Pop quiz time: What do you do when get caught plagiarizing a YouTube channel's review of a certain game?
Do you?
a) Accept fading into temporary obscurity to reconsider your career options
b) Make a sincere apology video as part of a genuine effort to regain good graces with the general public
c) Make an insincere non-apology video while challenging others to find more evidence of your plagiarism

Well if you picked "c", then congratulations moron you just earned a nomination for Idiot Extraordinaire!

This travesty started out when someone noticed Filip Miucin, now ex-IGN editor because of this, plagiarized Boomstick Channel's review of a new game called Dead Cells:

As of writing this I can't do side-by-sides as a lot of Filip's videos have been removed (props to IGN btw, as no one really should be hosting plagiarism).

Filip's non-apology:

From the video:
QuoteYou can keep looking Kotaku, and please let me know if you find anything.

...and keep on looking Kotaku and others did!!!

A review of Fire Emblem Warriors:

Metroid - Samus Returns (here I can do side-by-side as Filip has this review on his own channel):

Original Review by Engadget

He even plagiarized his own resume!
