I'm glad he was fired. Plagiarism is serious business. It will get you kicked out of most Universities if your professor/dean decide to take it that far, and at the very least will get you a double F. I see no reason why ethics shouldn't be upheld in the real world too. There are many people out there who would write better quality and more accurate reviews for free than what has been produced of some professionals over the last few years.
Gamepro did the right thing but it still makes you wonder about the quality of their writing staff. How hard is it to play a Wiiware game for a few hours and write a descriptive and accurate synopsis without copying or paraphrasing? Its not like he was writing a 10 page review of a JRPG that took him 100 hours to beat.
