minimum Jimquisition about all of this once the case is finally dismissed. Most of that can be fart noises, but still. At least an hour.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I really hope the dude get the mental care he needs. He legitimately needs some help.

 

[AtomicShroom]

The sad thing is, you know they'll be back in some form soon enough.

They are so full of themselves, so arrogant, so oblivious... These are the types of people that won't stop no matter how deep they dig their own holes.

If they really want to get revenge, they should spend a few years making a really good game, because then they can at least say they're not hacks, and a good game would maybe actually make them money

But they won't, because they're talentless hacks who just want to make a quick buck

Time for Digital Homicide Studios, LLC to sue James Romine for tortious interference.

 

[Dunkley]

Sometimes the good guys DO win!

I mean big surprise here they shot themselves in the foot so many times that even Square could've released like 50 FF13 games on Xbox 360 and still not be as bad as them.

This would require Chains of Love in the intro and outro.

 

[Onaco]

This is wrong.

Suing people based on their opinions is toxic behavior and is dangerous to let spread through the industry. Perhaps blacklisting is extreme, but I would exercise extreme caution with these people.

 

[Jackpot]

The fuck is this from the link in the OP:

The whole thing was a strange, bizarre attempt from a developer to use the harassment angle to attack certain members of the gaming audience. It’s worked for some developers, especially those who adopt third-wave feminism as a crutch. Romine didn’t have feminism to fall back on, though.

 

[LQX]

No doubt they were getting harassed as that is just the nature of the internet but what fucking idiots they had to be to get Valve on their wrong side.

 

[Chindogg]

They're just gonna reopen as another company so I dunno how this is anything beyond a Pyrrhic victory. Suing everyone was idiotic, but until Steam fixes their trading system it's clear that they'll and others will be back to exploit the system.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

They probably figured their best shot of hurting Jim financially was to stop making games for him to make videos of since their lawsuit wasn't going to go anywhere.

 

[Tecnniqe]

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Pretty sure they are just gonna open up with another name and continue their schtick.

Edit: god damn it gaf beaten.

 

[dreamcastmaster]

Did they close down the other companies they have as well?

I know this is going to get passed over while GAF high fives at thier demise. However you just know, and "I'm calling it" that they are just going to start another company to get back on Steam. They sell the game games they "brought the rights for" from Digital Homicide, make sure the registered legal owners are not the original DH owners, probably the wife/girlfriend/neighbour and carry on with thier shit.

They are not very smart guys at all and they have a history of manipulating the system so why would this be any different?

 

[AtomicShroom]

Time for Digital Homicide Studios, LLC to sue James Romine for tortious interference.

Except Digital Homicide Studios consists solely of James Romine and his brother. There isn't a "Studio" to speak of here. Just two guys in their basements.

 

[Deadbeat]

I don't even know how to process this.

Legal trolls usually always win.

*Legal trolls who know what they are doing.

 

[Devilgunman]

They've brought upon themselves, all thanks to Valve's intervention. Fuck these legal trolls.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I doubt Jim will touch this, in case they decide it's a good idea to file a suit on behalf of themselves rather than their dead company.

He'll just smile and move on.

No, it is a legally distinct entity.

[TheGamingBox]

The fuck is this from the link in the OP:

its a gator site, you can spot the gamergate logo on the side

 

[LOLCats]

Im sure theyll just pop up as a new developer name.

Glad they won't be able to bother those people who left negative reviews anymore. The "harassment" though, if the dudes were actually getting threats and stuff like that, should've been taken care of by Steam though, I think.

In any case, I think we all saw this coming. Pretty much my feeling on these guys can be summed up with "Good Riddance..."
