IGN to scrub Filip Miucin from site almost completely after even more plagiarism surfaces (READ OP)
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
People are just mimicking everyone elses posts. Being on subject and all.
Plagiarising other people's previous posts, he's 30 ish with a wife and two kids.
I feel pretty sorry for his family with no income :(
would be a good move to remove all his content from the site. so the internet can leave this topic alone, and filip can go get a job he cant plagiarise in and take care of his family before the internet hate destroys that as well.
Let's not forget the fact that he is a manipulative asshole that uses people for his own gain. Yeah, fuck him.
So people are just copiyng others posts? In line with the topic?
We all learned that the lack of intelligence and empathy dont go well together.
Thinking of him earning his money by mostly stealing the work of others and slightly rephrase it is bonkers. Minimal effort. That sure sounds like a dream job!
So far evidence of plagiarism has been found for the following:
- Dead Cells review (copied from Boomstick Gaming review)
- FIFA 18 review (copied from Chris Scullion's review for NintendoLife)
- Bayonetta 2 review (copied from Polygon review)
- Metroid: Samus Returns review (copied from Engadget review)
- Octopath Traveller review (copied from Polygon review and something written by a another IGN employee)
- Fire Emblem preview (copied from NintendoWire preview)
- Switch Rumble explanation (copied from NeoGAF post)
- E3 impressions
- Fire Emblem Warriors (copied from Goomba Stomp)
- Pokken Tournament DX (copied from The Iris)
- Mario vs Rabbids (copied from NintendoWire)
- Super Mario Odyssey (copied from Sydney Morning Herald)
- Sonic Mania (copied from NintendoLife and TrueAchievements previews)
- Pokken Tournament DX review (copied from Wikipedia article)
EDIT: For posterity here's an archived version of Filip's infamous response to the allegations: https://archive.org/details/youtube-w_PPI9e0Nnw
EDIT 2: Correcting link to Polygon's Bayonetta 2 review. I accidentally linked the Wii U review instead of the Switch one, which is the one Filip plagiarised.
EDIT 3: Added another example: Pokken Tournament DX review
EDIT 4: HAHAHA HE EVEN PLAGIARISED HIS RESUME OMG I'M DEAD

Probably a bluff he thought it wouldn't be called cause he's too dumb to understand how the internet works.
Not shocking at all.
Once they caught him, they knew that there was going to be a shit load of bodies waiting to be excavated.
It's not crazy at all, people who plagiarize in an industry like this are serial plagiarizers. IGN knew there was going to be probably dozens of reviews he lifted from others once they got an investigation rolling.

Someone posted 1-2 pages back that he's got two kids (around ages 8 to 10), so he's surely well over 20 years old.
People saying they feel sorry for him and he has to provide for his family.
He can easily get a job in a supermarket, fast food restaurant etc. There are millions of americans with low paying jobs and they also have kids. Unfortunately he can't use IGN as a employment reference. He can't use his YouTube channel to show employers he can do something in a similar field as a tiny bit of research the employer will know who he is and what he did. The only hope he has is to do something completely different in his career or get a low paying job. Having to tell you wife about the situation must be tough. Let's hope she hasn't seen how far the rabbit hole was.

This deserves all caps.
HOLY SHIT
I thought reading the GAF post with that video was crazy, but this is psychedelic for me. O_O
Like, it's the most transparent one I've seen so far (Other than the 1:1 NeoGAF comment) Holy what.
It's crazy how much worse he made the situation by uploading this apology video. People would have moved on a couple of days later ....sure he lost his current gig but at least for the public it was based on one article/review. Many still had the mindset that it was a one time thing and he maybe had too much work load to get the video done in time. His articles would still have been on IGN and a reference for future work or employees.
But man after this .....damn.
But man after this .....damn.
He has good production and editing skills. Im sure he can find a job somewhere. What he really needs is seek help for his personality disorder.
Thanks for compiling this. I didn't know about him copying from an article from a fellow writer at IGN. I can't decide whether that or the verbatim copying of Cartho's GAF post is the most brazen out of all of these.
He knew all of this was out there and dared Schreier to find more... why?!
Ha, this is best! I would like to point out for those who think plagiarism can happen on accident that you used entirely different words/phrasing/length to describe the same event. There's no "on a 60-inch TV" overlap.
Alright I'll give it a watch...
"WHATSGOINGONEVERYONE, THANKSFORCLICKINGTHATVIDEO"
Jesus Christ, reviews, previews , random hardware thoughts , nothing is safe with this guy.
This is the story that keeps on giving. At this point I don't know if he's ever produced original content, and that's wild to think about considering how he got here.
It's gotten so bad that the defense force atomized on sight. Couldn't shut those people up in the first thread, now you can't get a peep out of them.

He uses the word research to justify his plagiarism. That's the lie he tells himself to justify to wrong he's doing. That tweet is him being self aware of who he is and justifying it.
I dont feel sorry for him. He has to learn his lesson somehow.
I was actually trying to imagine the conversation I would have with my wife if I had done the same thing he did. Imagine how she must feel right now. I feel bad for her and the kids.
I really doubt he told her everything
Probably told her he did research and unintentionally copied some parts which got him fired and how IGN is a terrible place to work for.
People need to start looking into a class action lawsuit.
This stuff is not to be joked around with, considering he was making money off all these videos based on other people's work.

The cost to file such a thing vs how little was made wouldn't make it worth it. It's why situations like DH sueing Jim Sterling are so rare.
She's probably googling the wedding vows he "wrote" to see which YouTuber he lifted them from
lol no. IGN have every right to sue him (although I don't think they will), but a class action? Under what pretenses? I'm enjoying watching how far the rabbit hole is opening up, but wishing expensive legal action on the guy? He's a fucking idiot for thinking this would fly and is getting called out, but I don't want to see anyone's life totally ruined
It just escalated from there with copypastas and memes up the whazoo. It went on for over thirty pages too.
Wait this the current list ?
Things go so fast.
But how do you copy e3 impressions ? O_o
It's supposed to be your own thoughts regarding a game you've tried or a trailer you saw.
And here I thought the GAF POST COPY was the lowest bar ......
But should he have been paid for those YouTube ads?
Should he not reimburse the money he made from copied content?
If he'd delivered a proper apology, he might have been able to bounce back. Not to IGN, but to some small YouTube following. But noooooo, he had to be an arrogant little dick. And now the full extent of his lies are revealed, and he's basically never going to be hireable anywhere in writing.
I still believe IGN shares responsibility in not vetting this hack well enough. Every day more evidence comes to light showing how blatant this shit was.
He put up his "apology", got his monetization money, and I doubt he's coming back to the gaming world. Perhaps if he teamed up with someone who could write content for him and just plays the part of the YouTube personality. Either way, I don't think the majority of people are going to trust his content, in the future.
