Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

Haven't watched hbomberguys video all the way through yet but it's uncanny how much my experience with plagiarism is similar to his. I made a viral tweet about proper isometric block height about 10 years ago and some dude writing books in the gamedev sphere named TrueValhalla just reposted my tweet, with image, verbatim

When I called him out on it he just brushed it off and said "this isn't Wikipedia" so he didn't need to credit me. Then not long after he got in trouble for pilfering other people's artwork (without licensing or credit) to promote his new book, because the artist had a way bigger audience than i did back then. A bunch of other smaller stuff I can't remember also came to light

Guy was a serial plagiarist and supposedly a fucking author? Ridiculous. Last I checked he's still active and probably still stealing other people's work to promote himself

*googles* oh it looks like the latest news is he's moved on to scamming people in the web3 crypto games space

@eniko Oh, wow. I used to follow that guy until he dropped off my radar. Had no idea he was such a pos.

@eniko I've seen this so, so much in the modding world. It's really common for any hard work you do to get wrapped up in someone else's 'mod pack' with no or very vague attribution, so that someone else can claim the glory for *checks notes* copy and pasting files into a .zip. What's worse is that they then often refuse to update the mods in a timely manner so you end up performing hours of tech support for people using buggy versions of your mod. It sucks, a lot.

@eniko A quick search shows he appears to have vanished up his own arsehole, as confirmed by a lot of others. Karma happens. Fuck 'em.

@TomF shame it was for not delivering a shitty web3 game and not for consistently stealing other peoples work and presenting it as his own

@eniko People like that are simply not capable of knuckling down and shipping things.

@TomF @eniko I searched his name on Twitter and this thread came up with a lot more shady stuff he did:

@eniko sight

Plagiarism is a plague.
But those that copy → paste → remove the citation a post that was made less than 24h before are a species even worse

It doesn't even qualify for the 'excuses' of memory or digging through the web and literature

Picture of them 100 times a day

@eniko sorry to hear that, it seems there's people around - dudes - who seem to have absolutely zero shame. At the same time though... lol, they all end up in crypto, don't they? It's a magnet for scammers, liars and frauds.

@eniko@peoplemaking.games Not even sure if I see what on earth Wikipedia has got to do with this 😅 I'm pretty sure stealing is considered an issue outside of Wikipedia as well 🤔
I wonder if he'd use the same argument if he got caught shoplifting haha

I'm not at all surprised that that kind if guy got into web3, but didn't he get the memo? NFTs are dead AI is the new hotness. I am actually surprised that he's not using MidJourney and calling himself an artist though. Same type of person: lazy, entitled, and utterly narcissistic.

@eniko (god I’m so glad you took that in the good humor it was intended - unless your Favorite signified “marking YOU for later, sunshine”)
