I could not believe this article when I read it, Digital Homicide is suing 100 steam users for writing negative reviews of their game. Valve has stopped doing business with them entirely and pulled all their programs, I won't call them games because they really aren't deserving of that title.

Edit: According to steam discussions, they issued a subpoena to Valve asking for the personal info needed to sue these users and Valve said FU. Though citation needed on that one.

Good to see they're not just bowing over and taking it.

They need to make a federal anti-SLAPP law and immediately impose massive fines on anyone caught filing a SLAPP.

In partial good news, anti-dispargement clauses are well on their way to becoming illegal on a federal level... that's probably half the battle.
