IGN was right to fire Filip Miucin over DEAD CELLS review plagiarism

1. Mundane Matt be looking at some hentai and anime tiddys. Ads are based off of search history starts at 1:32

2. Dude is done reviewing games. Getting fired from the biggest video game review site in the country guarantees he'll never get hired by another site ever again. I guess he'll have to find a different career path.

3. I just don't understand why they should hire boomstick. Ok, his review was used by a former member of IGN, but that simply doesn't justify IGN hire him. But they made the right choice firing that guy.

4. Listening to the docile tones of MundaneMatt while hentai ads scroll by is comedy of the highest order.

5. Pretty sure if he beat the game, he wouldn't have felt the need to plagiarize. Just puttin that out there. Not saying it was okay what he did, rather elude to the fact that if more reviewers beat their games, they wouldn't mislead their audience or potentially steal the words from others' who HAVE beat the game. It's a problem. Reviewers need to start beating their games. Would you be okay with a movie review if the jackhole walked out in the middle of the movie? Of course not. Because double standards.

6. Cheers for IGN doing the right thing

7. why is the so many softcore hentai ads and bodypillows on the side lol

8. Seeeee this is what happens when you hire lazy people. And it wasn't even a feminist this time.

9. it doesn't matter if this was his first video or his last video. he dun fucked up.

10. IGN once aware acted in a promp and professional manner. The only thing left is some sort of compensation for Boomstick Gaming.
    If this is indicative of a systemic problem or just a bad apple I cannot tell.

11. Yes they were.

12. "Close" to outright plagiarism? It is plagiarism. It doesn't have to be exactly word-for-word to be plagiarism….

13. Shut the fuck up Matt, you weak-chinned inbred soy boy lesbian with a beard. Your wife pays for everything.

14. This guy is a serial plagiarizer.

15. They should take him to the court.. Filip should pay 1 million dollars to boomstick gaming.. ?

16. Filip Munich, they should not allow him to play video games anymore..

17. Not paying attention to the article. Paying more attention to the anime ? wtf??

18. Who cares IGN will always suck.

19. 1:32 is no one gonna talk about those anime ads on the right?

20. DAYUMN, Matt! Are those ads on that site allowed on Youtube?

21. hiring boom stick is a great idea… he seems not to be doing well so people should sub to him

22. Am I the only one that noticed all the softcore anime pr0n ads?

23. FYI, after watching the Boomstick Gaming vs IGN comparison video, I bought Dead Cells. Boomstick did a good review.

24. Fuck Filip. What happened to Marty Sliva?

25. If this was a woman. This would e been a shitstorm. Like that Jessica Price hubbub

26. when i read IGN's statement about firing their editor and will be posting a new Dead Cells review, I had the exact same thought. Why not just pay Boomstick for his review and use it in place of the removed one? they use freelancers all the time. why not have him on there? it would show amazing good faith and win back trust super fast.

27. Okay Matt, you're kinda going into SJW territory there. Don't go complaining just because they didn't use the exact wording that you would have preferred.

28. Keep one thing in mind: It's possible the IGN reviewer didn't even FULLY PLAY that game. He simply copied and re-worded another interview. Makes you wonder if that's how it usually is.

29. whelp. his career is dead in the water

30. Reading way too much into “known as…” ?

31. IGN editors have actually stated on Twitter that they are looking for a way to give Boomstick the Ad Revenue for the review.

32. Insert joke about ethics in games journalism

33. It's incredible, someone was fired in the gaming industry and no one is screaming racist/sexist/homophobe

34. I wish I could like this video more than once. They really should hire Boomstick.

35. I love ya, Matt. But there is no one else who pronounces Filip’s name more wrong. ?

36. What is the point of stealing a game review?That's so damn useless and pitiful.

37. MundaneMatt does not seem to know the definition of plagiarism.

38. Sorta reminds me of when IGN reviewed a game and were disappointed how after beating it it just ends with no conclusion. The creator of the game called them out how you need to beat it on a higher difficulty rather than easy. IGN simply edited out the part about the ending rather than correct themselves by admitting that they played on easy.

39. You read and respond to articles as you say around 7:20 mark, but you couldn't be bothered to look at a 5 minute video boomstick made to have a better idea of the situation before you decided to jump on this story in your last video?

40. IGN is fake news

41. Why do you get the best ads on websites?
    All I get is a boring political ad, telling me to vote for whatever.

42. How exactly would "having an editor" have stopped this? Im not saying they don't need one, but I just don't see how that would help.

43. I’m getting sick of major sites pulling this “exposure” equaling compensation. Money is compensation. Tangible benefits are compensation. Exposure isn’t shit. Ya done goofed IGN. Either hire his ass or pay him his fucking money.
