After Hogan took down Kotaku, it looks like Jim Sterling is next. Game developer Digital Homicide.

>>331406594
Does it matter at this point? All the clicks in the world won't make them $115 million.
>>331406594
fuck off retard, learn to use adblock
I clicked the link 10 times just so you fucking autist get mad
>>331406594
I think there's a site that lets you read Kotaku without going to Kotaku but I forget it. I'm sure someone else will fix it up for me.
>took down Kotaku
>links to kotaku
>>331406640
That is true. After the incident, I started browsing their sites without caring just to see what stupid shit they're reporting on in their final days.
>Over a game review of Slaughtering Grounds
Yeah, good luck with that.
Yes, pic related.
>>331406594
Use a competent adblocking software (something like uBlock Origin, not the goyim shit that sells info to ad companies). Use RequestPolicy, Scriptblock, Disconnect and Self-Destructing Cookies.

I hope so. Fuck those nerds.
>>331406524
>Hogan took down Kotaku
>followed by link to Kotaku
I don't think your first statement is accurate.
They have no way of winning. I dunno why they'd even bother to waste money going to court over this.
>>331406524
I guarantee you someone will buy Gawker and kotaku will live.
With all the press this is getting, it would be foolish not to snatch it up.
You faggots are celebrating too soon.
Now, this is an actual bullshit case.
Sterling is getting sued for criticizing a (shit) game and it developer. This is a true "press freedom" scenario, unlike what Gawker was trying to make it.
>>331407015
Sterling made trashing this pissant shovelware dev his life's work and periodically sent his autistic fanboys to harass them.
>>331406991
>Buying a company that is at least $100.000.000 in debt.
No.
>>331407015
>>331407231
This. He literally sent them a bag of shit.
>>331406667
>adblock
You know they get avenue from their traffick as well?
>>331406524
Whatever your opinion of Sterling he's clearly in the right in this situation. Sorry but I'm not going to support a bunch of shitty developers acting like babies because someone makes fun of how bad their games are on the internet, not even to participate in a /v/ hate bandwagon.
>>331407306
right now, he's in the process of liquidizing his assets. There will be nothing left but the trademarks, copyrights, and domains - which is all you want.
As for any left over debt - considering the company made 300mil in 4 years - you can probably cover it in a year or so. Especially with all the free press it's getting.
>>331407389
>get avenue from their traffick as well
you have no idea how the internet work, huh?
>>331407231
Sounds like he's basically /v/, then.
If you dont pastebin, and spread their link you are an idiot.
Of course not everyone will have adblock, and yiu just gave them clicks. Shame on you, op
>>331407630
Oh no, I gave Kotaku clicks. They will make so much money.
>>331407483
if you liquidize assets then the company ceases to exist. Where are they going to do any work if they sell all the company assets and lay off all the people working for them?

Anon there's a difference between a best case scenario and something actually being good
>people seriously think Jim is going to lose
The case is going to get laughed out of court.
Even if not, he won't have to pay more than a couple thousand just to shut the chucklefucks up and make them feel better after someone rightfully shits on their "game" that has no reason to be on Steam in the first place.
They won't win.
>>331407796
you don't need their office or their people. You just want the trademarks, copyrights, and domains.
If anything, you'd want to hire your own people (or look into a cheaper model of pumping out articles for cheap > user submitted content)
>>331407887
>best case scenario is is fascism
Even fucking hillary would be better than putting that retard in office
>Sueing someone over crticism of there shitty game
Top kek, that lawsuit won't hold water.
>>331408024
>that retard
Sanders?
>>331407905
Even if Jim loses it's not going to cost him 10 mil. Their games are too crap for that.
>>331408058
There's plenty to criticize about Sanders, but there's literally zero basis for calling him a fascist, which is the opposite of the case with Trump.
>>331408031
Pretty sure he is being sued for libel.
You can only talk shit about people if you can prove everything you've said is true.
>>331407905
>that has no reason to be on Steam in the first place.
It got voted on via greenlight. I was one of the voters.
>>331406524
gofundmedotcomSLASH47uexn9c so uh. Quite the legal team they've drummed up.
>>331408157
So I can sue people who criticize me? Damn, I better sue everyone around me then.
>>331408157
Read the details, the things they are calling libel are a major stretch. It's very obvious they are just doing it because they want him to shut up about their horrible games.
>>331408239
No, but if I write an article calling you a thief, then cannot prove you stole anything, you can sue me.
Which is what is happening here.
>>331408241
>A stretch
He claimed they used stolen resources, he is calling them thieves. If he has no evidence to support this claim, there is no doubt involved at all. It is libel.
>>331406524
you seriously think someone is going to win a case where they're suing someone for calling their game shit?
>>331408109
look at this poor faggot and laugh. What a world to live in where nationalism is suddenly fascism.
>>331408239
No, because you are a retard, so whatever people say about you is probably true.
>>331408441
Oh damn anon, reduce salt and drink some water :^)
>>331408481
Salt from what? What you wrote is just retarded, don't go reading too much into it.
I hope Jim Sterling loses and dies homeless, sick and alone.
>>331408520
No need to be salty anon. Calm down.
>>331408524
even if he doesnt lose he'll still die sick and alone
>>331408562
losing this case will hopefully expedite it.
>>331408342
>He claimed they used stolen resources, he is calling them thieves. If he has no evidence to support this claim, there is no doubt involved at all. It is libel.
I don't think he ever claimed they "stole resources", but that they lazily slapped together a shitty game with pre-baked assets and little work of their own.
>>331408552
Do you make other noises? What if I call you gay, do you whip out a reaction picture or stuff like that?
>>331407306
It's Gawker not Kotaku that's gotta pay
Selling assets is probably how the owner will get the money to pay
Gawker would just sell Kotaku to someone else. Gawker isn't going anywhere either, a Russian company invested into Gawker preparing for the possibility that they lost the lawsuit. Stop kidding yourselves.
>>331408723
Kotaku is owned by Gawker, dude.
>>331408689
Reduce salt anon ;)
>>331408342
>>331408649
What happened was that he pointed out artwork they were using to promote their game was from someone's DeviantArt page, which was factually true and he linked to prove it. However the art in question was also available to purchase on Shutterstock, and he later updated the article to clarify that once he was made aware of it.
>>331408427
But facism is the extreme form of nationalism.
>>331408754
Nothing, huh? Well, that was no fun.
When do the layoffs at Kotaku start?
>>331408780
I'm immune to shitposting anon. Nice try though.
>>331407483
They did not made 300 million in 4 years, they are valued at 300 million. They made about 13 million in 4 years.
How do you think this guy is feeling right about now?
>>331408835
I guess shit itself is immune to feces. Makes sense.
>>331408752
Yeah, and they'll most likely sell Kotaku to fund the payment
>>331408932

Right on cue.
>>331409054
Cue of what? Salt?
>>331409038
Mainly it was because I got a free copy out of it (though he flaked on giving out copies for quite some time and was one of the very few developers I've dealt with that was like this, the other being the Pizzarian guy) and I like collecting free Steam games, no matter how shitty.
But it's also because I don't care about this nonsense people keep spewing about the quality of the Steam store and it makes me laugh to see them get their panties in a wad every time some new shit game manages to get released on Steam. News flash, idiots, shit games are going to exist no matter what. Trying to keep a couple of them off the store isn't going to stop the flood.
>>331406524
Jim Sterling is a complete faggot. But he's not in the wrong here.
>>331409013
Tricked you, now I know your name. Enjoy having your funds drained, Mr. Guest.

Have fun sounding like a complete retard by yorself~
>>331409245
OH NO
So purchasing assets and slapping together a game to make money on Steam is a natural order of the vidya life cycle, but purchasing that game and making videos with it to make money on youtube is a horrible exploitation of other people's work?

You really think a couple articles is noteworthy? You vastly overestimate the attention span of people.
>>331408959
and everyone working for Kotaku will get fired. The writing's on the wall, the twitter posts have been witnessed.
>>331409419
What are you babbling about? No one in this situation is making both of those claims together.
>Digital fucking Homicide
These retards couldn't make a good game if their lives were on the line.
>>331409005
Was he fired or did he quit?
>>331410048
Not what's at stake here.
>>331410251
He quit.
They haven't got a case. While Jim was acting like an unprofessional idiot, he is allowed to be one as you can criticize a product in all the dump ways you want
>>331408932
The sad thing is even when fired he'll get another job cause everyone is so close. Just hope he doesn't start working in games

>>331412924
Acknowledging that the lawsuit is frivolous is not the same thing as endorsing Sterling and anything he says or does, idiot.
>>331413160
But when you think about it, it's not really frivolous.
>>331413112
Damn it, are people making fun of fingerless gloves too? I think they're so cool. This fedora stuff is ruining all my favorite fashion: trench coats, sweet hats, and now fingerless gloves.

>>331413195
It is entirely frivolous and unlike most of the people trying to use this as a hypocritical opportunity to shit on Sterling for doing exactly what /v/ does on a regular basis (focusing on a particular game dev and relentlessly mocking them), I have actually read all the relevant information to understand this. They're trying to claim he libeled them for, among other things, suggesting that they stole art assets, but what he did was point out that they used art from someone's DeviantArt page, which was objectively true, and then update the article to clarify the art was also available on Shutterstock after he found out that was true. Their case is shit and they will lose if they actually go through with it, which they probably won't, because they are just trying to scare him into not talking about their shitty games anymore.
>>331413312
I'm not actually being sarcastic, is the thing. I legitimately love those, which is a bitch to admit on the internet because people are always going to think I'm joking. Except, I'm a Christian, so I don't fit the fedora stereotype at all.

>>331413834
I mean, I could never wear a trench coat or fedora in public, but to me at least they make me feel like some badass detective, or a cool character like Rorschach. I see why they're so popular with the stereotypical neckbeards, it's a huge ego boost. I should go hiking or something while wearing this stuff, so I can feel cool but not have to deal with the people seeing me part. While I'm at it, it's not just fedoras, I also like stuff like the Red Mage's hat.
I guess fingerless gloves are more acceptable on their own since they're usually associated with sports and stuff. I initially got some for biking when I was much younger.
>>331406640
>>331406719
It never fucking mattered. Wow you stopped Kotaku getting 40c of ad revenue over the years by demanding paste bins every time.
>>331406895

They're trying to crowd fund a lawyer. It's just another attempt at making money.

>>331406524
You have to be a complete retard if you think Homicide can build a case against Sterling.
THEY ARE CROWDFUNDING THEIR LEGAL TEAM ARE YOU STUPID
This is actually great for Sterling because he can be a smarmy cunt and act like devs are actively trying to silence his hot opinons and consumer advocacy.
>>331407830
Hate the fat fuck all you want, but anyone saying Digital Homicide should win this or are good because they're shitting on Jim is an ass.
They're one of the primary abusers of Steam Greenlight and Steams general complete lack of quality control and their games are purposefully awful cobbled together shit. And I don't mean that in the "they're okay but Jim hates them so they're shit" way, I mean they're actually stock asset shit regurgitated onto Steam.
I completely understand if you dislike Sterling, but he's the lesser of two evils in this case.
>pastebin / archive, what a fag!

>>331415946
>They literally cited a /v/ post in one of their recent articles.
Proof?
>>331413029
Pretty much. Cuckposting drove Anthony Burch to madness, so now anything bad is cucked in the hopes of also driving the target to insanity. It's like a verbal TOR-tanic.
That being said, marrying someone if you both just want to sleep around is fucking retarded. It's like 'hey we are flaunting societal norms while simultaneously participating in a 6,000+ year old societal norm how progressive are we".
It reeks of desperation and attention seeking.

Oh yeah, I definitely think open relationships are stupid, but it's pretty clearly not cucking, which was my point. Adding that open relationships are stupid, just felt like needless, unrelated shit, but I forgot this is /v/, where you need to go out of your way to cut off possible avenues of shitposting people could get from your posts.
>>331418319
It's close enough to cucking that people can make an excuse to call it cucking.

Which is exactly why it's going to be sold to the highest bidder. Kotaku is popular whether /v/ wants to admit it or not, there's no way they don't get bought out. Kotaku is going nowhere.
>>331408779
is it an american thing not being able to think in extremes?
>>331421849
The name may stick around, but I guarantee you the website as it is will cease to exist. All the shit journalists (that is, everyone who works for that site) will be fired. Which is fine. It's no problem for the Kotaku name to be used if it actually becomes good.
>>331422204
Companies generally don't fire the old crew when they purchase them, since that would require time and money to hire new talent and get them up to speed with how things work around the company.
They're probably just going to buy them and leave everything going the way it was before because that is the quickest way to start recouping their investment.

>>331423837

>>331424054

>>331423574
This. It's like the Hogan case. Their reasoning for posting the video doesn't matter. What matters is that they broke the law.

Only sort of related to the thread but this image would be ideal to photoshop IRL pepe. The lips, the hair that looks a bit like Pepe's head and the hand.
>>331424136
that's not the point
Why does this Billionaire want shares of Gawker during the verge of the trial? if to ruin it, it is probably unnessessary because Hogan would dismantle them.
So i'm more inclined to believe he's gonna keep them for some use he has. But i know nothing of the schemes of the 1 percent.
hold on, was Jim really acting like some /b/tard faggot and sending his fanbase after them and mailing them shit?

Haven't seen that movie but I guess I should. That's a cool quote. Of course, I've seen the concept of creating despair from hope in a few different things, so it seems like not an uncommon idea.

I fucking hate Jim Sterling too but do you really want opinions to be repressed just because it might hurt somebody?
>>331427035
kek, that's the sort of shit I did in highschool.

Digital Homicide also doesn't have Hogan's revenue, public background, or the money to back it up. Making a ton of shitty Steam games then claiming STOP CRITICISM GUISE YOU'RE HURTING OUR SALES is weak.

you mean the so called freedom you illegally abused and even bragged about abusing like you were some untouchable pariah?
keep drowning those sorrows shitbag.

Dunno why I never got around to it. I did have most of it spoiled for me years ago though. I've seen the intro on Youtube at least.
Sterling did nothing fucking wrong according to that. He said it was contender of 2014 and made a few videos. The developer is now claiming online/real harassment from his followers, making videos of Sterling "being a fucking idiot and not playing the game right", and crying on forums. They cannot and will not get a lawyer because their going to lose.
I don't like Sterling at all, but at least he doesn't need to go to an online reputation law office to see if he has a case.
>>331427714
>Sterling did nothing fucking wrong according to that.
He accused them of stealing when they did not.
Wait Jim Sterling is a persona?
His actual name is James Stanton?
So he isn't actually retarded and all of it is just an act? Parodying people like moviebob?
>>331427615
That really sums up the entirety of that man in one image.

>>331425432
Wasn't the problem that they PUBLISHED the videos? I mean, if they had just reported on just that there's a sextape of Hulk Hogan, it would've not been a problem, right? It's one thing to report it, another to TAKE AN ACTUAL VIDEO that's meant to be private and whatnot and then fucking publish the video itself.
>>331413297
You know that's funny, I remember reading somewhere that the guy on defense (for Gawker) claimed that they use bots to spike views a certain bit to increase popularity.

He accused them of using online art assets, which they did. That isn't saying they stole it.
>>331428058
Pretty sure he said he used them without paying, from deviantart or some shit.
>>331406524
Jim's a fag, but I really don't want whiny developers like that to win a case based on their hurt feelings.

"In his video, Sterling had criticized the game for using generic art assets purchased online, which Digital Homicide defended as necessary..."
>>331427874
Terry didn't consent to being taped.
Gawker got the tape from iffy sources illegally for the sole purpose of profit.
Terry's well being and financial stability was ruined by the leaking of this entire tape (the part where he rants about jolly africans)
Terry wanted justice and damages for Gawker essentially ruining his life and public image.
>>331428167
Not that quote.
>>331406724
oh...
THAT game...
>>331406724
>>331406895
Because this "developer" is a mentally unstable drama whore. He knows he's an insignificant person and this feud he insists he has with Sterling is his attempt at gaining fame through infamy.
>>331428142
At this point it would be giving money to Hulk Hogan and not them.
As bad as Digital Homicide's games are, I think Jim Sterling has got to be the least fitting person to make fun of it.
He's just a fatass who plays video games and talks over them, puts it on youtube, and pretends to be a game critic.
He's a bootleg TotalBiscuit.
>>331428336
Angry Joe gave a shitty review of Slaughtering Grounds what doesn't DM go after him? Oh right because the dev is so fucking small he has to crowdfund his lawyers and go after smaller fish.
>>331428180
From Jims video "...the developers actually have pride in a game they cobbled together from other developers assests..."

>>331428574
What are you trying to say now? Because it's not related to my post really.
He implied they stole it from deviantart, pretty literally.
>>331428635
She's not real.
>>331428478
Jim is not exactly small fish. He's quite big, and probably juicy with all that fat on him.
DH's beef with Jim is more because Jim was the FIRST to go after Slaughtering Grounds, than anything else. The argument could be made that he was responsible for it all snowballing.

don't worry - it's not like anon is obliged to watch every picrelated furry / cute anime that is popularly posted around here

An open relationship is pretty much cuckold though. You're letting other guys run a train on your girl.
And in case you didn't realize, open relationships are nowhere near equal. A guy has to work at finding another girl he can fool around with, but most likely he's gonna have to take them out first, and any girls he already knows that know he's in a relationship will find the whole thing wierd.
A girl in an open relationship can text any of her male friends asking if they want to fuck, and unless she's ugly as fuck, she's gonna get a yes from at least one of them.
So while retards think "nah bro, we both get to fuck other people!" it's really the girl getting plowed into oblivion while the guy is lucky to find a date

It has everything to do with it because I'm using the videos linked from the article.
Oh yoy mean from a different game completely, my bad. """May"""" have edited his video to say, instead of stealing, they got them off Shutterstock.
Unless they have undeniable proof he said they stole art then they won't take him down.

The funny thing is gawker would be calling the whole thing rape if another site did the same thing with a sex video of a female celeb
>>331428943
Man, I feel bad for you straightfags. Being in an open relationship with a cute subby bitch is amazing. He cooks for me all day and we both get to fuck other dudes and certain traps.

Damn, Sargon was right in saying that all male identity politics SJWs are literally cucks.
>>331429326
There's nothing to feel bad about. I don't want to fuck men or traps, and I don't have any interest at all in an open relationship.
To be honest I'd dump someone on the spot if they wanted to open our relationship
>>331429415
FUCKING WOW!
but link pls?
So just so I am clear.
Journalists spoil Fallout 4 story before release, devs get mad, support journalists.
Journalist writes game review, devs get mad, side with devs.
>>331429415
especially taking into the account the Google's Fair Use Protection Program
>>331429451
Which is why the whole thing was ridiculous. The entire case was just scumbags doing whatever they could for clicks, and trying to have it covered by the 1st amendment by saying a sex tape is somehow newsworthy.
>tfw in a show of confidence the gawker CEO signed a ten year lease for the gawker building in 2015 because he was so sure they'd win

There's more in the article that just those videos. Read it.
