Hip Hop Gamer plagiarizes an entire article from Gamesindustry.biz

Reader-submitted content below Minor formating changes have been made from the original submitted text.

Compare this HipHopGamer article to this article from GamesIndustry.biz.

There’s rewording an article and giving an opinion, and then there’s literally copying and pasting it. (Blimey, there’s a lot of plagiarism happening at the moment. I’m sure HipHopGamer will justify it by saying that they’ve linked to the original source so no harm done. Which, as we all know, is bollocks. - Ed.)
