Oh come on, as much as I'd like an actual apology video from him, I think the dude at least deserves a second chance. It's not like he's irredeemable or actually a shitty person in games media like Nick Robinson or Ian Miles Cheong.
Why are people asking for a second chance? Its not like he copied one thing, nd it was an honest mistake or whatever. He fucked MULTIPLE people over. Hell, he plagiarized his own fucking Resume for fuck's sake.
Then there's the part where game journalism is a pretty niche field that people are passionate about, and having someone like him essentially steal the job from under someone else is fucked. Like, your entire job is to review shit and give YOUR opinion on it, if you can't do that, what the fuck are you even doing?
Its not like game reviewers make a lot of money either that he decided to ride that wave.
I don't believe he shouldn't ever be forgiven. With time, sure. But, I certainly don't believe he should ever work in the industry again.
