On March 16, 2016, Digital Homicide's co-founder James Romine filed a lawsuit against video game critic Jim Sterling for "assault, libel, and slander" for releasing negative reviews of their output, starting with a review of their debut game The Slaughtering Grounds in late 2014, and sought $10 million in damages. Sterling had also accused the developers of deleting negative reviews from the game's Steam page and banning users who criticized it. This conflict would go on for almost a year, with the asking price being raised to $15 million at one point, until the parties settled and the case was dismissed with prejudice on February 21, 2017.
