***** Well I don't want to turn ads off completely because now I get paid for them- assuming there's no copyright claim on the video. I just don't want them to be obnoxious. I always turn off all ads except skippable ads and short non-skippable ads, but RUclips always puts in overlay ads whether I turn them off or not!
"...Is like watching a fight between two comic book adversaries." I would have said "...Is like watching the black knight scene is Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
I know right! Here's how it went: Losing first arm: making the "review the reviewer" video Losing second arm: interview with him Losing first leg: calling jim and threatening him Losing last leg: filing/losing the lawsuit Now all they can do is bite at Jim's ankles XD
Temper Tantrum looks like it could have been fun if they had taken time to refine the controls and camera, treated their assets as placeholders allowing them to edit them into something cohesive and made the challenge more about good programming instead of bad design. As for you, this coverage was really good. Going above and beyond with some of the worst games ever was both cathartic and hilarious. Could have just talked about the games, but there was a lot of personality to these reviews. So this gets a big ol' thumbs up from me!
Oh yeah, that's kind of interesting; starting out as a meek baby, being destroyed and reconstructed as something stronger and repeating the process till you're too OP to kill.
Dave Games Room Probably the worst of all time. Can't fix criticism, removes games and reuploads just to reset the ratings, pay people to Upvote them, just use assets because they can't even make one single original things in any game (I bet you knew that), the list goes on.
Something tells me their process for making these games involves: Getting an idea, buying some assets to use, spend thirty minutes to an hour developing, release, profit, and feel the wrath of Sterling and Jadow.
+William Lowery I get the feeling more they cruise the Unity store for partially made engines or something and just whip something up from the assets they find after playing two consecutive games with the same title screen and the exact same crappy controls.
That's certainly a strong possibility, but it still surprises me that this team, along with other indie developers of poor software, can get away with selling these games to unsuspecting people on Steam, when Valve should have better standards of quality control.
I feel sorry for the poor judge who has to hear the Digital Homicide case. xD I imagine it will get thrown out pretty quickly, though, before anyone has to lose more money over it... I hope it does, for Mr. Sterling's sake.
+Christie Marie Shepherd A lot of people are speculating the case won't make it to court. Last I heard Jim had a lawyer and Digital Homicide was crowd-funding for the legal fees to get their lawyer and miserably failing at it. I don't think they have a chance, but you never know. It's scary though to think any indie dev with nothing to lose can sue a RUclipsr and claim their criticism tanked their game.
"They treat their games like TIE fighters." HEY! That is slanderous! TIE fighters are more effective than those two rotten heads of lettuce! ... You know, because Romaine is a kind of lettuce?
Fun fact: Digital Homicide actually had a GoFundMe page to pay for the lawyer and I died laughing. Posting this from the afterlife. Here's a link: www.gofundme.com/47uexn9c
+ballin302008 Reading their "description" is just brain-melting and hilarious. I feel the same: relatives donated money. There's no way on earth a normal human being would look at this and go, "Yes, take my hard-earned cash."
+Alice Fisher BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA! Seeking 75,000 dollars and only have 450? Ah damn; that's funny! I think they said somewhere that a ton of other Indie devs (the other hacks Sterling has pissed off) are supporting them; that appears to either be bullcrap or a massive over-estimate.
+Rodan Lesh I KNOW, RIGHT? Scott Cawthon makes a bunch of money off merchandising for FNAF so I could see HIM making that much, but DigiHom thinks Sterling has cost them 10 million dollars worth of damages? Get real!
shredder 2003 loves ahsoka tano I'm not concerned about my channel being brought down- for one thing I'm too obscure and for another they got an epic shit-storm when they did that to Jim Sterling. I'm more concerned about being sued or them pursuing some other legal harassment; I can only hope their complete and utter failure pursuing legal action against Sterling will prevent that.
+shnick1990 It helps that all of their games are made out of pre-made stock assets you can buy from a Unity engine store for relatively cheap. Jim broke it down and Temper Tantrum- made of pre-built levels and with pre-built assets for the ghosts and kid- costs about 240 dollars to buy all the asset packs and then they just threw them together.
Hmm...I be curious....if there is any employer currently having a couple of romano brothers on the payroll ,that be very interested to learn about the fraudlent past to figure out why the bussnies is tanking when ever x shift group is in the store..
Also the fps one with the identical mideval enemies and identical rooms is just a first person version of the one with the dwarf and getting your butt kicked.
I mean, they have cool ideas, they just have no clue how to deliver them. I almost think they found a buried safe full of 90's discarded titles and decided to port them to the modern systems Damn now I'm sad because I'd actually like to play some of this stuff if it got fixed
The shit storm got worse while it could, but it may be true that they are now out of business. If so, then there is faith in humanity after all the other problems the world faces.
The Romine brothers (no, I'm not insinuating you two are in the.. m-m-m-mafia, brothers Romine, so calm your chilts) and their sock puppet accounts disliked this video xD
+Hailstorm273 I have no idea. But which Action 52 game? The 2-D shooter, the other 2-D shooter, the other other 2-D shooter, or the 24 other other other 2-D shooters?
Hearing this makes think that they might be susceptible to being sued over false advertisement considering that they are only renaming the game and re releasing it which seems like their are being fraudulent to everyone who already bought the same game only under a different name. What a load bullshit.
Massive load of bullshit. I haven't even talked about how they tried to re-release Krog Wars under different names and with different sprites 22 times.
It's a major shame that Digital Homicide made Medieval Mercs because that actually sounds like a pretty baller title for a fantasy RPG. Wish it were actually good.
Digital Homicide must have some horribly inept programmers who understand video game design less than they understand the law. I've seen games on Newgrounds more competently designed than they're shit, and that was also the only place I played something with an inconsistent frame-rate (fighting game) and I couldn't beat a single level of it because of that design flaw. Hopefully the courts laugh them out of the building.
I don't know if they'll even make it to Court- last I heard they were trying to crowd-fund the legal fees for a lawyer (and failing miserably) and they're so desperate for cash (I assume to pay the legal fees) they put ELEVEN clones of Krog Wars on Steam Greenlight yesterday.
This clip only saved 8,000 people from buying their games.. I pity the ones who have not seen this vid that did buy their games.. Even just one of their games..
so, okay; they're now officially done and over with, but... is it still saf to say Digital Homicide Studios was the game industry's equivalent of Christian Weston Chandler? (I personally wouldn't be surprised if they made a "Sonichu" game by ripping off Sonic's or Mario's engine- or any platforming engine, really- and asset-flip around it, LOL!)
0:17 Jim didn't put Arkham Knight on his worst list, just the PC port in order to make a point and from what I can see he's not rolling who disagree with him, only the people who are a complete ass about it.
I wrote this script during the time that he was bitching CONSTANTLY about Uncharted 4's players not liking any review below 9 out of 10; like, he would not shut up about it. That's why I added that line.
+John Feliciano I'd have to lean towards Superman 64, if only because Superman 64 is- at the ABSOLUTE LEAST- not boring and has more than ten minutes of content.
Francisco Navarro PlayStation was what is it for what it could be at the time, but it didn't have any shit games plaguing it's library. Okay maybe a small pile compared to endless turds shat out on steam nowadays.
+Dustin Jackson (DJNetwork) Well luckily very few people know that I exist, so unless somebody directly sends this video to them (seems unlikely) they probably won't ever find it to take it down to begin with.
I don't normally back Sterling unless he's speaking on Konami as you know, but I back him all the way with this. This is just bullcrap. DH could have made maybe two games and put them under the microscope, given them patches and put in some good hard HONEST work and they would be really popular and well received. The games would be worth the money then. But no, like you said, just make a whole bunch and hope people are dumb enough to buy them, no refunds. This is just ridiculous, what the hell is the gaming industry coming too? If they want to take you on too, they'll be making a dumb mistake because they don't need more enemies. If you need back up, just say the word Darklord, I'm ready to go to war if needed :)
+ShaunTheCHB This is major bullcrap; establishing the precedent that you can sue somebody for exercising free speech if they speak against you. Even people who hate Sterling are on his side on this one. The fact that they remain honestly convinced that their games are good tells me they're either delusional, have an ego the size of the sun, or they genuinely cannot tell what a good game looks like and desperately need to get out of the business; especially since- against all odds- they seem to be getting worse. I think I'm safe, but thanks; that's good to know. :)
***** It's getting that way now. There was a funny commercial on a video game that once said "you can sue anyone for just about anything and you'll probably win or get a settlement at least". Seems to describe the real world today pretty well. I certainly don't hate Sterling, but I can understand why some people would. He's pretty ruthless, but that's also what makes him good at what he does. I'd say all of the above. Everything you mentioned seems on the money. It's a grim sign of the times that so many devs are becoming like this. Hopefully it won't go that way, but yeah, just in case.
ShaunTheCHB Well if nothing else you can bury a target in legal fees this way- since you still have to fight a lawsuit even if it's bullshit. Indeed. Every now and then somebody asks if I think a certain company is worse than the Air Control guy; I say at least the Air Control guy made one more game, apologized for that game, and then quit. He is therefore much better than Digital Homicide and all the rest. Well as I've been reassuring the other people who have asked me: there are a few perks to being obscure. They probably won't even see my video.
***** That's true, legal fees always are costly, weather you win a case or lose. So he made another game? I am curious as to how that turned out, but at the same time I don't think I want to know. Air Control was bad enough. I don't discourage people from giving game development a go, but they need to put in the work and the dedication to making it good. I don't understand why some are content with creating garbage and charging people for it. It's wrong. We'll see what happens. Sterling is a big fish so I think they will be too busy trying to take him on to worry about anyone else.
ShaunTheCHB Yeah, that's why this whole thing is scary. He made a game called Zen Fish Simulator and it was much much worse than Air Control if you can believe that. He pulled it from Steam very quickly though- he publicly apologized for it but I think it was pulled because it uses the theme from A Nightmare on Elm Street repeatedly, which is all kinds of illegal. Some people actively try to make garbage (case in point: Journey of the Light) but a lot of them have big enough egos that they honestly believe their games are great. Yeah; plus since I mentioned Sterling at the beginning of the video I'm hoping they'll just blame him even if they do find this. Play to the delusion, you know? It's not like they could be any more pissed at him.
+James Evans I could see someone like Scott Cawthon- who's talented and makes a bunch of money from advertising- having grounds to sue for lost income on the scale of 10 million dollars, but hacks like Digital Homicide? How can they even say with a straight face that they'd be worth 10 million dollars if it weren't for Sterling's interference?
hey jadow are going to check out spiderman edge of time to celebrate A ''spiderman joining the mcu" B ''sucker punch (devs of infamous) developing new ps4 spiderman game" C "solo spiderman film name revealed".
I feel that I should call you out on your opinions for these games. While everyone's entitled to their opinion, it really comes off like you went into Digital Homicide's game library, knowing about their legal charges against Jim Sterling, and immediately had a negative bias regardless of their content. It should be mentioned, although you seem to brush this point over, that most of these games have price tags below $10, some of them under $5, meaning that consumers would purchase these games with dramatically lowered expectations and may surprisingly find them entertaining (as a matter-of-fact, in spite of your attitude, some of these titles looked interesting to me). It seems like you took the time, given Sterling's involvement, to jump on the bandwagon and downgrade DH's business as a means to challenge them, which is something I can't condone. I, for one, am somebody who fully believes in freedom of speech, regardless of medium, at the speaker/writer's expense. I don't believe in defaming someone's reputation/work pertaining to a topic that isn't related to what you're critiquing. I've seen some great material on your channel and I'd hate to see you make this mistake again. Let's fix this for the future.
RUclips! WHY DO YOU KEEP PUTTING ADS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VIDEOS? I DID NOT PUT THEM THERE! ONLY AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END!

He's pretty ruthless, but that's also what makes him good at what he does.
I'd say all of the above. Everything you mentioned seems on the money. It's a grim sign of the times that so many devs are becoming like this.
Hopefully it won't go that way, but yeah, just in case.

Well if nothing else you can bury a target in legal fees this way- since you still have to fight a lawsuit even if it's bullshit.
Indeed. Every now and then somebody asks if I think a certain company is worse than the Air Control guy; I say at least the Air Control guy made one more game, apologized for that game, and then quit. He is therefore much better than Digital Homicide and all the rest.
Well as I've been reassuring the other people who have asked me: there are a few perks to being obscure. They probably won't even see my video.
***** That's true, legal fees always are costly, weather you win a case or lose.
So he made another game? I am curious as to how that turned out, but at the same time I don't think I want to know. Air Control was bad enough. I don't discourage people from giving game development a go, but they need to put in the work and the dedication to making it good. I don't understand why some are content with creating garbage and charging people for it. It's wrong.
We'll see what happens. Sterling is a big fish so I think they will be too busy trying to take him on to worry about anyone else.
ShaunTheCHB
Yeah, that's why this whole thing is scary.
He made a game called Zen Fish Simulator and it was much much worse than Air Control if you can believe that. He pulled it from Steam very quickly though- he publicly apologized for it but I think it was pulled because it uses the theme from A Nightmare on Elm Street repeatedly, which is all kinds of illegal. Some people actively try to make garbage (case in point: Journey of the Light) but a lot of them have big enough egos that they honestly believe their games are great.
Yeah; plus since I mentioned Sterling at the beginning of the video I'm hoping they'll just blame him even if they do find this. Play to the delusion, you know? It's not like they could be any more pissed at him.
10 million? if the games were actually fantastic, I'd say sure sue.....Not for 10 million bucks dude doesn't even make that much.
+James Evans I could see someone like Scott Cawthon- who's talented and makes a bunch of money from advertising- having grounds to sue for lost income on the scale of 10 million dollars, but hacks like Digital Homicide? How can they even say with a straight face that they'd be worth 10 million dollars if it weren't for Sterling's interference?
5:35 No
I'm glad they never made it to PlayStation.

I have seen Captain America: Civil War and thought it was great; is that what you meant?
I'm guessing Digital Homicide can't take criticism...
What makes you say that?
Besides the art of observation?
***** The whole situation with Jim Sterling, the fact that they still make sub-par to horrendous games, things like that

Most observant of you.

I feel that I should call you out on your opinions for these games. While everyone's entitled to their opinion, it really comes off like you went into Digital Homicide's game library, knowing about their legal charges against Jim Sterling, and immediately had a negative bias regardless of their content. It should be mentioned, although you seem to brush this point over, that most of these games have price tags below $10, some of them under $5, meaning that consumers would purchase these games with dramatically lowered expectations and may surprisingly find them entertaining (as a matter-of-fact, in spite of your attitude, some of these titles looked interesting to me). It seems like you took the time, given Sterling's involvement, to jump on the bandwagon and downgrade DH's business as a means to challenge them, which is something I can't condone.
I, for one, am somebody who fully believes in freedom of speech, regardless of medium, at the speaker/writer's expense. I don't believe in defaming someone's reputation/work pertaining to a topic that isn't related to what you're critiquing. I've seen some great material on your channel and I'd hate to see you make this mistake again. Let's fix this for the future.
