IT JUST KEEPS TUMBLING DOWN

accidental post cont

They tried to sue a games critic, then tried suing 100 steam users. Then Valve ended all cooperation with them, after which they called out for legal help to sue Valve. This is the newest bit.

>Then Valve ended all cooperation with them, after which they called out for legal help to sue Valve

what legal ground do they have to sue Valve?

They took mah jaab!

don't need legal reasons to sue, just a sheet a paper

Literally nothing at all. I'm fairly certain that it says in the developer agreement form that Valve is allowed to terminate cooperation whenever they damn well please.

>its the hourly shitter thread by the delusional eurocucks who spend 24/7 shitposting some random trashy noname developer and literally going to get ass raped by lawyers now because they got subpoenaed
>literally got subpoenaed and judge OK'd the lawsuit and court subpoena to steam
>samefag shitters start spamming shitter threads on Cred Forums trying to enact some social justice retaliation for the impending 50k+ in lawyer fees theyre going to have to deal with

Digital Homicide has displayed a fairly poor understanding of how the law works.

>They took mah jaab!

they deserve it for trying to sue people just for negative reviews

That's not even close, take your Ritalin

>They tried to sue a games critic, then tried suing 100 steam users.

"You can do that?"

You can sue for anything in America.

Whether or not you actually have a valid case is another matter.

>thats not true! take that back!
actually thats exactly whats going on
keep making your hourly shitter threads pretending you're fine and everything is "fine"
and keep making delusional claims about how they are "suing valve" because you don't understand what a subpoena even is. you delusional little child.

So these guys are clearly abusing the system but they're also stupid as all fuck if they think they have even the slightest chance of winning any of their lawsuits.

I really don't get the reasoning behind it all. I think somewhere along the way, they went full fucking retard.

You can technically sue anyone for any reason. I could sue you for drinking water from a red cup if I wanted to. I'd be laughed out of court and the judge would immediately dismiss the case, but I could.

It's depressingly common for shitty companies like this to sue people like this to intimidate them. The main thing to know if you get sued is to ACTUALLY SHOW UP TO COURT. If you don't, even a rediculous, obviously frivilous suit can be ruled summarily against you because you no-showed.

Apparently.

except that the court judge OK'd the subpoena and OK'd the lawsuit in question

>It's depressingly common for shitty companies like this to sue people like this to intimidate them.

but they are going up against Steam.

No.

They're literally suing
>John/Jane Doe #1 a.k.a Dem0nDeZtroYa
>John/Jane Doe #2 a.k.a SkullBurgerz2004
etc....

They subpoena'd Steam for identity of these users because that's the only way their suit can even go to court, but there's no chance in hell Steam is going to actually comply just because the company is butthurt over some reviews.

lol

Why even use itch.io if you can HTML5 games on your own website? There's even free hosting like Github Pages specifically for personal projects

Do I get steam keys?

Valve legally has to comply with that order. They cannot disregard it.

>Karl Pilkington

kek

>they used the nicks because they don't know their real names

Yes. You can sue people for whatever the fuck you want.

And people can sue you right back for wasting their time with a fucking dumbass lawsuit.

Guess which one a judge will actually side with?

>Karl Pilkington

DON'T TALK SHIT KARL
YOU COULD GET SUED

Whatever you say.

Whichever one takes longer so he gets paid more.

If all these defendants have any brains in them, they're going to countersue.

Don't you have a dying company to salvage?

That's not how a judge's job works silly.

OKing a subpoena and ruling in favor of them are two completely different things.

Hilariously their claim includes screenshots of user profiles and forum comments as evidence.
Including this nugget.

I think you're trying way too hard, friend.

How would that even work if the users aren't from US?

>This user has also played as
>Sebastian Von Fappy Wank

Oh god, please tell me this is going to public court so I can get a recording of a grown man itemizing all these usernames...

The process would be so long, complex, and stupid it basically wouldn't.

It wouldn't. For instance, not a single yuropean ISP will divulge the identity tied to an IP.

Privacy laws and all that jaz.

no fucking shit
the lawsuit is going forward
the subpoena is going forward
the little faggots who spend literally fucking years harrassing the devs stalking them and sending them death threats online for year+ are going to be sued and held liable in court for damages
and your little faggot threads begging for social justice thinking youre going to get some help from Cred Forums wont fucking amount to anything because you're literally a fucking whos who that nobody cares about and some dev team that literally nobody fucking cares about

you only singled out and targeted this small time dev team because they were small and weak and you wanted to bully them, and now you are going to be ASS FUCKED with legal fees for the rest of your life because you deserve it , and nobody is going to save you. you're fucked, you're literally cancer and you're getting what you deserve, you cancerous little faggot. now fuck off and die in your pathetic little corner that nobody gives a fuck about.

Yes they can. They can motion to quash, on basis that it violates their ToS with their users (presumably, I've never read the ToS) or that it unduly exposes innocent Steam users to burden.

Valve's a tech company, and tech companies do not like being told to expose their user's private details. They will fight the order and likely file a counterclaim against this little shit.

Thank god this doesn't involve SJW's or Tumblrinas in any shape, way or form. You know for a fact we'd be having 50 active threads on the catalog about this shit for the next month

>It wouldn't. For instance, not a single yuropean ISP will divulge the identity tied to an IP.

They're not asking ISPs for info, they're asking Steam for info, Steam has more than just IPs you moron, you need to input your billing address/name to buy games on steam.

whatever you say digital homicide dev

Hello, Digital Homicide.

t. James Romine

>the little faggots who spend literally fucking years harrassing the devs stalking them and sending them death threats online for year+ are going to be sued and held liable in court for damages

I know a guy called Tyler that might have some helpful advice.

Shhh, go to sleep Digital Homicide.

Not necessarily you moron. For example, I pay via paypal.

They would have to subpoena paypal to get that information. That information is also bogus, so they would have to subpoena the bank that transferred money to that particular paypal account. Which is in Europe.

Good fucking luck m8.

>and sending them death threats online

I hope Valve brings this up the suit to get it as proof that this needs to be thrown out

>billing address/name to buy games on steam

But my real name isn't nowhere in steam nor PayPal

I'm not sure which is sadder, if this is real or if someone took the time to write this for the (you)'s...

wow, calm down m8

Jesus fucking christ do you have ADHD?

Good luck extraditing all the non-Americans in that lawsuit because they said mean things about you on the internet.

I'm sure their respective countries will view your lawsuit with the full respect it deserves.

Which is to say none.

Holy fuck could you spergs out even more?

Do you think it would be any different if they would have to directly subpoena my european bank you doublenigger?

Just McFucking kill yourself.

Or if someone never spent any money inside Steam and just bought those gift card things with cash. Good luck trying to track down someone who used those.

they didn't even insult the devs. They just called their games not being good.

That would be like IFI suing me for this review

that dumb dog is all like "waaaa?" haha

Thats not a dog user but its okay I forgive your shit taste in animals

Looks like Derek Smart is no longer the king retard on the block.

aka not getting why their games are hated. At least NT didn't go to court over people bashing DmC for being the abortion it is

Either its actually him or he deleted the post specifically to add to the ruse, and he's a true master.

Im pretty sure they must have a team on damage control

Nearly all dev's do this

I can't tell if they are actually scam artists or if they just have autism

Except this dev studio is literally just two brothers who can't PR nor make videogames.

Hey Digital Homicide, if you're reading this, this one's for you.

I think this company is just two dudes.

2 autists who scammed people and now throw shitfit

Fucking pahetic

Did you know that the dev of The Slaughtering Grounds FINGERS HIS OWN CHILDREN IN THE NO-NO SPOT? Yep, that's a fact. He's a child molester. You heard it here first. Cheerio.

Didn't they at some point sue that sterling dude? What happened to that?

They're scam artists who believe that they're not scam artists and trying to morally justify their actions.

It's basically the worst kind of scam and the most hilarious kind.

They still probably have a fan base willing to defend them.

>What happened to that?
No one knows. Neither party involved speaks about it anymore.

Dude NO! They'll sue you and Cred Forums!

They actually want to sue Steam because their "DELETE THIS" fit didn't work.
Holy shit what in the world!

>turrent
>i

No, no, they definitely dont. This shit is so bad that even Cred Forums agrees.

Fuck off fag.

Because Jim's legally not allowed to speak about it. Once they go bankrupt and the case falls through he'll probably post a tell all video and it'll be great

Seriously, how the fuck is it possible for someone to create this many games without producing anything even remotely playable if even just by accident?

Someone post the monkey piss video

Karl you maniac

NO! NOT THAT! IF THEY SUE Cred Forums HOW WILL WE BUY VIDYA?!

They're probably holding this sale so they can rake up some cash for court fees lel

No matter how much shit you shovel into a bucket, the only thing you're going to walk away with at the end of the day is shit.

You forgot about the bucket

>shitty devs of scam games
>anything to do with that literal cuck Jim Sterling

Nah, fuck this board and its obsession with drama and e-celeb shit.

They don't even have a lawyer yet, they put their contact e-mail for lawyers interested in the case when they announced they'd sue Valve.

That would be terrible, almost as terrible as being the child of one of the developers and getting fingered by your own father on a daily basis, which is literally what is presently happening in that household.

D:

>Those game titles

Did they even try to be imaginative?

Deep...

This has literally nothing to do with Sterling or any other e-celebs. DH got kicked off of Steam for attempting to sue their users over bad reviews. You're the only here who's displaying an obsession with e-celebs.

he is his wife dude, I'm telling you, she doesnt even exist he impersonates her. I mean just look at "them" they look just the same

[H] The Slaughtering Grounds (removed from Steam) [W] 10 CS:GO keys

The sad thing is that some of their games could actually be fun.

fug

No they couldn't, don't delude yourself

They were trying with this one.

Sort of.

youtube.com/watch?v=ySo8BNjn654

Any bad drag-n-drop asset game could actually be fun.

The sad thing is that some of their games used excellent Unity Store assets (like Galactic Hitman), which I will now and forever associate with their unplayable shit.

What was it?

This seems more like a list of names people use for the "gamers are sociopaths" episodes in police dramas

galactic hitman, temper tantrum and A Fight - in the Garden could be a fun time waster if they put a bit effort into it

You can sue for emotional damage.

You guys are being too harsh, imagine you were the company and you had all these people ripping your shit apart and tearing you down

Its not fair and I think we should try and support the underdog in this scenario, its the right thing to do and you guys know it

Imagine it was you in their shoes

Then again, the developer rapes his children.

I'd take the legitimate criticism, ignore the shitposting, and strive to make better games.

I wouldn't fuck up this much, so nah.

>tfw you buy those shitty GMG mystery bundles and never managed to stumble on one of these pieces of shit

holy shit what's going on in here

>muh feefees

>imagine you made hundreds of shitty little scam games to profiteer from ignorance and people got angry at you
Might actually try that now, I wouldn't be batshit enough to sue people after the fact though, trying to rattle cages was his mistake, could have just kept making shitty games and profiteering

make sure you say they're about your depression or anorexia or struggling with your sexuality, so then you're also critically bulletproof

I in their shoes would have been clever enough not to put up shit like onto Steam (or any other platform) AND actually ask anyone to pay anything for that trash

>jaab
digital homicide is going after jab comics?

It's not like Steam has any sort of quality control so you should be fine.

>I'd take the legitimate criticism, ignore the shitposting, and strive to make better games.

this is what all devs should strive for

Because you could literally make games just as good as those in a week by following the unity/UE4 tutorial. No I'm not exaggerating. With enough practice you could probably shit out one of those turds with 8 hours of work.

So this... is the power... of pc gaming...

You can sue for anything, technically. Doesn't mean you'll win the case.

Though typically suing for anything is for rich people who want to tie up or exhaust people with legal fees and court appearances.

"Should" being the operative word.

They tried to do this several times with titles like "ELT - Extra Large Testicle" and "Wyatt Derp", but no one cared. They were too shit even for that.

>Make shit game
>Get upset when people don't give your shit game a good rating

They can commit Digital Suicide for all I care.

...

Well they might win by default when Valve doesn't show up to the third court appearance.

Steam is not allowed to divulge EU IP information to American courts unless an EU court rules that it can, jackass. This case goes way beyond US law.

the funny thing is, most of those games are the same game with different modelos luls

They're not actually suing Valve. They want to sue Steam users and have therefore issued a subpoena for Valve to hand over the related account details.

...

Savage

...

...

But they would show on the other 2

>Steam is not allowed to divulge EU IP information to American courts unless an EU court rules that it can, jackass

Valve hasn't respected the wonky anti-business EU laws so far, they have no reason to do so now.

I didn't come onto Cred Forums to cry. :'(

How do you think steam refunds became a thing you nignog?

Yeeeess... YEEEES! This is what I live for!

CUTE

>Valve hasn't respected the wonky anti-business EU laws so far,
They have, actually. That's one reason why they overhauled their refund system.

Because they(or it's one person? Who cares) don't have any skills. The person behind the business idea of theirs realised that if they'll get 4153184 games, some will be included in bundles and they will get, dunno, up to $200 a month for 3 months of work for few years.

god bless

The Digital Homicide representative apparently accused BroTeam of giving one if their older employees a heart attack and used the word "gangbang" in his legal statement.

>imagine you make a shit game
its still shit regardless of how much effort you put into it, so people are going to criticize it, If I was in their shoes I would understand that I made my content public and therefore open to be laughed at etc

He's right tho this whole thread is cancerous as fuck

who is this señor gif?

I'm having more fun with these retarded companies fuck ups than with video games nowadays, and this thread has just been a goldmine of laughs.

Can't you just fucking change your name :^)

youtube.com/watch?v=4cd3z9lP5xs

Ah, but he's deviously recorded all their recent aliases also! Truly a mastermind!

Seeing as its all unity assets, couldn't someone remake/improve on the exact same games by spending time on development rather than acting like bitches and suing everyone?

This is a perfect example of why Tony Soprano was only ever truly at peace when he was around animal kind.

The funny part is that he could spend the time he used to make that document and create those shitty games on actually making a mediocre game and he would probably end up with more money.

They're suing Valve now too for taking down their games.

>Being so mad about your shit games getting bad reviews that you sperg out at an entire image board of anonymous users

...

wouldn't be the first time

And it certainly won't be the last.

So this is all just a stunt between Sterling and Digital Homicide right? Like h3h3 productions getting "sued" by that one dude, then they pocketed all the charity money they got for their legal case.

If it is it's a really bad idea as they have over 100 defendants that could launch a counter suit.

Was I late to the party?

>They're suing Valve now too for taking down their games.
citation

No, Sterling was just the catalyst of the eventual downfall of Digital Homicide. It would have been inevitable anyway, and they just fucked themselves even more by trying to sue 100 steam users.

As with all things legal this is a party that will be going for a long time, so no.

Their own website: digitalhomicide.ninja/

It's not, they're just attempting to keep their pride intact by not letting others have the last word, if they could they would sue everyone that has ever talked shit on them

>Like h3h3 productions getting "sued" by that one dude, then they pocketed all the charity money they got for their legal case.
whoa wait WHAT? this is news to me, holy jew batman

First Valve has to give away the names.

lmao these guys are gonna get anally ravaged in court by Valve what the fuck are they thinking.

didn't h3h3 put that money aside for a free speech defense force or something?

>.ninja

what overhaul? there previously were no refunds. did they stop requiring EU users to waive their rights under the immediate delivery clause? did the EU approve of the 2 hour limit on game time?

>whoa wait WHAT? this is news to me, holy jew batman
The case will never go to court. It was a scam cooked up between h3h3 and the prank guy. They'll end up splitting the money, h3h3 will flee to back to Israel (both of them are dual-citizens) and his wife will use her connections to cover boldguy (she was IDF intelligence before she met Ethan).

>he doesn't have his own .butthurt website

The faggot couldn't even use their user id numbers to give the slightest appearance that he knows what he's doing.

Nice conspiracy theory faggot

>he still doesn't own cheese.pizza

This.

And hell, there are devs that made a lot of shitty games but ended up making one or two good games and that easily redeemed them.

If DH just hardened the fuck up and made a half decent game, most people wouldn't really give shit about their previous failures.

Im still pissed that I didn't scoop up sussud.io when I had the chance.

Thanks for reminding me.

I hate jim sterling but if anyone wants context some of these videos are hilarious.
The developer is a 35 year old man who is not even as mature as the average Cred Forums poster.
