Because they have harassed Jim to the point of doxying him, make bad asset flip games and tried to sue 100 users on steam with Jim. They brought this on themselves
Edit: I just got the joke. I'm slow

The US really needs to sort that shit out. This doesn't need to happen for the justice system to work.
Nope. Jim must pay his own legal fees 😲
It does mean that these complaints can never be recharged, however.
He agreed to not pursue Romine for legal fees.
Damn, that kinda sucks for Jim that he had to go through this long stupid process and then pay for it out of his own pocket.
Gonna need to stock on popcorn.
HYPE TRAILER!!!

about time this wrapped up.
Hope Jim is partying this a little first and not directly working his ass off for a post-mortem.

I don't really follow Jim Sterling's stuff, but I'm glad about this outcome. The lawsuit was some messed up crap that could have been very damaging to Sterling, but there's always that worry that they could have found a way to game the legal system.

No legal precedent, sure, but at least anecdotally. If you're a dev looking to gag someone and claim damages for their negative opinions regarding your game then this will likely make you reconsider. If someone so apparently committed to pursuing the lawsuit hits this outcome pre-trial, that certainly sets an informal precedent.
I mean I agree with your point, you're right, but I just think that's what the poster talking about precedent meant.
Not really. The guy was pursuing his claims pro se. And there are likely no consequences coming his way other than he agreed to dismiss the case. I don't know why anyone in the future who might have otherwise decided to sue someone in a similar situation would think twice because of the outcome here, particularly if they actually have a good faith basis to bring claims.

That only works with level-headed individuals. I'm sure the next Raging Romine won't let this slow him down, much less cause him to reconsider. That's also ignoring that filing suit isn't always with the expectation of winning. Sometimes it just about being a pain in somebody's ass.

He is incredible funny and talented. I really enjoy Jim Sterling
Jesus, Greenlight is dying, DigiHom ended it's crusade against Jim, Konami isn't doing much to piss off people anymore, I feel like this the start of a new era for the Jimquisition brand.
Like, we're finally entering "Jimquisition: The Golden Age Arc", or "Jimquisition: The Boglin Retrieval Arc". Or maybe a tournament arc, I don't know what Jim has planned honestly.

I was very surprised when I read that compensation of legal fees will not be pursued.
That is shockingly nice Jim. Good on you.
