"Uh, I liked the game but I can't be arsed thinking up something of my own so I'll just find a random amateur review on the tube and go from there and get my paycheck".
Even more hilarious is when these shit sites don't skip a beat when it's to throw some youtuber/streamer under the bus when they fuck up.. at least euroderper and rockpapersilence!. They're going away and they know it.
Also... ignoring their pleas to turn off adblock on every single page gives me waaaaay more satisfaction that it should

Utter twat.
I have the same statement about Dead Cells! it is an okay game but if I'm to describe what makes it okay I wouldnt find anything that does not sound bland on its own.
They're likely to scrub all his reviews after evidence of multiple cases of copying or lifting and using other works for his articles.

FYI it's looking more and more likely that most of Fhis work published on IGN has editorial copy in it sufficiently derivative of previously-published work that it is a significant ethical breach and will need to be removed.
We are moving on it as fast as we can as a Senior Editorial staff.
There are complications. Including challenges around removing review scores and the way out site CMS works (which is why Dead Cells unfortunately displayed a "0.0 Disaster" score for a time).
A final decision hasn't been made but I think the most likely outcome is all of his work will be removed, and we'll decide from there what we need to do in terms of replacing the back-catalogue of critical content we owe game makers.

In the now deleted apology video, Filip dared people to find more evidence of his plagiarism as he claimed it didn't exist.
Considering the seriousness of this I wonder if it'll become a legal issue, even the damn resume was copied from some template ha ha.
I'd imagine IGN at least has suffered a bit of damage so with all of this being unearthed from 2017 or older that might see it being taken to legal and settled in some lawsuit since the extent is just more and more with all sorts of work copied from all sorts of sources.
And yeah I doubt he's ever doing more video game journalism work other than maybe on his own channel and that's probably going to be pretty dead far as serious viewers are concerned if the content is just going to be taken from more quality channels and sources.
Why should he apologize and what would it be good for? I'm pretty sure he did this very deliberately, certainly doesn't feel sorry for it and doesn't seem to be giving two shits about the concept of credibility (which is a rising trend, sadly).
He seems to be just a lazy asshole that wanted to make fast and easy cash by doing it .
Like many people in this world.
The thing is, even if he did make a good apology... would it be genuine? Would you even believe him? I know I wouldn't. The guy plagiarized like crazy. You don't do this by accident.
The comment that is read out in the video is also hilarious.
"if you think we are stupid and will just forget"
Yes... we are stupid. There are people being that stupid already in the very video and sucking his dick... uhm.. forgiving him.
And people will forget. Only the few sad grumpy souls like me won't. But guess what... that's sadly the minority.
Besides... yeah the guy got caught... I doubt he's the only one though. He happened to be the one not getting away with it undetected...
Feels like a pointless witch hunt now...
Pointless like everything... look into the dark abyss people and despair!
Time for my daily warm cup of bleach.
(PS: I will hold speeches at your party to ruin the mood for just 20€!)
He could have initially acknowledged he plagiarised another video because of some deadline and personal/mental issues he went through for a period and he could have promised never to do anything like that again. He could have reached to the youtuber he stole from and asked for his forgiveness, he would get it for sure. Then he should take a break from Youtube and the drama would die down.
Certainly not challenge people to find more instances of plagiarization
Well, they were not asking him his fees for a positive review. This sounds perfectly normal - the company I work for spends millions on social media/youtube reviews in addition to conventional advertising. We also invite bloggers to our launch events, give them samples to review, etc.
What he means is when companies pay for "positive" reviews but that's almost never done directly. There are agencies you pay to "improve brand recognition" and to "create a positive social media outlook" for your poduct.
When you give someone a review copy it means they may review it. When you ask them how much they charge for the review, it's obviously to guarantee they will put out a review and of course it's almost impossible for the reviewer to be objective about the game. In the paid fucking review!
This is the exact same thing the hardware industry does with paid white papers on various bits of kit. Intel is notorious for it. It's never explicitly a bribe, but it's pretty obvious exactly what is going on.
