Paperclyp Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I couldn’t gather if the dude was a staple at the site or more of a freelancer. If that’s actually his response, fuck him. He didn’t even try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 If you're playing the game yourself, and writing about your own feelings on the game, there should be no reason to plagiarize at all; this isn't a research paper. Sounds like the guy is just lazy. Good on IGN for firing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 In these cases I don’t really fault the company. It’s not like they have some plan in place to do this, and they took the appropriate action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we all might have our own grievances with IGN (hence why we have this site in the first place), but there are good people there that are honest with their work.

This event was the best thing that happened to the guy. Now he has even more subscribers to his generic youtube channel from people that love listening to generic reviews set to generic gameplay videos.
