@@onefungi5866 Not much to say to this in reply, people like or acknowledge it but it is a pretty stander line about being independent and humble. Not that there is a more unique way, off the top of my head, to say. Fair disclosures this is not a remark on his work en-fact I have already sub and after this going to look at his other reviews.
ACG acg were you coming here to get some idea dor he next review? Hahaha I am kidding, continue the good work, god podcast yesterday about monster hunter!
Hey guys, here to let you know that I invented a new word called "Plagiarism". The definition of the word plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Hope you guys enjoy MY word.
Leon Coombes I being honest here I didn't copy anyone. Sure someone might have had the same idea but when I wrote my comment I hadn't seen any similar comments.
Nope. Most teachers don't even read the homework. Math teachers and foreign language teachers are really the only ones who do. Most of my family work in the school system, and I've dated more than a few teachers.
What's up with your teachers? Mine would mark up my page for using a different dialect's spelling of a word and would highlight and make notes on certain sentences they either liked or disliked.
IamI3rian maths teachers always got me with "show your working out", and foreign language teachers knew about the good ole Google Translate, the bastards
This was actually more of a blessing in disguise for Boomstick Gaming. Jumping up from 11k subs to now 55k subs, hell I even subbed now xD. Plus getting comped by IGN.
FANtomCore if you are stealing someone's else's work to make profit off of what's not yours you should be punished. He should have done his own work/ research on the game before reviewing instead of being lazy and stealing nearly word for word someone else's hard work.
Havoc FANtom isn't saying anything to the contrary. He's saying IGN has contacted him to discuss compensation, and in addition to whatever compensation is dealt Boomstick got the added benefit of publicity that helped to x5 his channel, which was an unintended benefit. In the second post FANtomCore was not saying that they felt the punishment was unwarrented, they were referring to Alex's theory that it could have been planned, saying it's pretty much impossible as the whole issue lost Filip's job, highly doubtful Filip would have agreed to a plan to grow a small channel by sacrificing his career, it's much more probable that it was inspired by his own motives.
Damn that's like something you'd do in high school, copying and altering book reports. But this has no place in the professional world. Hope IGN comes forward with a statement and good job on the (original) review!
If you pay attention to the people around you it's easy to tell that nothing has changed since high school. While people cheated, gossiped, and bullied in high school, people still manage to do it in "the real world." Those same people get into positions of power, has kids (Instilling their views) and it's a never ending cycle of high school.
RobinGaming I'll be sure to notify the high school police about this injustice! 😆 For real though, it is very shocking that such a big gaming platform would stoop so low. I'm guessing the guy never played the game. I mean, your job is to play games and review them, how bad could this life possibly be!? For shame.
Cinematography Database nothing to do with this video but I Love your channel. Would you consider doing a break down of Harry potter and the half blood Prince? The cinematography is wild.
Hey Matt, great to see that you're very active on UA-cam with a wide interest on videos, always popping up in comments I don't expect to see you in. Great content on your channel, love your work!
The Dead Cells devs are throwing a party right now. This controversey coupled with the great review scores is going to make this game fly off the charts.
@ChesterDoge Agreed. I'm not saying they don't deserve it. They made a great game. They're just getting a pretty sweet bonus with all this press. People will check in to see what's going on and buy the game. @McShlisy This will likely sink Filip Muicin. Not sure where that factors into your conspiracy.
How did he think he was going to get away with this? This is like 1998, when the internet was first taking off, middle school essay writing, level plagiarism.
because people think they can still get away with the same tricks of the trade as always and until someone throws it in their face they won't do anything, no apology, no explanation, no defending. plagarism is only bad if you get caught.
Plus you can't really be sure what's gonna happen with big companies and their employees. Sometimes they get fired, sometimes the company issues a statement saying they didn't find any wrongdoing and just move on. It's ridiculous how much people get away with nowadays.
You know, the best part about all of this is your "calm, nice and very professional" reaction to this entire thing since most people would be "infuriated" and cussing left and right when reacting to this disgusting act of plagiarism. And because of that, not only you've earned my respect, but also gained me as a new follower too! All the best! :)
EPICBERRY101 - First time what? That editors have said similar things about the same game. No, considering you can only say so much, I'm sure it's not the first.
Exactly I been telling people how sinister and phony they are. If I'm commenting and bring up a real comment such as a racist remark spoken out of a dev mouth that should be free speech right? Nope IGN let fan boys report my comment and removed my comment and banned me meanwhile those same guys comments included profanity and hateful remarks to me. That situation truly let me know IGN had crooked moderators who unfairly removed gamers comments and showed favoritism to known fan boys that keep up the drama. Like I can still pull up the same article and still see those comments with those same Sony fan boys I reported calling me a bitch and ass holes. #IGNCROOKED
Make a video about it, get someone fired, get a formal apology from IGN with nearly immediate response, increase the size of your channel several times. That's what you do.
the stolen content is bad, but it's created something very positive for him as an unexpected after effect. publicity towards his channel that he rightly deserves
Adnan Can And Its also good for *Dead* *Cells* cause i never heard of that game till this scandal and Just Picked up a Copy on my nintendo switch yesterday.
What a freaking mess. Glad this is going viral and I hope that IGN pays you for your content. They made some good money off your work. Best of luck in the future and Im a happy new subscriber!
How does he get work now? I mean, who hires a writer that has plagiarized someones work? No company would want to take the risk of getting sued in the future because of him.
Tbh he would of gotten away with this if he didn't literally start copying word for word in the middle there , the beginning was pretty different and then he went , oh no , I gotta get the review done by tomorrow gotta go fast .
It's not as word for word as the later lines but the content is still very much the same. Then you progress to find out the guy didn't even bother to do that much
if you notice the reviewer most likely never even played the game "doors that will open after a certain amount of time have elapsed" or you know the opposite of that entire sentence
I've had some of the big boys steal my work in the past, It's sad that they don't think you're good enough to hire, but good enough to steal from. Did you ever get any response from IGN? I see the story is in the industry press now like MCV.
Is because the big boys as you call them don't hire, they just want to do their job as quick as they can. You can use the case in your curriculum and try to find their bosses.
twitter.com/IGN?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor this is there twitter account look at the most recent tweet it says that he got fired
Shenmue no he works at the IGN offices, he's on camera and hosts NVC their weekly nintendo podcast...he replaced Jose Otero who I actually really liked. I never quite liked Filip and found him kind of vapid...Even on the podcasts he mostly just repeats what his cohosts say or have said.
My favorite part is where the reviewer quotes the speed doors and completely messes up how they work "Almost every level has a door that will unlock after a certain amount of time elapses." He obviously didn't play the game
That ex ign reviewer is a douche he totally pretty much took no responsibility and was mad at you for calling him out. The piece of shit should not be allowed to workin that field ever again.
*Gotta love when youtube channels with millions of subs copy those with less than 15K* But in all seriousness I did leave something about this in the IGN subreddit, while I doubt IGN themselves will acknowledge it, we can atleast get more people aware.
www.reddit.com/r/IGN/comments/956x5w/ign_dont_copy_this_guys_video_when_you_have_10/ Theres the link, theres a actually a lot of people supporting you. I think IGN actually removed their review. So thats good
Tell to your Nursing teacher or professor that they are cultured AF! The same thing where my Lecture use this video where she does her introduction in a Proposal Essay class at my university.
Simple solution - tell them they have two choices: 1) They issue a formal apology, put your video on their website, pay you a freelancer fee, and give you all ad revenue created by that review and webpage. 2) They can see you in court for copyright infringement. If they go with option 2, document the entire experience here on UA-cam and offer interviews to any of IGN's competitors. Either way, your channel grows and you get money. Congrats, you just won the UA-cam lottery!
Yes! IGN are an embarrassment. Not only do they do shit like this, but they give out the most pathetic reviews based on whether or not they were paid to do them.
Cobalt Fun fact, it's still plagiarism if you change some words here and there. No it's not a direct copy and paste but it's still stealing someone else's work. Next time, pay attention in school
It's not copy and paste. his words are different. what is "copy and paste" is the structure. it hits the same points at the same times in the same order. is that plagiarism? not really... having the same "ideas" as someone else in a review isn't uncommon and isn't something that could stand in court, after all how can you PROVE it wasn't just coincidence, and like i said it isn't a complete rip of his work, it is certainly similar in allot of ways. is it scummy as hell? fuck your ass it is. what i think happened was this 1. reviewer held off writing the review 2. higher ups said "hey we need this by like tomorrow" 3. reviewer freaked 4. "youtube.com" 5. finds review on small channel 6. "fuck it" 7. changes some words, keeps structure 7. ???????? 8. profit
RGT, can you stop feeding on someone elses problems? Shit like this is what makes you lose subs. You used to be a good channel, now you're just Wood 2.
RGT 85, I used to love your channel, but it’s become just clickbait leeching off of others with no actual content or originality. Thought you’d leech a video off of this and lo and behold, you’re in the comments section, promoting your channel. Oh, and, he’s not your brother.
You are not the only one. I'm subscribing right now to show support and see what other reviews he got here. Maybe I'll stay for good. Have a great day.
I'm assuming the reason for the copy is because you're easy pickens for them being a smaller channel. Glad to see that Reddit (where i found this) put you on the front page. Hopefully IGN responds and if they like your review so much then why not just hire you. Hell I don't even think a simple shout out to your video would be better because it'd just shed light on them having an employee with no review skills. Hope this gets resolved in your favor, man
lol don't know why but this post just made me think of that South Park episode where they burn down something akin to a Walmart, all celebrate by going to some local store, it becomes larger and more successful, and then they burn it down for the same reason heh He's not a small UA-cam anymore! :o
Publications do watch UA-cam Game Reviews & borrow stuff often. Happend to Me Years ago, sometimes it's flattering, but still feels annoying. Especially after You put in all that time editing and writing. Sorry this happend to You, but in hindsight you are going to get a lot of exposure from this. Your Deadcells Review is actually pretty good and the editing was Pro quality. Keep it up! - KW
Exposure may he good but this is downright just plagiarism no credit or anything and considering that IGN monetizes their videos mean they did make money off of it
Literally putting a video up about this. It's rendering now. Really sucks this happened. Filip was "one of us" at one point. Makes you really question any content he's ever made.
UltraViolence I like it because it sounds like someone who actually went and took time to play the game, someone who understands the game when they played.
His actual voice sounds like an emo kid or some crappy new Sonic The Hedgehog character. Boomstick sounds much classier, normal, and down to earth....and not cringey like the IGN reviewer.
This is as scummy as it gets, Industry goliath ripping content from the smaller content creators, Already had pre-decided that because the smaller creator doesn't get as much clicks it wouldn't matter and no one would notice, And he would shamelessly take credit for a pretty great synopsis of the game. Or so he thought.
Yungdaggerdick since I live in a country which was rulled by communist party for 40 years and totally destroyed the country I encourage you to go live in countries like Russia for a year or 2 to enjoy the lifestyle of a comunism corruption before posting your next level of stupidity.

DreamcastGuy Damn. We getting some big youtubers here. This dude might get a lot of attention in the next few days.
Moist Manatee yes bro 😁
Oh hey! It's the guy who comments on every video ever!
FrostyP what?lol
Pays !? FUCK THAT !!! They nned to publicly appologise to him. Either via an article or a video.
LMAO THEY FIRED HIM ABOUT AN HOUR AGO

Good quote, ima take it and make my own wich is sliiightly difference:
‘Imitation is the most insincere form of flattery’
Phillip has been fired. I'm not sure if the review has been taken down, but there you go
Edit: It was taken down
thanks fred
It was taken down before he was fired.
They made a second review on it
How does he get work now? I mean, who hires a writer that has plagiarized someones work? No company would want to take the risk of getting sued in the future because of him.
He starts small I guess, it'll definitely take a long time before he starts getting more worthwhile jobs again.
Tbh he would of gotten away with this if he didn't literally start copying word for word in the middle there , the beginning was pretty different and then he went , oh no , I gotta get the review done by tomorrow gotta go fast .
Right, at least re order the sequence. How lazy can you be.
I dunno... the beginning was pretty fishy too though the middle-end pretty much nailed it. That last line, all my god. Is he still denying all this?
the beginning wasnt fishy, and setting that precedent is scary lol. it was pretty different.
It's not as word for word as the later lines but the content is still very much the same.
Then you progress to find out the guy didn't even bother to do that much
@@Agbahizzal Exactly every point was similarly timed
"Can we *copystrike* IGN?"
Like, right now?
He called us twitch thot's!
Don't you mean IGN thots?
I did not, but thanks for ruining it.
*Clap clap* Whoosh review *clap clap*
The entire video is structured the same how do you get that on accident never mind the obvious sentence copying
if you notice the reviewer most likely never even played the game "doors that will open after a certain amount of time have elapsed" or you know the opposite of that entire sentence
7.8/10. Not enough plagiarism.

Plagerism is great advertisement...ign viewers should just all sub to you
Exactly!
That's actually kinda true. Remember Drake and xxxtentacion?
Plagiarism, Plagiarism Everywhere.
Plagiarism should be a capital offense punishable by firing squad.

I've had some of the big boys steal my work in the past, It's sad that they don't think you're good enough to hire, but good enough to steal from.
Did you ever get any response from IGN? I see the story is in the industry press now like MCV.
Larry Bundy Jr 💯
ello you
what happened in your case ?
Winner of the Channel Awesome Hunger Games!
Is because the big boys as you call them don't hire, they just want to do their job as quick as they can. You can use the case in your curriculum and try to find their bosses.
How did 1.9k people dislike this video? What the hell is the matter with you people?!
Some like 30 are probably just for the lols a coulple others might think boomstick is the plagirizer the rest dunno
Also look at the publish dates you IGN fanboys and girls. Good day.

He is not insignificant but he is not also a huge youtuber.
Sooo maybe the thought he could get away with it.
You took his job and I applaud you for it. Plagiarism is horrendous.
He lost his own job.
taking joy in peoples pain is a great way to find yourself on the path to Shura
Share this widely. This poor journalism and lack of effort is unacceptable, especially for a large company like IGN.
It's not IGN, it's an independant contractor.
Almost impossible for IGN to know that Filip Miucin copied his video beforehand
Shenmue actually he's their Head Nintendo editor...😔
Is he an employee? He's most likely working remote
IGN probably gives titles like this, but I'm pretty sure most of the staff are contractors
Shenmue no he works at the IGN offices, he's on camera and hosts NVC their weekly nintendo podcast...he replaced Jose Otero who I actually really liked. I never quite liked Filip and found him kind of vapid...Even on the podcasts he mostly just repeats what his cohosts say or have said.
Ho, ok. Fuck IGN then
dude wtf were they thinking? 😂
they took the vid down... btw nice review 👍
they took it down XD THAT says everything
lol that guy is so fired
Not enough. I would sue them
Dude can I copy your homework?
Yeah just change it up a bit so they don't think you copied me....
I told you to change it a bit???

exactly, that's why you don't let people copy you, it's so damn stupid to do that anyway
Yeah you just copied that comment too
Saul Munoz I think that was my favorite use of that meme

This makes me wonder how many other small youtubers got screwed over that either dont know it yet or no one is hearing their voice.

No Battle Frontier 6.5/10.

What? They would give something like this a 6 obviously, unless the video game developer can shuck $100,000 then ts 7-10.
*At least for new IGN*
great game, 2/10
6.5 too much plagiarism 🤣
My favorite part is where the reviewer quotes the speed doors and completely messes up how they work
"Almost every level has a door that will unlock after a certain amount of time elapses." He obviously didn't play the game
Or when people play "the extended play sessions"

He even plagiarized his CV

Twist: Boomstick Gaming used a bot to inflate his subscription numbers!
(^_^)
Boomstick said he just want a mention so i think he got exactly what he asked.
*Gotta love when youtube channels with millions of subs copy those with less than 15K*
But in all seriousness I did leave something about this in the IGN subreddit, while I doubt IGN themselves will acknowledge it, we can atleast get more people aware.
ericpschoon Thank you
ericpschoon they copy from much lesser known people because that way they are less likely to get caught.
Keirnoth Holy crap I didn't think I'd find you here lol I loved your old PSO vids

He should.
The Many unusual Faces Of Amy Slaton Flilip was indeed fire (The Ign reviewer)
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games then he would have to quit this channel like flip had too
You're not too bright, are ya. It'd be a huge pay downgrade for him.

It was trending on Twitter
AZIZ yup fam
Do you have a link for that? I couldn't find it.
ign should employ boomstick to replace him lol
Simple solution - tell them they have two choices:
1) They issue a formal apology, put your video on their website, pay you a freelancer fee, and give you all ad revenue created by that review and webpage.
2) They can see you in court for copyright infringement.
If they go with option 2, document the entire experience here on UA-cam and offer interviews to any of IGN's competitors. Either way, your channel grows and you get money.
Congrats, you just won the UA-cam lottery!
*Good... Good...*
Yes! IGN are an embarrassment. Not only do they do shit like this, but they give out the most pathetic reviews based on whether or not they were paid to do them.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You, sir, are a genius! :)
damn! go take all the money!
This!! So much this!! Let them pay for their mistake.
Journilist: I wonder what will happen if I steal this review.
**Gets fired**
*Pikachu Face*
This is no coincidence, this is downright copy and paste!!
You're stupid. Copy and paste my ass. He still changed the words, so it's not copying.
oh you don't dare defend this dick of a "journalist", he changed it but fucking copied it almost word by word.
Fragmented game journalists will always be fucking cancer. Bunch of lowlifes. UA-camrs like this guy does the work and those cunts just steal it.
Cobalt Fun fact, it's still plagiarism if you change some words here and there. No it's not a direct copy and paste but it's still stealing someone else's work. Next time, pay attention in school
It's not copy and paste. his words are different. what is "copy and paste" is the structure. it hits the same points at the same times in the same order.
is that plagiarism? not really... having the same "ideas" as someone else in a review isn't uncommon and isn't something that could stand in court, after all how can you PROVE it wasn't just coincidence, and like i said it isn't a complete rip of his work, it is certainly similar in allot of ways.
is it scummy as hell? fuck your ass it is.
what i think happened was this
1. reviewer held off writing the review
2. higher ups said "hey we need this by like tomorrow"
3. reviewer freaked
4. "youtube.com"
5. finds review on small channel
6. "fuck it"
7. changes some words, keeps structure
7. ????????
8. profit
Got you brother. Video going up about the situation on my channel soon!

RGT, can you stop feeding on someone elses problems? Shit like this is what makes you lose subs. You used to be a good channel, now you're just Wood 2.
RGT 85, I used to love your channel, but it’s become just clickbait leeching off of others with no actual content or originality. Thought you’d leech a video off of this and lo and behold, you’re in the comments section, promoting your channel.

mazrimalthor No. I don’t think he’s fucked anyone ever, but he’s clearly promoting his channel on here which comes of as a scummy weasel move to me.

Deja Vu.... it's like seeing one cat and then another exactly identical.

I'm assuming the reason for the copy is because you're easy pickens for them being a smaller channel. Glad to see that Reddit (where i found this) put you on the front page. Hopefully IGN responds and if they like your review so much then why not just hire you. Hell I don't even think a simple shout out to your video would be better because it'd just shed light on them having an employee with no review skills. Hope this gets resolved in your favor, man
On a positive note, this channel has had a huge increase in sub count. Here's to supporting the little guys! *subbed*
Yeah this was reccomended for some reason but is a good enough meme for me to watch and sub
Mike Custer I clicked on this one lol counts
lol don't know why but this post just made me think of that South Park episode where they burn down something akin to a Walmart, all celebrate by going to some local store, it becomes larger and more successful, and then they burn it down for the same reason heh

2:32 - "Alright stellar writing Philip"
Goodbye sides.
Publications do watch UA-cam Game Reviews & borrow stuff often. Happend to Me Years ago, sometimes it's flattering, but still feels annoying. Especially after You put in all that time editing and writing. Sorry this happend to You, but in hindsight you are going to get a lot of exposure from this. Your Deadcells Review is actually pretty good and the editing was Pro quality. Keep it up! - KW
kNIGHTWING01 I remember the content you make
Exposure may he good but this is downright just plagiarism no credit or anything and considering that IGN monetizes their videos mean they did make money off of it
kNIGHTWING01 kwing you the best
kNIGHTWING01 it does make you wonder the amount of times they have done this.
Mildly Amusing Channel no, but it's free advertising for his channel which is good.

Literally putting a video up about this. It's rendering now. Really sucks this happened. Filip was "one of us" at one point. Makes you really question any content he's ever made.
Literally piggybacking on your drama. It's rendering now.
I'm waiting for Nintendo Prime to finish putting up their video so that I can copy it and then upload it as my own work over on IGN.
This is so frustrating, good on you for maintaining composure
On the plus side. I just discovered this awesome channel.
Rage Heat how bout it
That's what I thought, too. Thanks, IGN! ^^
I hate the corny perfect voice of the IGN video. Yours is much more real. Listening to you seems more valuable to me and more comfortable as well.
UltraViolence I like it because it sounds like someone who actually went and took time to play the game, someone who understands the game when they played.
The other one sounds like an edgy character in a Disney tv-show
His actual voice sounds like an emo kid or some crappy new Sonic The Hedgehog character. Boomstick sounds much classier, normal, and down to earth....and not cringey like the IGN reviewer.
The other dude voice was better
Sounds like a douchey fratboy to me.
This is as scummy as it gets, Industry goliath ripping content from the smaller content creators, Already had pre-decided that because the smaller creator doesn't get as much clicks it wouldn't matter and no one would notice, And he would shamelessly take credit for a pretty great synopsis of the game. Or so he thought.
fabioproductions It was more industry Goliath hires small creator and then small creator plagiarized another small creator.
makes you wonder how many other times they got away with it.
Yungdaggerdick since I live in a country which was rulled by communist party for 40 years and totally destroyed the country I encourage you to go live in countries like Russia for a year or 2 to enjoy the lifestyle of a comunism corruption before posting your next level of stupidity.
fabioproductions I do agree that this is wrong but it wasn’t just ign it was more importantly the “writer” at ign.
The writer got oofed anyway
This controversy actually helped me get to learn about Dead Cells
He deleted his “apology” video
His response video, you mean. It wasn't an apology, it was an "I'm the real victim here" video.
it was because the fucker monetised the apology vid..he was advised to take it down
sausagey man-fits you can demonitize without taking the whole vid down. He just straight up ran from the negative response his non-apology was getting.
shunnie shut the fuck up virgin neckbeard "normie"
Looks like Filip is done. And it looks like it is time he learns how to Filip burgers.
