Remember Erik Estavillo? Perhaps his website... http://estavideo.bravehost.com/index.html...
Not ringing any bells? Here's a few. He's suing Sony for banning him from Resistance. He's suing Microsoft for RROD. He's suing Nintendo for killing homebrew channel and forcing him to buy SMG if he wants a special MarioKart character. He's suing Blizzard because apparently you can't play WoW without a subscription.... and now he's suing your favorite gaming community sites.
Once the law dawgs are unleashed, most websites immediately shut up and let the lawyers crush whoever. This is why many sites, including Destructoid, Joystiq, Kotaku, GayGamer, and even DepecheMode.com can't talk about him right now. I, however, have no attachments to DToid aside from it being a cool site what post my blog and doesn't afraid of anything.
As such, I want to say... see him in the news? Ignore him. See him in an interview? Ignore it. See him trying to use his celebrity status to do anything to move his site beyond Bravehost? Frown upon it. In fact, any communities that now interview this asshat, express your displeasure. He is a plague and an attention whore. Don't give him attention and let us all root for the many websites now under his ignorant self-entitled crusade.
How about we set up a fund and let Sterling loose on him?? Give this douche something really to cry about haha!
Anything Sterling would do to him would make it trouble for Neiro. In fact, this may even cause them trouble so should Neiro wish it, I fully offer to kill this blog.
Ugh I need to stop reading his site but it's so bad I can't look away. I mean in his legal advice section he says, "Fact is, in America you can sue anyone or thing for any reason." He goes on to say that his reader can sue Microsoft because people online use hacked controllers on CoD and Halo. And poor Felicia Day, though he is a lot more demeaning to the other women. Fucker needs to be knocked upside his head.

Hi u suck!
As a gamer i am sad first we had dumb ass kill people over games. now a fake gamer suing because games are to hard get a new hobbies i agree ,it is bad that our country is going to hell but now we have you attacking the only real good industry. what happen got mad because you ran slowly on wow.to fucking bad get use to it.you can`t run fast in real life. taking to much stuff seriously will get you hurt.as well get yourself checked out you have a small mental illness, thank you for showing the rest of the world and all of us in America that our IQ rate drops faster than fly's to shit. people like you need to be taken out back and beat with a hose.give up this pathetic campaign and get a JOB.its not fucking hard or join the military but after this hell you made yourself yo won`t get a job because every one will laugh at you ,not hire you out of fear of being sued.homeless is in your coming way. by the way i dare you to try and sue me this is all freedom of speech. you should know that by now. learn the law get a job and sop trying to suck on the big sack of the fucking u.s.a
btw yes you suck more than a open chest wound and did mommy never love you as a child that is why you are doing all this."
Yeah, he's an attention wh0re of the worst sort! I honestly hope he does get completely and utterly ignored.
I think he even offered to write for us about a month ago. Don't know what happened with that...
This kid is in serious need for attention. I don't see him stopping soon. He might try to sue Destructoid at one point, if he's sued Sarcastic Gamer as one of the commenters said. I think it's only a matter of time before we see him take on Penny Arcade and Ctrl+Alt+Delete, possibly for a comic which mocks him.
