At this point would be it be going overboard to say that they should just pull anything he ever wrote for them? There are just too many examples of his plagiarism at this point so it seems like they should be skeptical of everything he did for them.

At the very least, take down all of his reviews and editorials, make them unavailable for the moment, and do a thorough investigation of each of them. Quarantine his works like Madagascar because they are contaminated until proven otherwise.
I'm gonna lay down a little bet and say the Bayonetta 2 review wont get taken down after it has been analysed by Dan.
It's kind of sad all the "work" he did will cause many hours of wasted work for others. I guess interns and random people on the internet will do it.
I did say you shouldn't hire a YouTuber and expect them to be able to handle the full load of being the "Nintendo Editor" immediately on the writing side of things, but looking at Filip's profile on LinkedIn (assuming that's legit, lol), his resume easily would qualify him for an entry-level traditional journalism job.
I think this was the case of a guy just thinking he could get away with it to cut corners/meet deadlines.
The review looks fine(note: so far) it's the preview of Bayo 2 that is plagiarized and IGN took it down already.
My word. Mr. Parish has such a distinct writing style you would think it best not to lift from him.
EDIT: lol dat Octopath.
I can't.

I can't imagine anybody would since IGN is actively looking into it. He was already let go and no major outlet is going to bring him on in light of everything that has come out and that continues to be uncovered.
LOL I didn't notice IGN posted a "We're hiring" tweet a few hours ago. As you can expect, the replies are what you're imagining. I can see IGN having to deal with this Filip mess for a while
Wow! They need to take everything he had made off the site immediately pending complete internal review.
I really don't care for this kind of attitude.
Vigilant acts of citizenship should be celebrated, especially in this era of questionable truth.
Journalists can't investigate everything lol wtf
This is going to be a storybook example that extrudes reasons to never challenge the interwebs for anything.
I wouldn't call it digging when all you have to do is literally google something he said while also having it pop up right away
Extremely idiotic (and hilarious), it's like they're asking for it.
Court reporting is actually a well-paying and highly sought after position with a lot of places being critically understaffed for it
I know !!!! I know !!! ... that absolutely kills me lmao
I hate to say it, but IGN should just fucking nuke every single article Miucin has written. I don't trust that anything he wrote or produced was his own independent opinion and didn't steal the ideas or literal text from someone else.
Unreal. Every time I refresh this thread, there is at least one new example of plagiarism.
This was a big deal last week, but I'm not sure anyone could predict how widespread his plagiarism was. Way beyond what I think most of us thought was even possible. Mindblowing!

It's tenpting to suggest IGN should nuke everything Filip wrote wholesale.
At the same time, they need to go through everything one-by-one, to identify who is owed an apology. They also need to come out with a public statement about the Bayonetta 2 and Octopath previews, just like the statement they made for the Dead Cells review.

I can't believe how insane this has gotten. It's like he assumed it was okay to borrow entire passages and ideas from others' work. It's mystifying.
I don't think he'll even do another apology video. He's just waiting for the heat to die down.
I honestly believe that Filip plagiarized his DOOM and Skyrim Switch port reviews just like his other reviews at this point.
Keeps getting better and better. Would love to see if Schriers tweet about having many instances given to him are legit examples of him doing it more.
And big laugh of the "extrude" vocabulary. Im sure he is perfectly aware of what it is now though given the circumstances.

Just saw the video and the GAF post...LOL. WOW! I don't even know what to say, he didn't even try to change up the post, he literally copied word per word.
And he copied from GAF like back then GAF was the still the site people used. What was he thinking? He could of cited CarthOhNoes and nobody would of cared.

This deserves a requote after two Polygon articles were found to be plagiarized.
And he said this before he was caught.

It's...not a joke?
I am just adding that court reporting is actually a pretty good job. Y'all some suspicious people.
These latest examples are blowing my mind. The paper trail of plagiarism Filip left all over the internet is ridiculous. I'm surprised he thought he could get away with it. He straight up copies key words, opinions, and even the progression of ideas. Just blatant.
Wow, so it turns out as expected. He has plagiarized other's works for years. I feel bad for IGN.
Seems like he has Cryptomnesia indeed.

Or maybe not. He's just a lazy editor.
Look at his Twitter account.
He fundamentally doesn't understand what plagiarism means. Let's forget about him understanding the moral implications. He doesn't get it as a word.
