A big difference between this and the digital homicide debacle was that he actually criticised the digital homicide games, and those games were actually bad... And the digital homicide devs were like 'nuh uh'.
Domina is meant to be a decent game, and from what i'm aware, it's all because the developer is having a mental break down, not because the game is bad, or the developer not being able to take criticism.

Domina has finally been pulled from Steam at the request of the publisher and is Jim taking credit for finally beating that terrible transphobic dev when in reality their interactions were very little and part of a much larger and longer series of shitposting by the dev.

It's like that "I made this" meme. Dev spergs for months on Steam, Jim comes in late and summarizes it, gets in a little slap fight on Twitter, dev keeps sperging on Steam, game gets pulled, Jim declares it was the developers "continued meltdown over me" even though the content of Jim's own video disproves this by highlighting solely the first part in the chain of events.

Its not like there wasn't questionable stuff going on because apparently content was removed to be sold as DLC so honestly it makes it worse than he doesn't even mention crappy business practices (you know, his thing) and just goes on about someone's mental breakdown.

Isn't the publisher the same as the developer for this? Both are DolphinBarn, so it's not like this was taken down against the dev's wishes - it was him removing it voluntarily. The other game he made was also removed - https://store.steampowered.com/app/261880/Corporate_Lifestyle_Simulator/

Edit to add: Valve actually removed his games and account and it just shows "removed at the request of the publisher" even when it wasn't the publisher, weirdly. He got banned for targetting an individual, Clara “Keffals” Sorrenti and nothing to do with Jim.

Does this mean Jim can stop bitching that Steam has no quality control?

Shame really, Domina is a pretty decent game but the DLC stuff was bullshit.

Jim's back, baby! This is the most uploads he's had in a single month for a long time, and he's finally broken out of his sub-200k view slump. Sadly, it has done nothing to slow his decline; in fact his Patreon losses have almost doubled for this month.

I guess, albeit weakly, the drama bid worked.
But I honestly think it'll backfire on him if he keeps pursuing it.
Digital Homicide was going after him in turn, if Jim keeps doing videos on this guy, it's going to come across as plain old bullying on his part, even if the dev's a nut job, or maybe because of it.
Either way, he should just drop it as is.

It's very interesting his patreon was hit harder.
Maybe some of them caught on to his pathetic attempt at DH 2.0 and decided to drop him.
Not enough for it to be worrisome for Jim just yet.
But if keeps up, it will be.

If this really was Jim trying to cynically re-capture the limelight it has backfired significantly by revealing the ceiling he can max out at these days when doing what he does 'best'.

I may have been a bit disingenuous there: there's also a chance this month's review just lined up with the bottom of a drop before it levels out again. Jim's Patreon losses have been staggeringly consistent in the pattern they follow.

Either way he's still losing money consistently, but whether or not his latest spak attack had anything to do with it is anyone's guess.

There’s something I find very gross about celebrating what apparently is a solid, inoffensive gsme being taken off the market:

”Hah hah, the consumers I claim to side with have less choice, thank God for me.”

As I said, the whole thing is just so silly and petty. The dev in question just seems to be some no name schizo off his meds, the game in question I'd never even heard of at all. Jim may be gloating about how he's destroyed a transphobe but its such a tempest in a teapot that makes him seem like he's just seeking out meaningless internet drama with nobodies because he doesn't have any actual clout or ability to hit those who might actually matter so this is the best he gets. Looking forward to him making a third video on the Dutiful. Dramatic & Dumb Domina Dev Degradation, since it ended up involving Keffals maybe he'll mention here if we're lucky.

I just don't understand how does he have any people willing to give him money at all.
What's worse, he's making $12k a month?! That's the sort of compensation you'd give to someone who saves lives or fights fires for a living, not some fat dweeb who makes unfunny YouTube rants about video games.

Most likely zombie patrons back when he was more relevant.
