#fanfic. and was NOT edited enough to remove the blatant plagiarism that comes with trying to publish literal fanfic lol

[northern-passage]

this video is wild. even if you don’t want to watch the entire thing, the conclusion is really good and really highlights some of the issues faced in game preservation and the failure to recognize contributions and properly credit artists that work on these games.

#this video is fun he really spirals after the first section #but im certain there are plenty of people like tommy tallarico out there that just arent as stupidly vocal as him #and the way tiktok uses sound effects or uncredited clips as well as games like fortnite stealing dances #so it's not just singular people but also entire companies and corporations that do this kind of shit #idk this is kind of gaming related so. here you go #i know it's like 2hrs but it is really interesting and again even if u just skip to the conclusion he makes some interesting points #basically this guy tommy tallarico is trying to claim he created the roblox oof sound #but he didnt. lol. and then he finds out that this guy has lied about a whole bunch of other gaming shit #and steals credit from a lot of artists along the way #and is just. A Liar and a weirdo #but again i think there are definitely far more tommy tallaricos out there particularly in the gaming industry #where crediting has always been..... questionable at best #and especially lately i feel. there has been a huge uptick in plagiarism in indie games and even IF games #and in book publishing. watched a video the other day that was a review of a book that was literally just #fanfic. and was NOT edited enough to remove the blatant plagiarism that comes with trying to publish literal fanfic lol #i mean publishing fanfic has always been a Thing but it definitely feels like it's gotten far more blatant recently #and it feels that people just. don't care? especially again in indie spaces whether gaming or publishing #i mean there's a whole genre of indie horror games that are just 'asset flips' #that are usually made in a rush to profit off another game's success #and there's nothing wrong with using premade assets if you.... Credit them. but these games dont do that lol #and again are usually stealing the storyline of another more popular game #and again. publishing fanfic... liike...... it's questionable and can easily just become plagiarism #anyways. just something to think about i guess ! if nothing else the video is funney #video #personal
