How bout you three write a nice letter showing your concern instead of tone policing people who aren't harassing him. That's not even a joke, actually go do something productive if you're THIS concerned about him.

IGN to scrub Filip Miucin from site almost completely after even more plagiarism surfaces (READ OP)
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
Look, this is obviously a rough situation but the last thing anyone should be doing is spreading YouTube comments around breathlessly like they're gospel.I'm not sure if it's posted here but just read this comment on Boomstick's Dead Cell allegation video. Doesn't look good for the IGN.

Holy shotgun I didn't notice you're not a mod anymore.
Was it too much of a burden? I'd hate to moderate this thread.
This is actually pretty true. If your that worried about him or feel that bad, message him or write him or something. I'm sure a few kind words would do more for him than to tone police a forum he would have to go out of his way to visit.
Not a fan of "exposing his past" I think. Ofc I don't know what Jason is alluding to but it sounds like personal stuff - feels dirty idk

Add in the story Greg Miller told today about his 1st IGN review. He handed it in and was told just to publish it to the site. Never mind checking for plagiarism, they werent even concerned about checking for typos.
Seems like Filip could have had an easy career at IGN if he'd be born a decade earlier.
To be fair he did post a question mark at yet, so we might never hear about it. But idk. Really depends what it is. Jason seems like a smart dude I think he'll do the right thing.
There's a difference between work and personal life. If Jason was talking about the former, then alright, go on.
Long story short, I needed more time to focus on myself. I was spending like 60% of my waking time on Era most days. It wasn't healthy. I've cut down my presence on the site a lot since I stepped down.
I imagine Jason won't go hard on Miucin unless the "past" stuff is actually pertinent to this topic. It doesn't help anyone for muckrakers to dig through Miucin's past for other misdeeds that have nothing to do with his history of plagiarism. At that point it crosses the line from investigation into outright attempting to destroy his life.
Why would you put that in quotes when that wasn't what was said? That's not how quotes work. He said there is more in his past. He never used the word expose or alluded to it being personal.
You feel bad for a dude whose a serial plagiarist, showed lack of remorse for his actions and when first outed, given the chance to come clean and admit to his issues and write a sincere apology, he instead doubled down showing not only is he abrasive, but also arrogant and liar.
I'm not even sure what this guy did to deserve such a defense force. It's mind boggling to the point people are grasping at straws to find excuses like potential suicide, mental issues or lack of empathy.There's more defense in the last few pages for him than his victims whose work got stolen.
I'm sure he is aware of the board but he wouldn't be reading this unless he was trying to make himself feel worse. It's possible he's reading the thread but far from likely.
Those are your feelings not his. If I was him, I would have been over the whole ordeal in 2 days.

It's probably just this, don't worry. They did music for PlayStation Home

WOW Filip Muicin is actually connected to that. What a surprise
Sorry to hear that, you did the right thing for yourself. It can get unhealthy I may follow your example.
Hope you feel better.

Here is the text of the InnerSpace review. I don't know if the rule about copying the whole article still applies if it's not live anymore, but feel free to remove it if need be.

I was very much on the 'his life and career are ruined, leave him alone' side but the more that's been uncovered, I want to see how much of a fraud this guy really is. Is his degree faked? Was his position at Proko.com bs? Like did a friend of his just say 'yeah, I run this site, you can put it on your resume' as a favor? Is this guy really even Filip Miucin?
"Leave him alone" in terms of harassing him or his family directly, yeah, that shit should have never happened in first place. But it seems like for too many people "leave him alone" means "stop discussing the additional instances of plagiarism that are being uncovered on a fairly regular basis" and fuck that. The people he worked with and the people he stole from have every right to know.
IGN has got to be under the biggest microscope right now. I imagine people are looking at other reviewers to see if Filip is an isolated case.
Ruining this guy's life and career isn't the end goal of this. The end goal needs to be to never stop digging until we (the collective we, I personally ain't doing anything of value) reach the depths of his malfeasance and this digging is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT WARRANTED, both by this dudes deeds and by the action (or lack thereof) he's taken since being discovered. People trying to come up with excuses to defend this guy need to really fucking quit it because it's getting old. The guy has done literally nothing to warrant having a defense force, and nobody in this thread or at any outlet that is covering this is doing anything to necessitate being lumped in with any harassment this guy might be experiencing as a result of this. Like it or not this is a legitimately massive event in the history of games and it's worthy of being discussed and probed until it's fully run its course. It's bigger than Filip Miucin. People coming in here and saying we should feel guilty about discussing this if this dude does something drastic are severe assholes. What this guy does moving forward is completely up to him but it's absolutely divorced from any further narrative that happens in the wake of this, whether it be here or on Twitter, Reddit, Kotaku, wherever...
Well, his day already seems full enough playing whack-a-mole on YouTube, seeking to administer copyright strikes against every relevant video in sight. Which appears to evince an ongoing lack of remorse.
Fam, chill. I literally quote-responded to the post with his tweet. Everyone could see what I was talking about. I used the quotation marks to show that I'm unsure of Jason's findings about Miucin's past, i.e. if they are of personal nature bc that's what I associate the abstract concept of "past" with and also to express that I think "exposing" personal stuff would not be okay in this case. I used the quotation marks as scare quotes, which I think is absolutely okay in this case because I directly linked the thing I was referencing.
And yet they have to fire people for on the job performance, on the job plagiarism, even a Analyst that seems to have been incompatant for over 7 months after your peerless firm's ironclad recruitment process...
Your out sourced HR seems to be generating a remarkable number of unfit pers.
since they are now exposed, MAYBE, people will feel comfortable to share their experiences. Who knows.
Edit: better this way

Reminder: This is not a thread to discuss mental health or Filip Miucin's family. Stick to the topic please.
Would not be surprised if every single piece of content has some portion lifted from other work.
Holy shit. And people thought Schreier was being a bit too harsh.
