Oh god yes. Honestly it's the only moment of his career I like.
Honestly, Jim Sterling strikes me as a guy who used to have intelligent takes. I remember especially his video "I'm Not Saying Emulators are Cool, but..." and "Why it's Morally Okay to Pirate Nintendo." The former talked about this weird tendency among gamers to basically act all hush-hush about emulators and act like they're "wrong," while contradictorally letting companies abuse the producer-customer relationship and, of course, turn a blind eye to the fact that things like the Virtual Console are basically just emulators and ROM files that are officially endorsed. The latter video basically said "if Nintendo doesn't respect your rights, why should you respect theirs?"
He even used to call out Social Justice bullshit. But of course, now he IS social justice bullshit and even did a video saying Steam ought to monitor people's twitter feeds and not accept game submissions from people who have posted wrongthink on Twitter. Avalanche Reviews did a video response to that one, pointing out how insane it is (not that he needed to).

Not related to the above... at the risk of being autistic as fuck, but one thing I hate about game and film reviewers today is it seems like they only either talk about recent shit, or well-known/popular stuff... unless they're heavily focused on just one category. For example one guy I like is SomeCallMeJohnny, but he mostly talks either new stuff, or does long marathons of things like Mario, Sonic, etc. that have already been discussed to death. Another guy I like is named Gmanlives, but he exclusively talks about First Person games (usually shooters, but sometimes stuff like Amnesia too). If I lose interest in FPS, then I have no reason to watch his content.
This is one reason I go back to old Nostalgia Critic or AVGN videos sometimes... these people talk about stuff I might've actually experienced growing up, things I knew about or had heard of or maybe even seen, but didn't think much about. I'd much rather hear about A Troll in Central Park than yet another hot take on the MCU.
No matter my current gripes with Jim (which honestly are pretty minor) what Digital Homicide tried to do to him was fucking bullshit and never should have went as far as it did and if there's anything positive I can say about Jim Sterling it's "Thank fuck he won that court case."
He didn't really "win..." the case never went to court at all. The way Jim described it, his lawyer went down and talked to them and literally just had to outline what the mere process of filing a lawsuit would entail--not in a "I'll beat you in court" way, but just explaining that there would be a lot of actual work, the process of discovery, etc... and when they found out it would actually be complicated and require effort, they fucked off.
, always threatend his critics that he will sue them, because his mom is a lawyer.
