I am the videogame critic they tried to sue for $10 million.
I've kept relatively quiet for almost a year while a spurious and disgusting libel lawsuit was spuriously filed in an attempt to disrupt my life.
Now I get to talk.

When people hear Jim Sterling, they think Jim Sterling. When people hear Digital Homicide, they think Jim Sterling.
ooh. That burns deep.
and also Digital Suicide considering that is what they did
got em
Jim *FUCKING Sterling *SON.
*when people here Jim Sterling they think Chungus and Boglins.
Fixed that for you.
I can imagine Jim's lawyer reading through the lawsuit documents and having to call Jim to double check that the documents are real and not part of some elaborate joke.
Doctorgeo7 Must've been a fun day for that lawyer. He takes one look at that document before saying "Yeah, this guy won't win the case"
Doctorgeo7 not as good as Totalbiscuits lawyer vs funcreators "lawyer" shame we'll never see those files.
Doctorgeo7 "Fuck it. We're going to lunch. Then we're going to put enough whiskey in the two of us to see if this makes any sense afterwards."
Jim Sterling's lawyer: "They keep using words like "fk u fgt" and "xDdddd," they make numerous threatening references to the UN, and at the end they repeat the words "Screw Jim" over and over again. "
Doctorgeo7 "haha you got me good Jim, but seriously send me the real papers man"
"My lawyer countered this by claiming we can't prove there's not enough popcorn on earth"
this is the best life acomplishment ever, countering a lawsuit with popcorn
givingtnt IFKR. my fav bit of the vid
givingtnt
I think the world deserves to know what legally constitutes as "all the popcorn in the world" and if it can be quantified. Does it include kettle corn, microwave popcorn and cinema popcorn machine? Does it include even corn meant for popping, but not popped yet? Does it account for market fluctuations where there is more of a need for boiled corn rather than popped using corn made for popping for boiling? By God, this needs to be adressed!
givingtnt Popcorn. POPCORN. POPCORN!!!
you know your so called complaints are stupid when a lawyers joke can also be used as a counterclaim
Jep that one was easily the best :)
5 years later. FIVE YEARS LATER and this is still entertaining to watch. I watched this play out in real time and now it feels like it was a fever dream.
You know what's funnier ? He's "supposed" to apologize to Digital Homicide during those 5 years XD
@@Zekium *They’re
Yes,quite quite.After his color palette changed then so did Jim,and not for the better.Compare this video to his latest rant criticising Ubisoft! I miss the old Jim Sterling,but nothing stays the same and in this case thats very unfortunate indeed don"t you think?
@Vulpeus System "cu*nt c*nt F*ck B*gger sh*t sh*t"
There. I just did a modern Sterling video.
Honestly, though! Listen to this video in audio only and then one of the modern ones. I really, really used to love Sterling's videos because they were well written and objective and could even convince a stick-in-the-mud like me to change my opinions on a matter I felt strongly about. Now, Sterling's all just venom and swearing. I get passion for a topic you feel strongly about, but now it just feels like they're trying to get views with shock value over what they're saying or something...
Edit: and that 'if you dont like it just leave' attitude? How many people do you think have said that to Sterling over their many rants? No, I wont be doing that because I respected their work too much to give up on them just yet.
@@ethericboy I’d actually argue that JSS has changed for the better. I started watching a couple years ago and haven’t missed an upload. The show is more slick now, which I appreciate. The only thing people seem have a problem with is the fact that she’s trans now, that’s literally the only major change. Everything else are stylistic changes. Could you please elaborate on the differences between “new” and “old” Jim Sterling?
Looking at the bright side, you walked away from the shitstorm with a damn nice catchphrase.
Could've sworn he had that nickname from before, seems not to be the case, but its really good regardless
Surprised Romine hasn't copyrighted it and sued Jim for using it yet
RobCoxxy Well it's fair use. ;D
He is not allowed to Sue Jim anymore hahahaha!
i can't speak for jim but it was worth since we can say
THANK.....GO.....FOR JIM.......FUCKING.......STERLING. SON
I'm in the hospital with second hand embarrassment when he loses his "train of thought" after smugly asking a question.
Easily best bit of the video for me. You think your second hand embarrasment is painful, that guy got 3rd degree burnt by himself
Christ, if you haven't yet already, look up the Digihom interview. I listened to it all one morning and I have /never/ found a greater source of raw Cringe ore in my life, before or since.
You might want to stay away from the whole "interview" if that bit if cringe was too much for you; there was multiple times where I ended up yelling at my monitor because Romine had no fucking clue what he was talking about outside of his argument of Jim Sterling; Notably he's 35, "works" in nerd culture but doesn't know what MST3k or Rifftrax is and specifically makes points to say stuff like that doesn't exist? Are you fucking real? But he took the time to try to Dox Jim by saying he's vaguely related to some random author he shares a last name with.
The cringe from that interview could melt steel beams.
I was listening to the Digihom interview whilst riding a horse. For real. I nearly fell off because I tried leaning my elbow on my saddle to facepalm as quietly as possible. Sometimes I whispered frustration aloud, which was also great fun for my horse. I bet that animal could've actually given a better interview if he could speak.
"My lawyer countered this by claiming we can't prove there's not enough popcorn on earth"
Perfect.
Bacon Boots i've got popcorn for this video. running out at 15 minutes. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk
Bacon Boots tears😂😂😂
Between that and being the first person to ever talk James down from a bad idea, Jim's lawyer sounds like a right badass.
Yeah I laughed at that. Good sense of humour from that lawyer!
Nicholas Knudson to be fair I don't think James romine expected Jim to have an actual lawyer
That man claims to have kids, and that upsets me deeply.
I do wonder if this sorry excuse for a man actually has a family, or if that was just another one of his lies that we can add to the ever-growing pile
Naah, I bet he just has framed photos of children he bought from Shutterstock, which he calls his own.
Same lmao
If he does have kids, he would have to explain how daddy ruined his own company due to his own ego and selfishness.
@@kentonbaird1723 he bought them after all
Jim was generous not counterclaiming these guys and eating his own attorney fees. That says a lot about Jim and what a good guy he is.
Z3PHLAR Marry him, maybe??
Yeah I thought the same thing. I was half expecting a counter suit for all that crap, but Jim probably figured this video would be enough. It was certainly awesome.
I think you make a point that is worth hearing because it shows Jim holds his principles higher than his wallet. Most people would have taken what your lawyer would be recommending, to go after the guy and at least get the money you pumped into paying for lawyers.
That fact alone is the most impressive thing about the whole bloody debacle. Someone like Sam wouldn't understand that.
This is basically the exact thoughts of that lawyer with a UA-cam channel. Verbatim. Its a correct statement, but you should probably express it originally and not just regurgitate it.
- He didn't need to take that settlement. That's the point. He could have countered instead but he decided not to.
"I wouldn't conspire with a food truck to bring him a bad sandwich."
Bloody. Freaking. Brilliant.
Gentleman J God, I am SO going to use this line for future references!
@@somecreativeperson6719 Me too! If I get the chance I'd use it.
The literal opposite of an apology video. I hope you make this the featured video for your channel for no less than five years.
No lie, would be poetic justice, and a warning.
LaserfaceJones It should be carved into metal plates and those plates erected as monuments all over the world. And also some should be shot into space.
Why? To tell aliens not to fuck with Jim fucking Sterling, son.

@@warrenpeace5537 that's the point, they drag you to their level of stupidity and because they are so used to being that stupid they tend to beat you down with their idiocy.
We have this C++ gug at our place and one of the new guys said to him to use something that was not very fitting, instead of agreeing and shutting him up, both went into an argument and we all watched them fight like dog for 2 hours straight when his friend gave him a clue and he finally said "You're right, now let's not use your idea"
Well, you can get others to concede and side with you, but the egotist will not.
James: "I'm suing you for ten million dollars!"
Jim: "Your lawsuit is bullshit."
James: "..."
James: "The lawsuit just got two million dollars bigger."
It is good to see that the old adage about "the bigger the lie the better" didn't hold up this time.
Im fucking dead.
It's like someone painting headlights on a cardboard box, challenging someone else (with a real car) to a game of "chicken", and seeing that the other party didn't bow out immediately went on to concluding that the solution was to add racing stripes to the box.
It's certainly been interesting to watch a man bargain for more the weaker his bargaining position got.
Don't worry Jim, thanks for still doing despite idiots like James making your life harder.
And heck yeah, I bet it was.
"If games don't exist, does your job still exist?" Yes, because Boglins still exist.
Ouch...
Zero_Burn you forgot pogs
I love how they actually thought that was a big "gotcha" moment, that that was actually a coherent argument of any sort. The arrogance of it, as if a lowly cretin like Romine speaks for the entirety of the games industry. It's almost impressive just how deluded these assholes were. Jim pities them, but I pity their families more. Imagine having idiots like those in your family...imagine one of them being your parent. Oh, those poor people.
Pog is a game.
Was the Jaden Smith meme a thing when that interview went up? Because in hindsight, that sounds a lot like the "how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real" quip.
So to sum it up: "I sued Jim Sterling and all I got was this T-shirt"?
NSNick Oh my gosh shit Jim needs a new shirt that's something along the lines of like one of those old rollercoaster shirts that says "I Survived the DigiHom Lawsuit" :DD
"...that I paid for myself"
Holy shittttt.
Underrated XDD
anyone know a generous shirt printer? would love to see him wearing a custom "survived" print.
Your lawyer in underatedly a savage using the popcorn defense. Your lawyer didn't try to argue why it wasn't slander and a ridiculous claim, he was just like, "OK... then prove it". They should teach that in law school.
"Welcome to dealing with total fucking idiots 101"
@@jordanloux3883 Haha I wasn't in pre law but I'd take that class
Call it "the Sterling," defense.....🤣
“Ok, then prove it” is literally the first thing you learn in law school.
It's basically the first thing you learn in defamation law, a defamatory remark has to be provably false.
Damnit it pisses me off that James Romine wasn't forced to pay for your legal fees.
mayday303
I think Jim Fucking Sterling chose not to countersue
Let`s be honest: James doesn`t likely have any money. I have to imagine this is what Jim`s lawyers told him - don`t bother trying to get our legal fees from this guy, he doesn`t have the means to pay & you`ll just end up having to deal with him longer than you have to.
I also get the sense from what Jim was saying that his lawyer talked Jim into being merciful. Lawyers spend a lot of time watching ugly retribution play out and watching `bad` people get absolutely crushed, and I have to imagine they come to understand that this is nothing to delight over. James sounds like, for all of his terrible qualities, someone who is sad & desperate. It probably does the world no favors to make him yet more miserable.
You can't get blood from a stone.
Matrim42 unless your a minecraft character
Rebel3000 were not talking about minecraft.
"My lawyer countered this by claiming we can't prove there's not enough popcorn on earth"
Lawyers: This is why I went to law school?!
E. Meaghan Patrick I just never get over this one.
I wanna hear Pheonix Wright point that out in a court case.
Eh, as I said in another thread--not such a big deal if you have your First Amendment chops. Defamation requires falsity, and usually an opinion cannot have falsity. So just madlib in whatever funny opinion you want there. I equally cannot prove who whether Avatar is the most overrated film in the history of mankind, nor whether Jim Carey is now, or ever was, at all funny.
Admittedly, the number of attorneys with even passing competence with the 1A is depressingly a small sum. (See what I did there?)
Probably more like''FINALLY. A COURT-CASE I CAN SHITPOST AS MUCH AS I DO FROM MY OFFICE''
I can imagine the guy thinking: "i spend 5 years studying law & they ask me about fucking popcorns?"
*James Romine stubs his toe*
GOD DAMN YOU, JIM STERLING!!!!
Akito Soma Local man yells at cloud.
My god... James Romine was Dan from "Dan Vs" all along. This explains so much!
Akito Soma Dan Vs was never meant to be taken seriously. Jimmy (Romaine) was.
WillieManga Jimmy Romaine doesn't deserve that much respect.
Akito Soma Oh yes, lest we forget he took offense to Jim remarking that there's not enough popcorn on earth regarding ECC Games suing the Romaines for trademark violation. When I said Jimmy was full on serious, I didn't mean he was taken seriously. It equivilizes to a real life Phoenix Wright case.
Like you haven't heard that one before.
“I wouldn’t conspire with a food truck to deliver you a bad sandwich” is a hell of a line
I think it's a Brit thing, they're great at coming up with funny euphemisms and analogies.

@@Batchall_Accepted wait, Yahtzee is British?
@@KnakuanaRka that's coffee.
@@blakksheep736 It’s the first result that I got when looking up tea in my emojis.
Coining the "Jim Fucking Sterling Son" meme was of greater value than the total sum of all games ever released by any of James Romine's companies, and possibly anything else he will ever do in his life.
True dat.
"Possibly"? Let's be realistic...
Honestly, if he is still alive, I'd be impressed at how much his ego can take, but I'd still be surprised. If i went through what James did, I'd pull the trigger.
"I lost my train of thought there..." I fucking lost it
Sonar101
One of many wonderful moments in this video. so fucking glad Jim won the case.
Wait, they actually HAD a train of thought?
In that brief moment he went "shit, I don't make all the games ever made, what can I possibly say here!?"
+Sonar101 Honestly my favorite moment of the video was when they pulled out that clip of Jim pretending to be a Mad Scientist, as if they had caught him in some GOTCHA! moment. Coincidentally it was also the moment I lost any shred of respect I had for the two.
Can you give me the timestamp? I can't seem to find this awesome moment.
You should leave this video in the top slot on your UA-cam channel for a period of no less than five years.
Yeah! Remind all those coward and lazy devs they're not as powerful as they think they are.
Haha. Good idea!
hahaha absolutely right :D
The next idiot has arrived. Some random airport game
Can you imagine if Digital Homicide put this much time and energy into improving their games instead of antagonizing Jim?
The basic difference between an entrepreneur and a jackass.
They have no talent or ambition-so going litigious with random people on the internet is all they have left.
They shouldn't create anything for sale if they can't take criticism. They should just get a regular job for a minimal wage instead of polluting world with crap. Now too many people want to be developers because they think it will make them rich with no effort. That's how world turns into unbearable shithole with all those incompetent nubnuts being pushed to places they shouldn't be.
@@or10nsharkfin Wonder if they even still exist today.
Right? They might have been close to a somewhat playable demo by now!
Also relevant, they might have been slightly relevant.
"We can't prove wether or not there is enough popcorn on Earth". That is a slick fucking lawyer right there.
I have a feeling the lawyer was having a fun time as well. Probably wanting to come up with some fun responses as well (while obviously continuing to get the job done).
Well, it's more that it's well established law in the US that an opinion generally cannot have falsity. I equally cannot establish the falsity of whether the sky is a pretty shade of blue or whether Taco Bell is great. In the US, falsity is required for a defamation claim (or libel, or slander, or their variations) because of the First Amendment.

And may we so see, new failures will attempt to rise, as they always do, Jim's great overbearing ego and pure verbal ferocity devour those that threaten our very way of gaming attainment. He shall not only smite thee, but even more so, remind even the greatest of giants corporations, that they too can't stand when at fault in front of such an epic figure

Jim "Break Yourselves Upon Me" Sterling, son.
yeah I cheered for jim when he said that.
He's a living Dark Souls boss. Except there's no respawn mechanic.
Considering how frustrating, repetitive, exasperating and *boring*, and ultimately unsatisfying, this whole lawsuit was for Jim, I'd say Digital Homicide is the actual Dark Souls boss.

I'm seeking the following damages:

Price of mug: $3 million
Price of biscuits: $6 million
Punitive damages: $10 million.

“This all adds up - trust me - to 10,761,000 dollars”
Such an underrated line in this vid
Is it because the total amount is actually wrong?
@@nrdsgtbck101 Yeah, the number is $800,000 off.
Tuxedo Cat still unreasonable absurd
I thought it was $11 million - cause I was thinking the $5m and $4m made $9m and that something didn’t add up.
I just did the math out and, yeah, the actual total would be something like $11,561,000. From what I've heard, this is the kind of shit that some judges will lose their everloving shit over because the paperwork wouldn't be correct.
I'd pay money to see 2 lawyers arguing in court about whether or not there was indeed enough popcorn on earth. I'm picturing powerpoint presentations with rough estimates for the existing amounts of popcorn and the popcorn industry's average popcorn production and growth vs the max amount of popcorn theoretically needed for the case
lawyer: Your honor my defendants at Jiffy Pop and Orville Redenbocker claim that the bases of this case requires we discuss the types of popcorn in question.
Geo780 other lawyer: your honor I object, there are certain elements of legal dispute of enough popcorn on earth
Meanwhile the cornflakes humunculus sitting back eating his tasteless cornflakes while this is going on
But will there be butter?
Vampyre Bassist good point, is it buttered popcorn? If so then is there enough butter in the world for all that popcorn?
James Romine single-handedly burning his company to the ground out of sheer petulence brings the words of Buddhaghosa to mind; "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."
zody5 not really. his company is nothing but him, and store bought assets.
not really a company
they had steam distribution rights somehow though
“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” This is another Buddhist quote that is applicable.
Romine is STILL trying to insult and belittle every single action Jim makes on his twitter.
Holding on to anger is like ripping off your arm in an attempt to beat someone with it.

"I kinda lost my train of thought there"
You've gotta have one before you can lose it.
I always cringe so hard at that part...
Did he have a plan to develop on that rhetorical gambit? Did he forget? Shitting Henry he's a waste of oxygen that lad.
It's kind of precious, really. I dunno how Jim refrained from snorting or laughing at the poor twit, but I know I wouldn't have the same level of self restraint, even if his display of courtesy was done in pure British condescention.

2022, 5 years today, had Digital Homicide won the case, today would have been the day Jim's "apology" video would no longer need to stay up.
Yet look how far James Stephanie Sterling has come since then, and this video is still re-watchable even today, thank god for them! =)
Almost at 800k, how the titans we love have fallen
Omg this is history. Also I too am revisiting this video and damn, Steph is one of those UA-camrs who you can go pretty far back in their catalog and still get pure quality.
Would have been a dark future if the Romine brothers won. Thank God for Steph.
@@GreatBooker It really is quite hilarious to go far back into the catalog, see them having spoken about all the same guff before, and then when it happens to someone's favorite corporation, suddenly JSS is "too political" XD

Except Jim won. The actual evil person here. Jim is not some saint. He instigates fights and then cries he is the victim when the devs defend themselves. If Jim stuck to professional reviews instead of slandering everyone involved he would be as legit as IGN, but thats not what he does. He has to make money and to do that has to be controversial and put on a show.
You have to admit, his lawsuit was better crafted and more original than his games.
And STILL failed like his games.
this lawsuit should have been a game. The Sue Jim Sterling Simulator. he could just play it once a day to get all those feelings out of his system.
And it was certainly more entertaining to watch as this guy loses his shit. 😂
@@irkallaLustre that would have been hilarious and probably would have made him a decent amount of money from both jims fans and his haters xD
the lindsey ellis omegaverse lawsuit video is a spiritual sequel to this
god yeah Addison Cain more like Addison Romine amirite?
This came out way sooner. That Lindsey Ellis video is a sequal to this
And their video on how Gilson B. Pontes tried to kill their channel is the psuedo direct sequel to this.
@@handsomeaaron6175 thats what they said
Imagine a game made by Romino, written by Cain and set in the Omegaverse.
There would definitely not be enough popcorn on Earth.
The Judge should've been forced to play Digital Homicide's games. I'm sure he would've ruled in favour of Jim and awarded Jim an extra 100 million dollars in damages due to mental anguish from DH's shitty games Jim went through for us.
Why should the judge be subjegated to such a horrid method of torture? No one should have to play those pieces of shite that barely qualify as interactive entertainment. :P
Steven Chapman How much money do you think DH has?!
TheUltimateRiku , not enough to pay for a artist. Or a lawyer... this sounded funnier in my head but it dident quiet come out right, I know there's a joke in there somewhere.
Robbie Sloan
Digital Homicide is poor. And sucks.
Well that wasn't it.
What kind of heartless man would take away Jim's boglin money
I really hope James sees this video
this comment wins the internet for today
With the lawsuit mess over, Jim can now spend all his money on Boglins! Ensuring complete, global Boglin saturation.
ProjectiluvOP a glorious time for all
Plot Twist: Romine is addicted to collecting Boglins too. His habit has put him in deep with the Boglin Mafia, which is why he kept increasing the claims in his suit. If he fails to pay up, they'll cut his mini-boglins off.
Romaine used Lawsuit
It hurt itself in it's confusion.
I love every word in this comment. Except "Romaine".
@Superfield: I mean, the guy's about as intelligent as lettuce.
hey don't insult lettuce it didn't do anything to deserve such injustice
Oh my god someone else thought of calling him Romaine
This whole fiasco does show one important thing, Romaine is completely deluded.. And should probably seek help to bring him back down to earth.
Also, if you're going to file a lawsuit.. don't ask for an utterly ludicrous amount of money over what, basically, equates to someone doing their fucking job.
"If there were no more video games what would critics review?"
I dunno. The 100,000 games already published?
which is a nonsense argument anyway, what would game critics review if there were never any video games?
books. movies. plays. music. paintings. sculptures. people make things, and there will always be a market for someone to tell the masses which creations are worth seeing and which aren't, and there will always be a market for analysis of the media.
@@kaistzar2831 i don't think it's that interesting, because we already know what all the thinkers and analysts would be doing if there was no media to analyze. they would be philosophers.
99.9999% of which are better than anything Digital Homicide has produced. Even games like Sonic 06 or Big Rigs have some kind of entertainment value or merit to them.
@@kaistzar2831 And says it in a way where as to imply Jim's end goal is to end the games industry with his criticisms... Which couldn't be further from the truth lmao.
@@Yal_Rathol bu ngl Jimmy kinda harsh with them,they just wanna "try" making a game
I dare James Romine to sue Valve. Come on, boy, show us what you got. Should be entertaining enough.
0noregrets0 That is the legal equivalent of throwing someone in the Rancor pit.
Tantalized_Funyons Well James did try to subpoena Valve which resulted in him removing all of DH games.
More like someone throwing themselves into said Rancor pit. Though I actually think that a Sarlaac works better in the analogy
tboss2447 a
They win tens of millions
Valve makes half Life 3 to get the money back
Deletes the game
Replaces it with a Dota card game
My mother has worked in law for years and have worked on numerous sue cases. I showed her this video and she laughed and laughed and laughed, asking what the fuck was the devloper thinking?
FrenchieRocks Reading this i cant help but think she went to work saying " Look at this video my child showed me. Its a doozy."
Darksky1001able I really hope that's the case. I also really hope she did infact use the word "doozy".
I'd imagine one day the Romines walk into the courtroom (assuming to sue Valve), the judge sees them, starts laughing, points them and shouts, "haha, retards!"
Well even you know that your comment is utter bullshit ROFL :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Laughed and laughed?? Here I'm wondering what the heck is your mother thinking???
My literal favorite thing about this is that Digital Homicide did nothing but drag their already terrible names through the dirt and probably got Jim more fans than he has ever had before.
its at times like these that you think about just how accurate the shows name is "the jimquisition"
the internet crusade against shitty infidel games
Isn't the Streisand Effect a beautiful thing?
Actually that is an interesting stat. How many subscribers and patreon donators did he get since this whole lawsuit started and was the increase higher than before it and were there spikes in it when he put out his videos about digital homicide?
I've read quite a few comments on the Jimquisition that basically said "I'd never heard of Jim until DH brought his name up in that ridiculous lawsuit", so yeah, DH was basically Jim's biggest PR agency for a while there.
What's worse is that they spent almost 3 years on this shit and potentially thousands of dollars on a lawyer. The amount of time and money they could have used to gather a team to make a good game.
I discovered this channel in 2019 but this makes me have 10 times more respect for Jim.
Same. :)
Same again.
same
Same here.
He’s still great but I think he burned brightest playing shitty steam games. He carved out a huge space for himself and developed his character.
Even in 2019, this video is still amazing. Aged like a fine wine.
A pretty legendary event in internet history.
Paired with the finest cheese and crackers as a appetizer, followed by a perfectly cooked prime cut of steak with the tastiest mashed potatoes and salad imaginable, followed by the sweetest piece of red velvet cake humanly possible to make...
Oh and the meal’s free
It’s my favorite documentary
So true.
Fine cheese
easiest payday of this lawyers life. I bet he was fucking laughing his ass off this whole time
Probably will be a great story to tell too
Behold. The Jim Sterling Movie: Digital Sue-icide
I spilled my drink
This shit deserves an Oscar.
Joseph Ocasio "Based on a true story, 'Digital_Sue_icide'. Staring Sir Anthony Hopkins as Jim Sterling... they thought they could control him, they thought he would be silenced... (Sir Anthony Hopkins) 'They once tried to sue me for $10 million. I ate their liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.' Coming soon."
Disclaimer: I DID NOT use the title made by "Jackie Kog". Jackie Kog came up with "The Jim Sterling Movie: Digital Sue-icide", my title is "Digital_Sue_icide"... COMPLETELY different! "_" and "-", two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS!
(that last part is of course a joke)
Damn it's a real shame you didn't get the digital homicide brand. That would've been a fucking hilarious chapter in your career
"Well you're welcome to try, because I won't show mercy next time, and you will break yourselves upon me." Goddamn, this could be the entire ending speech and you'd get the whole point across.
MithosFall that was the greatest piece in this video
Jim doesn't realize how fragile his career truly is. Imagine if all video games everywhere suddenly disappeared into nothingness. Jim would be out of a job! And what if a massive volcano sprouted underneath Jim's house and began disgorging shock troops from the mole-people army? That would also put an end to Jim's employment. Finally, imagine if history itself was rewritten, and the Daevite Civilization remained the dominant world power up into modern times. I don't think I have to tell you that the field of Garme Jarnalizm wouldn't exist in that scenario. I guess what I'm trying to say is that...that...shit, I seem to have lost my train of thought. Maybe basing my entire argument on a hypothetical wasn't a very good idea.
Anyway, congratulations Jim! The lawsuit was clearly frivolous from the start, but it must feel nice to finally put it behind you.
Ah, the Daevites! Why last I ever heard of them was when Napoleon gave them a good whoopin! A friend of mine says they were involved in WW1 but I don't believe him...
God damnit, we have a breach boys, deploy the amnesiac... I bet this is brights fault, I'm gonna flush that fucking amulet down a toilet
this brought a tear to my eye

It's a lovely day today isn't it?
If you ever feel yourself feeling sorry for James Romine, just remember that he gladly would have mercilessly destroyed Jim financially and legally if he had been able to.
Hunter Poelsma I think the big problem is that all the money and power in the world couldn't give that guy a brain bigger that an amoeba
"You will break yourself upon me" is genuinely the most badass sentence I've ever heard.
"I have better things to do than be sued by an idiot" God bless this man
The one thing, the ONE thing that I admire about this dude is that he went for broke and kept increasing the amount of the lawsuit.
"Well fuck it, if I'm not getting 10 million dollars I might as well not get 15 million dollars"
Y'know what that's a good point.
Nope, sorry, that guy was a fucking idiot. If you're not going to get 15 Million dollars, you may as well not get 15 TRillion dollars.
And all of this started because of a first impression of a video game.
I re-watched the original Slaughtering Grounds Jimpression the other day and nowhere in the video did Jim insult Digital Homicide in any way. He only criticized the game, that was it.
As one of the brothers stated, insulting a AAA game is insulting a AAA game, but insulting an Indie title is a personal insult towards the creators.
So, yes, he stated and believed that Jim insulting the game was a personal attack.
Frivolous litigation is absolutely classic narcissist behaviour, would not be surprised to see this case being used to teach law and psych students about frivolous litigation and narcissism
CaptainZlex maybe if Romaine's game wasn't ass shit, he wouldn't have gotten mad at someone calling his game ass shit
My fellow Jimquisitioners!! It's even more legendary now in 2021. Digital Homicide has come back from the primordial ooze that they had slunk off to and are still petty af about everything towards Jim
Is there a video or article? I'm intrigued.
Just as an aside, here in March of 2022 they've disappeared again. Webpage is dead. Good riddance.
@@TheSkittlesmcgee lol ty for this update just saw this video today
I KINDA LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT THERE LOL
because there isn't one.
If people didn't shit we wouldn't need shit trucks.
Great point.
ryan phillips He was obviously trying to make some stupid "point" about Jim not contributing anything meaningful to the gaming community, but he couldn't finish his thought because it was too illogical to complete off the cuff like that.
ryan phillips I THINK (and this is only speculation) he was trying to say if Jim makes reviews telling people to stop making games then Jim won't have a job anymore. Which is true I suppose if Jim only posted reviews telling reviewers to stop doing their jobs. But he doesn't. He posts good reviews and bad reviews.....almost as if he's encouraging.....better games.....from the games industry.
sydney steverson
awesome theory!
Made more stupid by the fact that he states game critics don't have a job if there are no games, completely forgetting that if Unity didn't sell assets for him to use, he wouldn't have a game.
I’m gonna comment my like but not actually leave one cuz it’s at 666
You know, it really says something about digital homicide as a game developer that their lawsuits are more fun to read than their games are to play. How does that happen? Games are literally designed for the purpose of enjoyment. And no one has ever made a lawsuit with the concept of people enjoying it even close to their minds. How can you be that shit?

Jim can make most things enjoyable, including a spurious lawsuit
2,261,000 + 4,300,000 + 5,000,000 = 11,561,000
NOT 10,761,000
They can't even be bothered to double check their math on an "official" legal document. And yet they claimed to put effort into their "products"
Verde the Star Warrior Makes me wonder about their education.
Best I can tell, it was either a math error and typo or two typos or a different combination of two typos.
I think that 4.3 mil was meant to be 3.4 mil. That's the one that stays between all scenarios.
Math error, and one of the typos, is fairly simple. Instead of 10,761,000, it was meant to be 10,661,000.
The last scenario is the most interesting, and also dumbest. Not only was 4.3 mil meant to be 3.4 mil, but it was actually meant to be 3.5 mil.
He made a bundle out of it (like Reparations GOTY Edition) so it was cheaper :D
@@kabobawsome Does it matter? It's James Romine! His brain is less developed than a child's.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this, so Jim was being sarcastic at that point in the video. XD
Obviously he never read up on the "Consumer Review Fairness Act" which pretty much legally protects critics. (It is also why copyright claims on youtube game reviews are also illegal)
Pretty much, if it ever went to court, he would have to bend the knee to the US Justice system and receive his spanking.
You are right, but I just want to point out that UA-cam's expressed purpose is not "Consumer Review" and the copyright claim system is in place to protect from copyright Infringement- mostly to cover Google's ass- so yes people cannot be silenced from review of products, but no the copyright system on UA-cam is not illegal because the intent is for companies to claim their copyright has been infringed. Which is why the argument you more regularly hear about is that UA-cams copyright system is unfair because it has no accountability on the side of those frivolously making the accusation, all the accountability is on the producer of content even if the content is following the law, and UA-cam does nothing to protect it's content creators who are completely in the right when following fair use.
The way the system is misused could be construed as silencing fair review, but you would have to prove it was done for that purpose rather than the purpose of protecting copyright which thus far most UA-camrs cannot afford to do.
make digihom cry like anime fan on prom night
Rule of thumb Romine, you can't kill the messiah.
Nod Scorpion Life is good when you're an anime fan on prom night that looks like an apple
I'm actually perfectly content with liking anime. There's no "good" girls anymore anyway.
I know it is a joke, but I just had to state the obvious.
Nod Scorpion I read your comment in a Russian accent.
Eh. Who needs to spend a ton of money on a fancy dress I'll personally never wear again when Parasyte's at home waiting for me? :)
2,261,000 + 4,300,000 + 5,000,000 = 10,761,000
I'm a coder, I buy my math from the unity store, you can't expect I do everything
For those of us playing at home, 2,261,000 +5,000,000 is 7261000+4300000 is 11,561,000
Edit:I fucked up like Jim FUCKING Sterling, Son. Credit to Sean Mcleish for the Correction
Alpha Core wait so they were actually suing for MORE than 10 mil?!
William Weggans Thanks.
dont mock them, they only gave jim a discount xD
William Weggans no it's 11,561,000
I want someone to send this Romine a package labeled '10 million' and is actually just filled with Monopoly Money.
that would be a waste of Monopoly Money.
Turtle Lord nah just 10 million dollar sized strips of construction paper
Dubspool _ but that's just a good waste of construction paper that could be given to a kid to make something more creative than DH
A folded piece of paper with I.O.U. written on it.
Turtle Lord I think some more people should send them feces. Maybe he'll have 10 mio pieces of shits in the end.
Damn, getting close to 6 years old and this is as funny and nutty as it was when it first dropped. Thank god for you steph
James Romine sounds like the kind of person who got his own way a lot as a child.
Or he was/is a bully. A bully that done just got his ass whipped.
He actually reminds me of the people who become police officers or join the military because they were bullied in school and now they want power to bully others.
Or bullies who want to continue bullying~
Deb Rowlatt He sounds a lot like Christian Weston Chandler. Cant take criticism and throws a temper tantrum when shit dont go his way.
He sounds like the kid who was the school yard bully that would run to the teacher when one of the kids he was beating up would punch him in the face.
2.261.000 + 4.300.000 + 5.000.000 = 11.561.000
developing games evidently is not the only thing james romine is terrible at
I would usually throw a joke or two here but this is gonna be real talk.
Part of me wishes this would have gone to court, it would set a great precedent upon the silencing of critics and critique as a whole. It would have shown the ramifications to others to discourage not only people coming after Jim but any fucker that tries to pull this shit on smaller channels as well. I know Jims channel isn't exactly the biggest thing on youtube but there are a lot of smaller channels on youtube and if this shit was pulled on them would have no way to deal with it.
That being said, im glad it ended where it did. It stops the emotional and financial stress on jim and lets him move past this with no impunity on his content. Law suits like these are usually designed to ruin the individuals it targets so I'm glad this torrent of shit is over and Jim can continue to do the work he does without putting any more uneeded stress on the situation.
Thank god for you Jim, Truly.
Donstroyer well said
Good words
+Donstroyer The court case was dismissed with prejudice, which means its dismissal is a precedence for future cases. Jim Sterling saved the game critics industry for all of us!!!!
Don't worry, Donald Trump is doing a great job shining light on this issue. Now if only he was just a crappy video game publisher and not the President of the United States.
James Yuichi Sato Dissmissal with prejudice does not mean that no similar case can be brought again. It means that Romine v Stanton for this particular case of alleged libel cannot ever be brought again.
I check back with this video once a year or so to see if it still slaps.
It do.
I was walking to a store in my town and someone was blaring your theme song in their car

Jim confirmed time traveler
We can claim that he is a judge from the future. In alternative future, Digital Homicide won the court case, financially ruining Jim Sterling and forcing him to take a menial fast food job. But while working this job, Jim is taking a law degree too. He becomes an awesome lawyer and eventually judge. He then travels back in time to take on the case of Romine vs Stanton and fuck with the paperwork of the case by drawing cocks all over it. This completely derails Digital Homicide's case and sets us onto the timeline that we currently are on where Digital Homicide destroyed their own company and Jim stands victorious. I challenge anyone to prove that this never happened and stands as testament to Jim Fucking Sterling Son's unwavering obsession with destroying a plucky little indie studio.
This would also mean the Romine brothers are time travelers.
First you have to buy a t-shirt from sharkrobot
He's a Time Lord of games, and needs no Tardis to borrow from.
For those wondering, "libel per se" means the libel is obvious and doesn't need to be explained to show how it is libel. "Libel per quod" means that the statement is innocent by itself, but because of circumstances it becomes libel.
Thank you, I actually didn't know what those terms meant.
Thank you, that's actually really interesting. I knew what libel was, and used the phrase "per se" all the time, but now I really know what that means.
Actually, "libel per se" and "libel per quod" are special classes of libel requiring different kinds of "elements" (or evidence).
Libel is a written falsehood. Harm or "damages" must be proven in ordinary libel (archaically sometimes called "libel per quod," but that's not normally done by sane attorneys, unless they're really trying to look like an asshole).
Libel per se is where harm or damages are presumed. Libel per se only applies to a limited set of subject matter, like accusing someone of being an unchaste woman, having a loathsome disease, or--as in this case I presume--a falsehood that goes to one's ability to perform his or her profession or as to criminal conduct.
Yes, I am an attorney who practices in this area.
No, this is not legal advice to anyone.
Jim, I am sorry you have been abused by this frivolous bullshit.
Cynical Unicorn Think of it as the legal equivalent of "please consult your doctor to see if this prescription is right for you." (at least here in the States that particular phrase is pretty common in all prescription adverts), except it's more implied if anything in the case of legal stuff.
"Why do attorneys always give this disclaimer .... Can you be sued for somebody misconstruing a statement as advice if they take it and it's wrong or doesn't apply to them or something?"
Yes.
Generally, an attorney-client relationship is formed based on the perceptions of the client, not the attorney. If someone reasonably understood a statement as legal advice, then such a relationship was formed. If in following that advice someone suffered harm of some kind, and the legal advice was not the kind a reasonable attorney exercising ordinary professional care would give, then the attorney may be liable for malpractice. Even if the suit is total garbage, defending against it could make malpractice insurance premiums go through the roof. So I'll add that to make it clear to any rational observer that this is not something the reader should in any way rely on.
That extends to the above paragraph as well, of course. :)
10:38 Ah, the old standby “Won’t someone PLEASE think of the children?!?!” argument. Yet they certainly had no qualms about taking money from said children by selling them crap games

And an awesome remix it is. I hope Jim uses it more often in the future.
you sir are amazing
Jim, No worries, still love ya! Azzak, that would be cool. I like all my Born Depressed remixes, but Take 2, is def my favorite!
I find it hilarious that $2,261,000, $4,300,000, and $5,000,000 doesn't even bloody add up to $10,761,000, it adds up to $11,561,000. I don't know if there's some reason behind that, but I still find it funny.
My only guess is the extra $800,000 was some other legal fee. Maybe court costs? Or maybe the 1000 hours googling for court research. $800/hr? Sounds fair!
He probably changed the numbers around a few times and forgot to change the total.
Glad im not the only one who noticed that.
+Matthew Allwright It's exactly like all of the Romine's accomplishments: rushed, full of errors and incomprehensible.

I've watched you since you started this whole Jimquisition thing, and I fell in love the instant I heard Jesters of the Moon. For everyone that hates you there's ten that love you, dude. And I'll be damned if we can't help you through this.
Actually, the first time I heard of Jim it was in relation to Digital Homicide.
Mispelled Pickle I haven't ever funded anything on kickstart, mostly because I view it and crowdfunding in general with most of the same trepidation I have about preorder culture. But this? Yeah... yeah I think I could get behind this.
Philip DeFranco helped h3h3 this way. They collected over 100.000$ in less than 24h. Jim is far from being alone here!
I increased my Patreon funding as a result of the lawsuit.
I upped my Patreon Pledge as well, and would do so again in an instant if more of this madness continued.
How this case worked.
Judge: Defense may now take the stand.
Lawyer: The defence will now call to the stand Jim Sterling.
What is your statement?
Witness: *cough* I'M JIM *FUCKING* STERLING SON!
Judge: holy shit. Case dismissed, Digital Homicide had no fucking chance.
I'm reminded more of a Dilbert strip where Dilbert tried to get through a court case by just spouting Latin phrases like "Habeus Corpus" and hoping nobody knew what it meant, to which the judge replied, "Bailiff, club this man!"
It's old, probably refers to a real life thing that we don't know about because we're too young.

The point is that Dilbert is not a lawyer and had no point in the courtroom.
"1000 hours" Of time spent researching law? That's 10,000x more time they spent developing all of their games. Seriously, it's no wonder why they never got good at making games- they were too busy trying to drag their critics down the drain with them. And failing at it. Thank God for Jim F*cking Stirling son!
1000 divided by 10000 is 0.1 hours
one hour is 60 minutes which equals...
6 minutes to develop a Digital Homicide game. Accurate.
