Yikes. I've been a fan of NVC for a long while, and it seemed Filip had finally settled into the whole livestream hosting/reviewing shindig. Apart from this debacle, he appeared to be doing a good job. After this, I think Filip's toast. IGN will have to fire him.
I watched the IGN review first before it was taken down, then saw Boomstick's comparison, and yeah there's no mistaking that plagiarism took place.
I think it's particularly bad because IGN gave Dead Cells such a high score. A review so close to 10 should have gained a lot more scrutiny than most reviews - so it says something bad about IGN's broader journalistic practice. I think the case here is just that the reviewer got lazy and/or overwhelmed and didn't have a fully written review done in time. It's a shame because I think someone else at IGN could have easily filled in to write a great review if Filip was just too busy.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
