General?
For me is more like Off-topic because General will be like a compliment for Digital Homicide.

True, although:
Edit: To clarify a bit, the General category should be used for SteamGifts and Steam related discussions

Ahaha, I knew they will sue Valve after their reaction.
Everybody saw that coming, right?
Ab-so-lu-te-ly

Seems like yesterday they were trying to sue a not very well known Sterling, look at them now, still trying...So Proud.
Is the Suit that surprising...i always assumed this would be the final destination

I do believe in that, DH is full of bullshit and they for sure won't admit that they lost now, after having their titles removed from store.

Yep, this is known confirmed psychological effect that we tend to agree with articles that match our initial point of view, regardless if facts included in there are actually true or not. However, after trying to sue 100 steam users for negative reviews, sueing Jim Sterling, and trying to force Valve to give private details of those people, I honestly doubt that they'll admit defeat now, regardless of article. Plus, it's quite reliable source, not some made-up website for clickbaits. I tend to verify that before spreading out news, I just considered it funny enough to post.

The Techraptor article you're quoting was a joke. The real thing is up on Digital Homicide's official webpage, which I refrain from linking here out of fear for my immortal soul.

Not sure if you heard the newest info, but they posted on their site they are seeking to sue Valve.

"create a digital “safe space” for developers on Steam." so they are like the SJW of game development?

Clarified title according to actual situation, thanks!

according to an unnamed source reported by Video Games Fox News
Quality source for sure.

It was a joke. Was. Now, if you look at their official webpage, it's come true.

Top notch comedy. I just hope that this will be a warning to every hobby greenlight dev on steam who might think he can go around throwing lawsuits if his game does not have the success he/she/it hopes for.

So after becoming a shitty game dev they are now aiming for a career as shitty lawyer as well?

They will probably sue the court when they lose all of their lawsuits.

Reopened with confirmed info from their official site.

Seeking legal representation doesnt mean they are suing. It means they are hiring a lawyer. After which the lawyer will likely tell them they have no chance.

In case the webpage gets updated in the future, an archived version of their homepage is provided here for reference.
And yes, http://www.digitalhomicide.ninja/ is indeed their official website. Please don't be surprised if you feel like they put as much effort on their website as they did in their games.
Comment has been collapsed.
That archived version is a lot easier to read than the main one, due to not having the things on the side about their bundles.

Plus it's a little more comfortable to read with very young family members around.

Did you see they are selling their games on itch.io. 5% off each game or you can (be brave and...) buy them all.

I don't get why Vavle allows devs to generate keys for removed games... it was the same with that Russian Rock N' Roll Racing clone a few years ago. It was removed because they used unlicensed art and sounds from the original game. After it was removed from Steam though, they kept on selling Steam keys from their own site.
Vavle is weird sometimes.
Comment has been collapsed.
itch.io is its own platform, it has nothing to do with Valve or Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't state anywhere on that site that you get steam keys.
And those keys you are mentioning are most likely keys they already had in stock before the games were removed .
Comment has been collapsed.
They've said it comes with Steam keys on their official Steam group though.
The keys might be already generated, but since there's no limit to how many a dev can request... it doesn't really matter. A dev could have enough keys on hand to cover for years of sales. The Russian Rock'N'Roll clone (Motor Rock) for example is still to this day selling keys for their game on their site, despite being removed from Steam back in 2013.
Comment has been collapsed.
But what do you want Steam to do? Revoke the keys? They may then hurt people that actually bought the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it would be justified in cases such as with Motor Rock. The game was blatantly using stolen assets from the original game (which they didn't have the license to do). The fact you can still buy a copy of it for Steam to this day kind of defeats the purpose of them removing it in the first place, doesn't it?
Vavle could have put up a notice on the store page and given people a month or two to activate the keys, before disabling all unused keys. That would be reasonable if you ask me.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can't generate steam keys for purchase disabled or removed games (according to Christopher Park from Arcen Games). But any already generated keys will still work, so if a dev things they're going down, or just generate batches of keys for future use, they can keep selling their game for a long time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Which is a major flaw because if I ever released game on Steam, first thing I'd do after getting it on store would be generating 100k keys "just in case"...

Everybody saw that coming, right?
Yes, this is their official website, looks as good as their games
