I've IGNored IGN for a very long time , they are like the rottentomatoes of gaming.
I heard now is 6 counts, including his Linkden account, the latest discovery is Nintendo Wire’s Fire Emblems: Warriors preview.
Mkay…
this guy is gaint douchbag, he even stole his resume on LinkedIn
Thank god this twat got the ban hammer. Serves him right
That's what happens when people are pressured into making overly complicated reviews, instead of just letting people explain in simple terms what the game is about, what they like and dislike about a game. When did game reviewing turn into a thesis to impress some old Professor who dresses like the lord of the manor and has a hipster beard ?
He even looks like a smug, smirky arsehole.
Saw YongYeas take on his, ahem, "apology" video. He ripped him a new one. Noy a massive fan of YY, but that video is worth watching.
Funny that he challenged the internet to find other examples of his lifting reviews. Do people still not have a concept of how huge incredibly deep and thorough crowd-sourcing can be? Reminds of how Mike Kennedy after being caught at a Toy Fair with a SNES JR in a Jag shell, posted screenshots of the "real" Coleco Chameleon motherboard on Facebook and challenged "let's see the Internet say this is a fake". It took AtariAge users less than 48hrs to find the exact (somewhat obscure) PC capture card that he shoved into a clear Jag case just by simple process of elimination. "Well it has all these capacitors, so it's some kind of video device", "The memory chips say it's not a GPU card", etc. until they narrowed it down to a capture card. A bit of Google Image search later and boom- bye bye Kickstarter campaign.
Well…dont steal shit
dont steal others work its not that hard to come up with something ?
Plagiarism isn't theft, it's fraud. The individual is claiming that the words of someone else are their own words. It's not wrong to publish similar things. It would also be okay to use someone else's words, as long as a citation is made. This is why someone can create their own version or a parody of a book, art piece, toy, etc., as long as they make reference to the original creator, or it contains nothing that would identify it as being authentic to the original creator.
Obviously IGN handled it well, there was someone to throw under the bus. No hard feelings.
Ian wins the internet
Kudos to IGN for taking immediate action. And Kudos to most people not being mad at IGN.
seems like a stand up guy
what makes it worse is that he never took direct responsibility for what he did what a dick.
Jason "responsible journalism is ebola" Schreier is calling out other journalists? ha only a problem when they are outside my private clique.
He doesn't even play games! IGN should have done their homework before hiring him. My guess is they were desperate to hire someone and checked none of his work.
This guy is such a douche. I loved his "apology" video trying to look like a victim.
how IGNorant
Ian ranch dressing story Pt3 when
He kinda resembles Mike Matei in that thumbnail. Now I dislike this dude even more
UPDATE (Robert Stack style)! Since recording the podcast, IGN has decided to take down just about ALL of Filip's work: https://kotaku.com/ign-pulls-ex-editors-posts-after-dozens-more-plagiarism-1828357792
