How many gaming related publications are still based in San Francisco? IGN and Gamespot right? If these kinds of jobs aren't making enough money to the point it's affecting how they hire people, is there a reason why they stay there other than just they've always been there?
I saw someone mention that some outfit was based in MN, but I can't remember which it was.
This is why this thread is never-ending. Every single day there's just more, and MORE, and MORE horror.
Soon we will find out that Filip Miucin is a stolen identity.

We will soon learn that Miucin was a secret plant by Jason Schreier to boost Kotaku's fame and put IGN in a bad light.This is why this thread is never-ending. Every single day there's just more, and MORE, and MORE horror.

So I made the original post about seeing his Fight stick video being accused of being copied, and now can elaborate having watched both, the videos in questions are here

a few things stand out, he is clearly inspired by it, both videos have almost an identical shot showing off a carboard arcade machine for the switch, something that has nothing to do with the controller being reviewed. It also re confirmed how little he knows about games, believing sonic the hedgehog, a game on genesis was meant to be played with an arcade stick, this shit is crazy. People were pointing out that his work was copied the entire time.
Ben Hanson is such a good podcast host. Filip should've copied him!
I specifically went to look at these two videos again today. I had watched them months ago when researching the stick, but given everything that happened recently, something told me there's no way he'd know enough about a fightstick to make a proper video. I didn't find too much similarity in the wording but yeh, that cardboard cabinet thing was...eyebrow raising.So I made the original post about seeing his Fight stick video being accused of being copied, and now can elaborate having watched both, the videos in questions are here

In regards to the cardboard cabinet, it seems that it comes packaged with the arcade stick. At least that was the impression I got from the unboxing of the other guys vid. So it'd make sense to set it up and use it as well.I specifically went to look at these two videos again today.

After the recent findings, I'm starting to think he doesn't even know what plagiarism is or since he used different words its different.
I do not believe the stick comes with it, the filip video states it cost $14.99 and is made by basstop, not horiIn regards to the cardboard cabinet, it seems that it comes packaged with the arcade stick.

I don't understand Filip. He is spending his time editing and producing top notch content in his YouTube Channel. Writing his thoughts and opinions seems to be the easier part.... why is he short cutting that?!
lol.. you didnt do a article if you aint write it.. just sayingUhh no, when you suck at writing, writing is not the easiest part.
From what I see, he had the video editing skills, and even had a youtube "personality", but he sucked at writing professional scripts, that's why he lifted them from somewhere else.
And I understand that completely, I once did a magazine-type article about game music, and all I knew and wanted to do was the screenshots and design, but writing an entire page about a game's music? That took forever. So I decided to instead take things other people have said and use that (settle down, I gave credit to everyone).
And this is what I wanted to do:

I mean what the hell. Does he even pay attention to the games industry at all?
I stand corrected. And Philip definitely took the other YouTubers idea.Yeh it doesn't. I eventually bought the stick. It's a totally separate product.
lol.. you didnt do a article if you aint write it.. just saying
Good gravy. I take a day's break from reading up on Filip and come back to even more shenanigans? Props to IGN for handling the hand they've been dealt on this. What an absolute pain to have to clean up after this guy.

I just can't wrap my mind around this one.Lily deleted her tweet of the DMs, unfortunately. From recollection:
Filip: Hey Lily I have a question for you.
Liliy: Sure.
Filip: Why are people so excited about Smash?
Lily: I dunno, maybe because it's got all these Nintendo characters from every franchise ever. People want to see who will be featured and what new content there will be.
Filip: Wow, thanks. I was thinking about it totally wrong, but I see you have the right perspective.
I'll keep repeating it, people love to fall for that shy guy, nervous gamer look.The more stuff comes out about this, the more I keep changing my mind on the situation and on him.
I listened to NVC; he seemed affable enough but super nervous at the beginning and definitely the least knowledgeable in the group when it came to Nintendo. Towards the end, I did think he was at least a little more assertive but still didn't really care for his style, but whatever.
When the Dead Cells things came out, I thought it was his "nervousness" at his first full review and in a moment of panic/weakness/whatever he made an egregious mistake.
Then the Schreier thing happened, where he specifically called him out to find more examples that were clearly, readily available with the most superficial of looks. I started to think that maybe he didn't *get* what he was doing was so wrong? Maybe he was just completely oblivious and ignorant to what he was doing and looking at other reviews he agreed with and changing a few words in his mind wasn't the horrendous journalistic error that it is?
That changed in the last few days where i just think that he was just ultimately lazy. I'm not sure why zeroed in on video games (maybe he wanted to play video games for a living... I dunno) but didn't really care about them, or wanted to do any work.
But now, with the most recent tweets from his former co-workers (many now deleted), I think the worst possible explanation is that he knew exactly what he was doing... manipulating people to help him out to cover for his own laziness. He was nice enough and could seem humble and gracious when he needed something and could use or exploit people, but then when he had no need for them, seemingly discarded them. That tweet from Lilly is really telling.
Nah, NihongoGamer said he got the cardboard cabinet thing on Amazon.
Did you give yourself credit for something in this article?The definition for "Article" doesn't state if it maters if you wrote it yourself or if it's just full of quotes.
You do realize that not many people buy a car paying the full price upfront, right?Id say you'd still have to be making at least six figures to easily afford a car that price.
I did I was talking about in the article, look like a wikipedia page.Did you even read my post? :)
I even posted an example of what I did.

It's really presumptuous for someone with your writing skills to call out someone else's, but whatever.
Uh ok, sure. I guess?Wait, I can ignore the OP and just not see this thread on my front page anymore??? I WIN FOREVER
The DMs were with Youtuber Spawnwave and posted by Spawnwave's friend and fellow Youtuber DreamcastGuy. They were taken down after Spawnwave changed his mind about posting them. So far I haven't seen or been able to retrieve a cached copy. The gist of it was Filip told Spawnwave that he wasn't following Octopath closely but needed to interview the devs in a few days. Spawnwave suggested 4 questions on the spot (good questions, ones anyone interested in the game could come up with though). Filip said thanks, you saved me a ton of work, and used them (verbatim?) for his interview.Good gravy. I take a day's break from reading up on Filip and come back to even more shenanigans? Props to IGN for handling the hand they've been dealt on this. What an absolute pain to have to clean up after this guy.
Lol I work in writing, what the hell I look like writing perfectly on damn game forum lol. Yall trippin. I'm here to have fun not to impress you. ReyVGM was tryna impress with his article though. He knows I still love him thoughIt's really presumptuous for someone with your writing skills to call out someone else's, but whatever.

You can have fun and use commas/periods properly ;)Lol I work in writing, what the hell I look like writing perfectly on damn game forum lol. Yall trippin. I'm here to have fun not to impress you. ReyVGM was tryna impress with his article though. He knows I still love him though
