Homicide (The Jimquisition)

[@rainwhater]

I honestly hope they never stop. Digital Homicide is like the Steam equivalent of those crappy plastic Chinese "consoles". Their products are terrible, take no effort, are hilarious to review, and have both made the career of a British content creator far better than one could imagine. Keep ripping them a new one, Jim. I want to see them cry.

[@rainwhater]

Yet they still both exist. Strange, huh.

[@rainwhater]

Also, DH has one thing to fear that that Chinese plastic crap doesn't: Jim F'n Sterling, son.

[@spoonfairy1723]

+Brink Brungus To be fair, the chinese iQue Player console is fucking dope! A N64 console built in to a N64 controller as a loophole to avoid their console ban law

[@ruekurei88]

+Brink Brungus Digital Homicide, the Popstation of game developers.

[@kosmosyche]

+Spoon Fairy iQue company is a 100% Nintendo-owned subsidiary. So it's not really a Chinese console, it is a Nintendo console in (very light and transparent) disguise.

[@Lecruidant]

He has a "Lawyer" yet when it came up, guess what? THEY ARE REPRESENTING THEMSELVES. Imagine that. more shit from shit

[@rossmallo]

They may have had a lawyer at the time, but maybe they saw who they were representing and abandoned ship.

[@freakklomp]

as they said in their gofundme page , yes they actualy have a gofundme page for the lawsuit. ( this is my way of seeing it ) * we had a lawyer but we dont have money to pay him , support us for being stupid please , ow and we will buy hammer clips with it as well (thats on the second or third update they put out) * saying that the reviews have hurt their business and now they cant pay for the lawer . remember that this shit has been going on for almost 2 years .

[@uuu12343]

yugi4000 pretty sure that most negative reviews on the contrary, usually helps the game get publicity and a free one at that, reverse psychology and this developing company didn't realise that one chance they had gotten to strike it rich? Figure that out

[@Ironman1o1]

Almost for sure the case. They are suing Jim for 10-15 million. Lawyers take anywhere from 10% to 25% of a settlement typically. That's 7 figures for the Lawyer. If this case had even a rotten peg leg to stand on, Lawyers would be climbing over each other to take the case. They ain't. Says it all right there.

[@freakklomp]

Ironman1o1 the case was a dud either way . they just burned trough their last bit of money and that was that . no more digital homicide ,

[@zaphael0]

Thank fucking lord Valve finally removed all their games off of Steam.

[@OsmosisHD]

Even funnier, they want to face Valve in court! Good luck with that, it's like the retarded nephew of David vs Goliath

[@AndrewChumKaser]

It'd be like some homeless guy suing microsoft. That's the level these idiot brothers are willing to go to. That's just how dumb they truly are. They just up and sue Valve. I can't help but laugh at all this. I hope Digi-Hom gets their asses fucking demolished in court.

[@DreKozar]

+theultimateshitlord Only issue there is their names are tied to the company register, and if they fake their names on the register, I do believe that bumps it to a federal crime, although I'm not 100% on that.

[@Daumex]

It's official, they're fucked: they dropped the case for lack of money. Check Eurogamer . net

[@legion999]

@Daumex Oh, what's wrong Digital Homicide, you can't afford to have 3 legal battles at once? What a surprise

[@Ignitablegamer]

So glad digital shit is banned from steam now

[@FizzleFX]

Posted him this news earlier on Twitter+Site+FB :D I CANT WAIT for him to throw a party!

[@Shorty_Lickens]

why is nobody calling them Digital Suicide?

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

Apperantly it was because they were escalating their hostility towards Steam users. They targeted about 100 users and tried to get a lawsuit against them for 'personal Injuries' until Valve finally went "You fuckers have gone too far."

[@ShhhHhhhz]

[@MrFutago87]

I'm wonderin, what kind of game could DH have made if they concentrated on one game and didn't waste their energy on this stupid unneccessary feud with Jim. Would they be able to make something decent? I'm not sure.

[@Bob_Piss]

[@deusignis6377]

+MrFutago87 From the way they make their games, there's a good chance they have no talent in art or game programming. So it would probably be even worse.

[@Legitpenguins99]

The best part about the whole digital homicide lawsuit is the huge amount of attention, and thus new fans it drew to Jim. I for one found out about his channel because i heard of the lawsuit. Congrats Digi hom, "you played yourself"

[@Ashtarte3D]

Aww Jim, you missed the best part of the MGS5 FOB protection scam. When the game launched they kept telling us you never had to go online. Well that changed on Tuesday last week when the patch dropped, not only is it MANDATORY to have an FOB to progress through the story past a certain point, but it also automatically puts 80% of your resources on the FOB and you CAN'T UNDO THAT. Better yet, the online section is riddled with cheaters, wallhackers and noclippers. They'll just fly into your base when you aren't online and ransack it. It's gotten so bad the best course of action is to do nothing with your FOB defenses wise, so you lose less when it's raided. And it will be raided. Yet again, a game has been fucked up so bad pirates get the better deal.

[@f1s53r]

+OgreSamanosuke Well so much for metal gear solid 5 then. I was hoping to give the franchise another go after 4 (shouldn't have started on that one) guess I'll have to get the older games then.

[@thkarape]

Does it still work if I turn the wifi of on my console?

[@Crade1]

+OgreSamanosuke I dunno, man, I've disabled my internet before they forced me to create an fob, and when stuck in offline mode the fob creation gets skipped. and you can't go online without agreeing to their online terms of service... which i always decline at the startup. they cant force me to stay online, because I literally don't play by the rules.

[@CH3353N1NJ45]

It would not suprise me if Konami's black magic clusterskullfuckery started when mgs4 was already in development.

[@richardvlasek2445]

I bought the game for full retail price, can't even run it because I have a phenom II X965. So I downloaded a pirated copy, and guess fucking what, it worked instantly. I don't even know how, but praise Skidrow.

[@DivinityOfBLaze]

Contrary to popular belief Digital Homicide can actually force Jim to stop making videos about them in which he basically calls them out on their bullshit. Alas it requires the creation of a game that isn't shit tier and we all know that will never happen.

[@stephen2624]

+DivinityOfBLaze As much of an asshole Phil Fish, he actually put effort into making a decent game and gave up altogether after a heated argument. Digital Homicide is just going in deeper and deeper.

[@DrShaym]

Don't you have to fill out tax forms to sell games on Steam? You'd think Valve would see them putting the same names and social security numbers on forms and would say, "hey, why are you trying to open multiple accounts? Are you trying to rip people off without them knowing who you are?"

[@Mustang424]

+Dr Shaym No. Steam probably allows numerous DBA shells onto their service willingly. For example, let's say I am an developer who wants to make FPS Horror games and Children's Educational games. Two clearly different genres that a developer would want to have two clearly different company names for even if the staff is all the same. Normally, only larger devs/publishers would take advantage of that feature, but digital homicide is probably the most active burst sewage pipe on steam.

[@DrShaym]

+Mustang424 There really ought to be a limit to how many names you can register, at least within a certain span of time.

[@fotakatos]

I don't think that offering a settlement ahead of a lawsuit is legally considered blackmail. Edit: Oh wait, read up on it, settlement discussions ahead of a lawsuit can actually count as blackmail. I'm not sure where the line is, though. Apparently the time and way the settlement offer is presented is relevant. Guess you were right.

[@johnreeseie8903]

wait, its over?

[@juicymcjuice]

If they ever appear on court

[@EsteemedReptile]

@ john reeseie Well, the case against Valve and the Steam users is officially binned. According to Romine the case had to be dropped because the removal of his games from the Steam storefront put him in such dire financial straits that he could not afford to keep paying the necessary legal fees. His reasons may very well be true, but we all know that DigiHom isn't exactly swimming in sales and the case itself is an absurd joke, so in all likelihood the motion to dismiss would have gone through whether Romine could afford to pay the fees or not, so his reasons are probably caked in the same victimizing bullshit he slathers onto everything he says. As to Digihom V Stanton, there is no 'official' statement from either parties just yet as the case is still waiting to resolve a motion to dismiss. Given DigiHoms case against Valve got chucked with what is essentially the same motion, one can reasonably assume the same thing is about to happen with their case against Jim, as the Valve case will only give Jim more ammo (as if he needed it). If they can't afford to pay for one case, I seriously doubt they can afford to pay for another for any longer than what it will take for the motion to dismiss to be resolved. James Romine has already stated that "Digital Homicide is destroyed" so I think it's pretty clear cut at this point. Basically, they are in their death throes right now, so keep an ear to the ground and we'll probably see it all concluded by the end of the month. Good riddance.

[@or10nsharkfin]

8:00 It was James Romine. James Romine was the lawyer that wanted to sue for defamation and was simultaneously on-board with the plan. The same James Romine that wanted compensation for having to learn law so he didn’t have to pay a lawyer. This makes perfect sense given what we learned from the conclusion video.

[@timbonetonight.4416]

[@jessaminehaak8253]

I'm pretty sure "come to an understanding" is the same thing gangsters say to avoid out-and-out prosecution for making threats. It's reached the stage where "come to an understanding" is more of a threat than "I'm going to fuck you up!" is.

[@Birdblizzard]

"I'm going to fuck you up!" is a statement. Nothing wrong with that.

[@franconbean]

+Birdblizzard It's quite a threatening statement though, no? :P

[@DarkShaft210]

yes, it is threatening.

[@EmpressTiffanyOfBrittany]

+Jessamine Haak Actually, you're not far off. A very prevalent and highly important activity between Italian-American gangsters was the "sit-down." It was rather informal, considering what they usually talked about during them, but it is why the Mafia was so effective and so sturdy for so many years in America and elsewhere in the world. A sit-down is a quasi-formal gathering of gangsters to discuss business, among other things. Sit-downs were essential to the operations of the Mafia because it was a very effective way to conduct diplomacy, which was also essential. The gangsters would set up a meeting that could be easily re-scheduled, so that there was no pressure felt to attend a sit-down. The gangsters would meet up in a place that was comfortable but not necessarily public, though if business was minor, they usually just went to a restaurant or a bar, unless the business was very serious or liable to get emotional. Once there, they'd make themselves very comfy, hence the term "sit-down", because an essential part of a good sit-down is that you're comfy, so the chairs have to be great. And then they would have an informal round-table about business, where issues would then come up in between casual chatting, jokes, maybe even some feels if the gangsters know each other well enough. Usually, through sit-downs, gangsters would avoid anything rash having to be done, such as an execution, or needing to deal with the police, which organized criminals really hate doing, since they feel that they can police themselves, and cooperating with cops makes you a rat either way, even if you're in the right. Business being talked about in such a casual environment promotes camaraderie, peace and logic, which was preferable to the stereotype of gangsters as solving a lot of their problems through violence, which is messy, difficult to hide, and brings attention from the authorities. It's really not talked about in a lot of gangster movies because it can be rather boring, but it's really how the real Mafia operated. Hence why for a long time people didn't even think it existed. So, yeah, there's more similarities between Digital Suicide and organized crime than you think.

[@johnnonamegibbon3580]

[@Incinerico]

Proof positive once again of what we all knew as soon as the news broke that MGS5 would have microtransactions...the game was designed around making the FOB system critical to your gameplay and as willfully non-optional as any microtransaction system I've ever seen in a Free-to-Start game. All the more galling to me is the fact that I was one of those idiotic suckers who shelled out £100 for the woeful disappointment that was the Collectors Edition, making these microtransactions and cap-in-hand horse armour DLC items all the more offensive, all the more galling. I've had alot of good times with MGS5, no doubt and have clocked 280+ hours into it, so I can't complain that I haven't had my moneys worth, but it saddens me that a game that had the potential to be a truly incredible classic that I think really could have been a contender for 'Game of the Ever' is almost completely ruined by its unfinished story, horrific portrayal of Quiet (A character who could have been great, but instead is an insulting 'trophy' for the player to gawk at, with all the characterisation, exposition and genuine care of a discarded crisp packet.) and rushed final missions. (Mission 45 is one of the worst missions I've ever played in any game.) Fuck Konami, because somehow, amazingly, like a shit covered Phoenix rising from a steaming, smoking pile of burnt D-Horse manure, they always manage to get us talking about them, always drawing attention. They say no publicity is bad publicity, but whoever coined that phrase obviously didn't see Konami coming...a company that actively, deliberately alienate their fanbases and shit all over their own customers for reasons that are never clear or understandable. Absolute pile of wankers.

[@livirus3826]

I don't know anything about Konami, so could you enlighten me on why they are hated to the same level as Activision and EA?

[@tegandetermann3299]

​@@livirus3826They have shown blatant disrespect for both their employees and their customers going back DECADES.

[@Klishar122]

So at this point, DH is suing Jim Sterling for $15 million, wants to sue 100 Steam users for $18 million, Valve has removed all their games from Steam, and they want to sue Valve?!? Like, seriously Digi Hom, how deep are you going with this?!?

[@nil525]

Maybe they're convinced if they sue enough people, at some point SOME money will come their way. I still crack up remembering when they tried to crowdfund their legal campaign and had people donating minuscule amounts in things like Liberian shillings, which cost them, rather than made them money. I think they've got like $425 of the 75k or something needed to retain that lawyer. What's astonishing to me is that a judge granted their subpoena to effectively dox the Steam uses who "personally injured" them. They're basically the real life version of Scott the Canadian from South Park; consummate dicks who don't know when to give it up. Except Scott had some good points at times, whereas these dickheads don't.

[@Klishar122]

Little something else about that subpoena: turns out when they submitted it to Valve, it wasn't signed by a judge. So not only are they trying to use the legal system to attack people, they're demonstrating a woeful misunderstanding of the legal system. And all of this without a lawyer to speak of.

[@Hammerhead547]

You know what they say about the person who chooses to represent themselves in court: he as an idiot for a client and a fool for a lawyer.

The fact that free demos aren't as common as they used to be doesn't help in the slightest.

[@Saieras]

Nineteen releases. Nineteen opportunities to learn a thing or two about game development. Nineteen experiences in running a business. And they have learned nothing. Digital Homicide is to video games as Christian Weston Chandler is to web comics.

[@battlion507]

+Saieras Holy F^CK! That is the newest low upon game development. This is wrong...

[@MrSomebodyStrange]

+Saieras They aren't as entertaining though. Now give it a minute to sink in: Digital Homicide got pwned by Chris.

[@battlion507]

Here's another thing that just bothers me: For many developers that have actually put some work and failed, I'd be like man that sucks. I should not be having thoughts of "at least they tried". It's just sickening, Hell even Bubsy 3D, Sonic 06, or even Daikatana tried while having their (mascot/ star developer/ quality/ etc.) fall into economic decline, shunned by all gamers, or a turn of terrible quality and rational thought. DH has nothing to look up toward, and even *IF* they made a good game, their reputation would fall harder than a Phil Fish breakdown. And oh yeah, Chris-chan also made music... yeah, I'm not kidding...

If Digital Homicide becames a larger company, they would be called Konami.

[@Mustang424]

+Tommy9834 Konami made the MGS series, Castlevania, Contra, Dance Dance Revolution, and Suikoden. If Digital Homicide was larger, they would be the current iteration of Atari, releasing nothing but utter shit as quickly as possible.

[@DivinityOfBLaze]

Wait doesn't it cost $100 to get a game on greenlight? So DH put $900 down for their 9 games on greenlight. Who in the fuck is buying their games?!

[@Dragonsamuari]

+DivinityOfBLaze You'd think that, but apparently $100 is basically the "lifetime pass", otherwise we'd have waaaaaay less shit games on Steam if it really was 100 bucks a game.

[@NotSpecialDude]

+Dragonsamurai except they are doing it under different accounts. I assume the lifetime pass applies to only one account so yeah, they stupid.

[@Dragonsamuari]

sonicjrYOYO I suppose so, but even then....that's still a lot of money to throw away.

[@StrangestEcho4754]

+DivinityOfBLaze +Dragonsamurai They're also buying all the models and sound files that go into their games, which probably adds up to a least a few hundred.

[@364dragonrider]

Of all the bears, Jim is probably the one you want to poke the least. I do enjoy how this video towards the end seems almost like a declaration of war. With the benefit of hindsight it’s like in a strategy game when a positively feeble opponent tries to challenge an infinitely more powerful empire and then gets just smacked, and almost casually destroyed. It’s great.

[@KarmaRadaan]

I'm excited for the final Episode in this Saga, which will probably be called "Digital Suicide"

[@CaptainSpycrab]

+DaS BaDOS I doubt it'll happen, at least until the court case is officially closed. I don't know a whole lot about American law, but I'm pretty sure there's something that prevents participants in an active court case from talking about said court case publicly. That said, in a recent Jimpressions video, Jim made an offhand, vague comment that last weekend 'saw decisions made', so maybe that'll happen sooner rather than later.

[@KarmaRadaan]

+CaptainSpycrab Yeah I actually meant that. I meant that I'm excited for the last episode, when the court case is over and DigiHom is Bankrupt or at least learned their lesson.

[@AegixDrakan]

And then the defamation lawsuit was declared. Wow. Took them a year to make that mistake. XD

[@DyoKasparov]

Jim, I have a problem. I was watching your DH-related videos because of the recent events and I really like your DH-related, old and new videos aswell. BUT looking at this much shit at once made me want to play the games, who should I consult? Should I go to a hospital, and if yes what should I say there?

[@rzq100]

Nah. If it's contagious people could still catch it from his corpse. We wouldn't wanna do that to the first responders. He should inform the CDC so they can quarantine him

[@DyoKasparov]

I might be one of the secret SCPs :) SCP-3000

[@Prizzlesticks]

Yes, you should definitely go to the hospital. It sounds like a terrible psychotic break you're having. If for some reason the doctor you meet doesn't take your plight seriously, just inform him or her that you are Digital Suicidal, and you're a danger to yourself or others. nbd, they'll set you up in a mild room with no environmental stressors or temptations. You'll be just fine. Best of luck to you!
