Digital Homicide trying to sue Steam users

[The Artificially Prolonged]

If these guys spent half the effort they put into suing people into making games, their games would likely not be as shit and probably would not be universally panned.

Is there any legal thing in the US which clams down on people wasting the legal system's time on a load of pointless lawsuits? Because Digital Homicide need hitting with it and hard.

Hell at this point I think these guys should just be sectioned for mental health reasons as this level of delusion is clearly not healthy.

There is, actually. They could be declared vexatious litigants, which would prevent them from filing any further lawsuits without the approval of a judge or lawyer ahead of time. And no, self-representation is not a way around that.

I have never seen a developer go to this level of Madness. What the hell is there end goal? why do they think they can win this? I have never been more baffle at a companies decisions in a long time...

...It truly is beautiful.

My hope is this will set some precedents to help future cases against stupid bullshit.

 

[FalloutJack]

Such lametry! Such ridiculousness! These boys should be put away!

 

[PurplePonyArcade]

I can't even begin to find a way to take this hilarious case seriously!

Guess they're in the frivolous litigation business now. Because this genius move is doing wonders for their game business:

OH MY GAWD!!! I'M LAUGHING LIKE A MADMAN RIGHT NOW!!! So beautiful. Poetic justice.

I can't wait for the full disclosure Jimquisition episode...

 

[Erttheking]

....Just when you think you hit the bottom of the rabbit hole, the Queen of Hearts orders a few sub levels dug out.

I'd post a certain Tropic Thunder meme if I wouldn't get suspended as a result.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

This is some next-level shit here, guys. DigiRev have shattered the very walls of reality. Set course for the Twilight Zone!

 

[Bilious Green_v1legacy]

Now they've really done it. They've been smote by the fiery fist of Gaben. Glorious!

Anyone else wondering if it's all purely for attention at this point?

The kind of attention he thinks he'll get from this that'll do him any good is all in the mind of the deranged clown that believes that bad PR ever helps. So, with that in mind, I would say that the boy's just all over the board from Crazy-Go-Nuts University, thinking he can take on the world with just a chip on his shoulder.

Jim Sterling is going to lick his lips from this... I can't wait. I just can't wait XD

With all seriousness, if this drama finally is over, Jim will be so sick of it that he won't even bother to talk about D.H. for a long time.

Oh gods, the featured comment on that Destructoid article is made of pure gold:

Sounds like Digital Homicide is committing Legal Suicide

 

[Xan Krieger]

And now all their games have been removed from Steam

Finally proof that there is justice in the world.

Love the reaction from Valve on this.

Love the reaction from Valve on this.

(sarcasmm on)Yeah Valve are real champs here.(sarcasm off) This company has been shovelling shite on to their store front for the last two years and Valve has sat back and let it happen without lifting a finger but the second they ask Valve to hand over the details of some users who posted 'poor' reviews on their comments and review sections...

Valve are just as liable for this whole heap of nonsense by having zero QC control over what was going on within it's Greenlight Store, this whole saga could have been put down by Valve themselves over a year and a half ago when the fifth or sixth load of shitware in 3 months was being posted to their Greenlight service, but no as long as DH paid the upload fees Valve were happy to sit back and let this entire shit show fester.

On a side note I haven't seen any info about who they are trying to sue beyond 'they are suing Steam users / reviewers' but from what I have read in the past some of the 'reviews' being posted on their game pages would (under new laws in the UK) have resulted in criminal action being taken against the reviewer, THAT is how extreme some of the stuff being said was.

End of the day, this entire thing could have been stopped by Valve over a year ago.
