    I'm shaking. I was too scared/defeated to speak up in self-defense. He lifted a substantial chunk of his "review" of our game from the text of the game itself. Further, he was factually innacurate about our core mechanic & game progression.https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1029751664566300674 …

    Filip Miucin apparently plagiarized not just from other gaming sites, but from Wikipedia, NeoGAF, and even his own colleagues at IGN. Even his Linkedin resume is copy-pasted from someplace else. What a mind-boggling story. https://kotaku.com/ign-pulls-ex-editors-posts-after-dozens-more-plagiarism-1828357792 … pic.twitter.com/YhkV1jPm7n

        His BS was damaging to everyone, but I want to specifically call attention to the point that it affects Devs too His laziness led to plagerism, but that also carries potential inaccuracies abt the games themselves. This is clearly extremely damaging for devs! #gamedev #indiedev

        Good on @IGN for firing him and esp for pulling his reviews But God it's not like there wasn't warning abt Micuin be now. IGN should have listened sooner & checked more closely. My company was damaged by his shit & what happened to us was comparatively minor!

        I can't imagine how his shit damaged content creators who's work was outright stollen + the number of devs who's games were covered innacurate + everyone—pubs, freelancers, employees, families—who are behind the media of this industry

        Like,j @IGN is MASSIVE. They. set. public. opinion. It's insane that their quality standards & fact-checking are so bad that they didn't catch this. Because this shit causes REAL damage to the LIVES of the people who actually do the work to make content in & around this medium.

        Fucking Thread. Thanks to @jasonschreier for breaking the news & calling attention to this. IDK if he was the first to break the news, but his article was the first I saw.

        Thank you it means a lot. They definitely were. I'll point out that my thread isn't meant to be a defense of InnerSpace. My game had problems, but I want to point to the larger impact IGN & his BS have on devs & creators as a whole. LOTS of people are impacted by lazy & bad info

        Crap dude... It *literally* was IGNs review that pushed me to hold off on Innerspace. Wouldn't have known that was his if you hadn't mentioned it. But you know what, Ef that. Time to see for myself. Sorry you were hurt by this. Here's my gosh dang money.pic.twitter.com/4dXJdPAaxx
