Wow!
he got fired over one line. I hope they can sleep soundly at night |
It was actually several lines, but only three (I missed one the first time, will bold now) were copy-pasted directly from IGN's review. Remember, plagiarism is more than simply copy-pasting. Moreover, the fact that a supposed professional is plagiarizing even one line is a huge ethical no-no. Remember the Stephen Ambrose bru-haha a few years back over a single paragraph in a 300 page+ book?

Actually, in the case of Ambrose, it turned out he was a serial plagiarizer with at least a half-dozen of his books cited as containing material from works not his own (even dating back to his bloody doctoral thesis!).

Huh, never knew: I thought that paragraph was the full extent of it.
