Digital Homicide is suing Jim Sterling

[McJob]

Just ignore the fact this is a Kotaku article; for once there's none of that SJW bullstuff and it's actually a really detailed article about the situation:

They're suing Jim for multiple counts of Libel per se, but they don't have enough cash to pay for the court case and so they're trying to run a charity fund to build money so they can go to court.

Yeah, it's really hard to get a mirror in the mail and then look into it.

I remember seeing something about a libel lawsuit that happened in the past involving some good-bad play and a journalist based in New York who wrote a scathing review about it. When the case was brought to court, the judge supposedly asked the actors in the play to perform it in front of the jury, only to find that it was actually as bad as the journalist claimed it was.

I can't remember the name of the lawsuit, though, and have been unsuccessful trying to find it. I'm hoping someone here knows the case I'm talking about, or if it's just an urban legend.

Thank god for Jim Sterling.

This is going to go nowhere. They're wasting sterlings time.

As noted in the comments, Digital Homicide is an LLC. The reason this is important is because they're treated as a corporation in the court, which means they must have an attorney or the case will be dismissed immediately.

Unless they get an attorney, the only way for this case to go through is if they present it as an individual (aka the co-founder) rather than the company.
