Do you have a PayPal I can dump money into? That was fucking savage!Colin Moriarty's note on current games journalism
"Man, people are so bitter about Colin. If you don't like him or his opinions, just ignore it. Meanwhile, me and many others will continue to back him on Patreon to help home spread his word. I don't agree with everything he says, but most of his opinions are measured, thought out and consider more than one point of view."
Defending poor Colin and backing him on Patreon, go you.

"It appears I'm one of the very few supporters of Colin in this thread, and I don't want to harp on about it too much as I don't think I'm gonna convince anyone here.
All I want is for the EZA community to remain solid and unified. If that means not teaming up with Colin, I guess that's a concession that needs to be considered.
I hope I've not inadvertently offended any EZA members in here, was not my intention!"
Here's you thinking you offended EZA fans after defending yours...Colin

"I like Colin, I think he's great. Very rarely can people provide actual evidence of supposedly terrible things he's said. People just like to use him as a scapegoat."
I don't even know why Colin is coming up in this one but here's another locked thread where you chime in for Colin.

I could post more but I'm on mobile but yeah, any chance you get to mention Colin you're on it.
You reek of obsession for that man.
it is like a sociopath unable to muster an actual, normal human response so is scurrying around calculating and doing some cost/benefit to everything he says insteadHoly shit, not a single thing this guy says feels genuine at all. Hiding his apology in the comments section is shady as shit
You asked for this, figuratively and literally.Holy shit give it a rest you are obsessed. Like, stop replying to me.

I'll never get over him being Nintendo editor and him being unsure about why Nintendo fans are excited for Smash Bros games.
"You know, I've been looking at this very the wrong perspective"
Frightening.
"Second chance" I'm laughin
He is not entitled to a position in games journalism. No one is entitled to any job. Especially a job that a lot of qualified people would love to actually do.
This mediocre-ass dude literally tripped his way into a fucking job that he could not do (or at least had no interest in doing) and he cheated his way off the hard work of others his entire career. Why does he deserve a "second chance"? The mother fucker did it a million times and kept getting away with it. He clearly doesn't care.
This isn't even an "art vs. artist" debate. You can't value his opinions "despite these mistakes", because we don't even know what his opinions are. He never gave them. He copied the opinions of others. Again: his entire career.
No one owes this mother fucker anything. Not even the benefit of the doubt at this point. I'm sick of talentless mediocre men taking advantage of others to further their career, in lieu of, you know, actually trying. The idea that one would be content lapping up attention and profit off of work they didn't actually do is, honestly, fucking sickening to me.
Go find a job in sales, binch. No one owes you shit.

I'm pretty certain he's not a gamer at all, he just saw it as an easy and somewhat lucrative topic with the Switch coming out. It certainly explains some of the plagiarismI'll never get over him being Nintendo editor and him being unsure about why Nintendo fans are excited for Smash Bros games.
"You know, I've been looking at this very the wrong perspective"
Frightening.
I think the minimum necessity for a sincere apology is actually acknowledging and addressing what you've done wrong, which he never has, so I'm out.

Too bad, cause I really need a good BT transmitter so I can play with headphones while using the console docked.The video was more like a commercial for the product than a review.

but thank you for giving his ass the boot from ign. too bad craig "cranky" harris retired from ign.
What do you think we're doing exactly that's so hostile?I don't care for this guy but the hostility is getting a little out of control. He plagerized some stuff and lost his job for it. He didn't eat babies.

I think it's more of his insincerity that has people annoyed. He refuses to admit to what he did and tries to pull the "apology but not really an apology" thing. I'm all for giving someone a second chance, but only when it's clear that they own up to what they did and they're sorry for it; this dude has done none of that, and expects people to keep following him like nothing happened.
I agree that some of the hostility has gone overboard, considering that he did lose his job and credibility but he's honestly done nothing to earn back any good will that he's wanting/expecting, so it's not surprising people are still pissed.
But that's what I don't understand, I guess. Why are people pissed if he did not personally wrong you? Some folks should be pissed, certainly, but for everyone else ... don't watch his videos and move on.
You are free to ignore him.This guy does not deserve so much attention stop giving him views aka paying him.
You are free to ignore him.
I think that everyone deserves a second chance.
And, please, who are you to tell people what to do? Stick to your opinion.
I still can't believe just how well he faked his way into arguably one of the most prestigious Nintendo-related journalism positions in the whole industry. This guy was barely even a Nintendo fan, but jumped on board the Switch hype-train at just the right time to capture an audience and rode it all the way to IGN. This is the guy who didn't understand why people were excited for Smash. It just blows my mind.
I had to stop listening to NVC during his stint because his lack of knowledge and focus regarding anything Nintendo-related was so painfully obvious. It was embarrassing to see after all the amazing work Jose put in. So glad the show is back to its great former self.
Now I know why some people call Resetera a Hate Group. People here love to hate (ha) everything.
It is ok to not like him, to not want to watch this videos, but denying him a second chance? Are you perfect? Do you never did something wrong? Plagiarism is not the only wrong thing in the world.
I feel ashamed of the lack of humanity in some people here.
I do not usually watch north-american videos, but just because of some people in this page, I watched his video and even clicked in the ads. =P
