The attention alone never would've made it through the courts, it would also be a PR disaster going after an emu just for being popular. The RMT made it easy for DBG, still some PR backlash but not even close had there been no rampart greed on THJ's part.

The attention alone is what filed the lawsuit.

The money didn't come out until discovery.

Hope this helps.

The exact amount of money didn't come out until discovery, but absolutely everyone not living under a rock knew they were pulling in shittons of money.

its because they advertised the server everywhere they could. discords, reddits, youtube, etc. the question is: why the fuck would you advertise that you are using someone's licensed IP without their permission?

Honestly I think it was the youtube communities fault as much as it was THJs fault the hammer came down.

They also flew too close to the sun ripping on Live with those insulting click bate video titles and higher than average view counts.

Fact is, you can't make waves when you're stealing someone's IP, and the hype, the money, and the abject failure of DBG as a gaming company is all to blame here.

They have taken the server and the discord.
We have barred the subreddit gates, but cannot hold them for long...
On P99 there's a quake.
Lawsuits, lawsuits, in the deep.
