I'm sure most of us will remember the apology video from last year. It wasn't really an apology, and boy did he get some serious flak for it.

Whatever his reasons, perhaps genuine, perhaps financial, the apology he uploaded today is pretty clear and concise. He minces no words and does not shy away from the reality of what he did.

Gotta say, that takes a serious degree of courage and humility. Most people never take the first step towards bettering themselves. This guy is making an effort. Props

my bad wrong thread. this is correct one https://www.neogaf.com/threads/our-...-to-finally-apologise.1477678/#post-254061238

Good for him. I accept it.

I think contributing to a social environment that refuses to allow people to renounce and grow from from their mistakes is a mistake in itself. I won't be subscribing to his channel or anything, but not out of spite or holding a grudge.

 

[Halo is Back]

I can accept that apology. I believe in giving people second chances and redemption but he has to actually prove it now. I suspect he will still find it hard to get a job

 

[Inviusx]

He's still never going to get hired again, better off just doing his thing on YouTube and trying to earn an income that way.

 

[Outrunner]

Still think it's a "sorry I got caught" video, but ok.

 

[jonnyp]

He's a gigantic loser.

 

[LegendOfKage]

I forgive him and all, but if the You Tube thing doesn't work out, he could always get a job writing songs for Green Day.




Or maybe Dennis Leary needs a new comedy special. While I can't feel too sorry for him, the world really does have example after example of people getting away with this sort of thing.

 

[TLZ]

Well he apologized, no ifs no buts. That's all that matters. It is never an easy thing to do, especially in public like this.

 

[Petrae]

While I understand that genuine public apologies are humbling and difficult, this one doesn’t and won’t undo the damage to his reputation. He’s forever branded a plagiarist due to his own willful actions, and any outlet that makes the mistake of hiring him will have to deal with immense scrutiny.

Good on him for sacking up and taking this step to try and move on. Hopefully he finds work in a different career path.

We got a thread

Our favourite journalist fan decides to finally apologise

So for those of you who are not aware here is a tl;dr. Filip Miucin was a writer at IGN who had previously been a YouTuber. His review of Dead Cells however plagiarised from Boomstickgaming and IGN immediately terminated their conduct with him . Rather than owning up, he put out a monetised...

Eh fuck him. Apology or not.

Hope it was worth never working any sort of "journalism" job ever again.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I fully expect him to start posting new videos soon, he is simply clever enough to wait for the situation to cool down. A lot of people have calmed down and they will be more forgiving now. Sure it's nice he finally apologized, but he should leave the gaming industry for good at least when it comes to creating "original" content.

 

[angelic]

I ought to club him and eat his bones.

 

[nani17]

A year later hmmm maybe I'll watch his apology next year

I thought that was a thread merge that went wrong somehow. Then it hit me.
