Jim Sterling, notable computer game critic and raconteur, is being sued by computer game developer Digital Homicide. For real!
http://kotaku.com/angered-game-developer-sues-game-critic-jim-sterling-fo-1765484317
It seems that while Jim Sterling never tires of laughing at Digital Homicide's inability to produce an interesting game, Digital Homicide has tired of Jim Sterling finding their games a bit crappy, and has decided the best way to solve the problem is by suing Mr. Sterling for $10,000,000 - what they believe their games would have profited by had Jim not been laughing at them.
Which poses the age old question of when does criticism become silenceable. Do we want to feel like we're getting honest reviews or should we commend people who 'stand-up' to the 'small guy'?
If you don't like either Digital Homicide nor Jim Sterling then you might be grabbing for your popcorn, but those legal types like these kind of cases, because they can create precedents…
