The case dismissal was only due to financial reasons caused by the removal of our games. I believe the case was very solid. There were in excess of 140 false statements by the 11 steam users, tens of thousands of posts harassing myself and my customers, three direct interference with written contracts with third parties by steam users (some of which were competitors), and much more. A combined in excess of 25 reports were filed against the worst users of the 11 with no resolutions being found.

Inevitable really.

Jim fucking sterling son

So Jim can breathe now?

Onaco · Oct 3, 2016

All employees should be named and blacklisted from the industry.

DeathSparks · Oct 3, 2016

HAHAHAHAHAHA Goodbye and good riddance

Jamiaro · Oct 3, 2016

Serves them right. No regrets.

Isn't it just two guys who are awful? Anyone who worked for/with them and is competent doesn't deserve to never do their job again.

LMFAO

Next week's Jimquisition will be glorious.

Edit: ~~He can speak freely of it now, correct?~~ nvm, article wouldn't load but seems this is just against the steam users.

jetjevons · Oct 3, 2016

I don't even know how to process this.

Legal trolls usually always win.

ultracal31 · Oct 3, 2016

The link to the article is acting funky so I'll ask here:

Is it a lawsuit drop against steam users and the Jim sterling one as well?

EvilKatarn · Oct 3, 2016

lol, what an utter clown.

End of an era. This was an entertaining journey.

LiK · Oct 3, 2016

Jim, it's time.

Rellik · Oct 3, 2016

Good riddance.

Gaspard · Oct 3, 2016

Wow, they're sticking to their guns until the end.

Tragic for the families of those involved with this loony company. I hope the legal charges don't leave them in deep financial struggles.

Salty Rice · Oct 3, 2016

Shocking. Cant wait for the next Jimquisition.

Dunkley · Oct 3, 2016

“We may have been painted in a negative customer light by gaming media, truthfully we’ve been fighting for lower prices and a more open market – which to me is the most important thing for consumers.”

As the article author states themselves, it really is hard to believe that when that guy tried to sue Steam users.

The article says that their case against Jim isn't done yet.

Not yet anyway. They'll have no funds to continue.

I don't know, I don't remember any recent and notable cases of patent trolls winning. That being said, I usually only follow the cases against Nintendo, and that company has some insane lawyers.

NinjaCoachZ · Oct 3, 2016

They should sue themselves for closing down and thus robbing themselves of any future business opportunities. Scoundrels.

Kouriozan · Oct 3, 2016

That's Karma for you.

That's a different lawsuit. The full quotes can be found here, he brings up the Sterling lawsuit as well as this one: https://techraptor.net/content/digital-homicide-dismiss-steam-users

LOL I was Ninja'd by you and by the person I was quoting. How horrible.

Savitar · Oct 3, 2016

They'll be back.

You know they will be.

As someone else or part of something.......but we'll hear from them again, anyone that thinks they're going to walk away now are deluded. So were they.

ambar_hitman · Oct 3, 2016

Case was as solid as water.

This means I never have to hear about them again, right? ...right?

stilgar · Oct 3, 2016

Looks like their only victim was themselves, after all*

*I know. There's only so much puns a man can do dammit

CambriaRising · Oct 3, 2016

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

Exactly what I was going to post. It's going to be legendary.

Fantastapotamus · Oct 3, 2016

They will come back next week under a new name and with a new wacky scheme though.

-shadow- · Oct 3, 2016

Will there be a Jimquisition about this? Because this is hilarious!

Sephzilla · Oct 3, 2016

Given how rational their other legal pursuits have been so far, I honestly wouldn't put it past them to try.
