    If you ran a game studio and faced a slew of very negative (and sometimes threatening) user reviews, what would you do? Strive to improve your work? Rig the reviews? Ignore the haters? Digital Homicide decided that it would be better to sue the reviewers... and now, it's facing the consequences. Valve has pulled all of Digital Homicide's games from Steam in response to a developer subpoena forcing Valve to reveal the identities of 100 users who posted harsh reviews, paving the way for an $18 million personal injury lawsuit. Digital Homicide's legal action is "hostile to Steam," a Valve spokesperson says.
