Erik Estavillo, the agoraphobic Resistance player who keeps attempting to sue Sony for banning his trolling arse, has now decided to try and get some money from Microsoft and Nintendo as well. His last case against Sony was thrown out of court, but it seems that Estavillo is desperate to leech some cash off at least one game company.
Microsoft is being sued over the Red Ring of Death, which allegedly hit Estavillo's Xbox 360 recently. The greedy whore claims he's disabled and thus can't afford the "well over $100" price required to fix it. He wants $75,000 from Microsoft because the system's breakdown caused him "undue stress" as well as the "sadness he will have in the mean time of finding one he can afford."
The Nintendo suit is even more amazing. NoA is being sued because the latest Wii update disabled his Homebrew Channel. Apparently he was using it to pirate Super Mario Galaxy so that he could unlock a character in Mario Kart Wii. Estavillo wants $5,000 because Nintendo is standing in the way of his "“pursuit of happiness." He also believes Nintendo forces customers to buy games to unlock characters in other games, thus justifying his piracy.
Erik claims to suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia and Crohn’s disease. None of these disorders seem to provide a clue as to why he's such a lazy, parasitic, little piece of sh*t. Still, you have to give him credit. He's a God among trolls.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

That said, while his lawsuits are bullshit, I hope that he wins them.
Trolliness
Can't be bothered to work? sue people with ridiculous claims until you get lucky and some one pays up.
Got mildly annoyed by something? Sue someone and claim it caused you extreme stress, and the only cure is a stupid sum of money.
Is it wrong to recommend to this boy that he should top him self?
This guy has $$ for at least three consoles, and is somehow a shut in with crazy diseases that getting banned or bad updates will affect his sadness meter.
Go Figure.
QFT!
This guy deserves the Idiot of the Week award. :p
Someone who has pro bono legal representation should make a fan site for Erik Estavillo. I wouldn't touch it without that, though. While the claims are always dubious, I'd be scared of lawyer bills.
Also, I just got killed on Left 4 Dead 2. I'm going to sue Valve for ruining my fun.
I couldn't help but laugh when I read this.
On a serious note, having Crohn's isn't an excuse to be a dumb cunt.
Ugh, disease or no disease, dude needs to learn that the world doesn't revolve around him.
That's all.
Anyway, crohns aside, this kid sounds like he could use a reality check.
Unless he's representing himself...?
Hell my old-ass copy of Harvest Moon:IaWL needs a GBA and another game and a connector cable, which I never had, to do everything. Lets sue the people that made the box for HM cus that makes as much sense!
Yes Jim, all pirates are dung beetles, but I don't think even in their multitude there are enough to dismember even one of your toilet breakers.
Too bad he's clogging up an already bloated legal system with more stupid lawsuits.
You are quickly becoming the newest "Official D-Toid TROLL!"
Disc-locked douche-baggery anyone?
