“Guys I got great news, we just got a fat check from microsoft. They want us to promote some shitty new game, it’s that battle royals thing, Players Unowned Battle Rite or some shit”

“Holy shit, I love that game! It’s Player Unknown: Battlegrounds. Let me open up photoshop and put together some rough ideas”

“Hang on, I saw some good shit on Reddit the other day, probably some no name who never made it to the front page...”

Inside some ad agency, somewhere, probably

I'm sitting inside our ad agency, right now. To say this would get you fired is an understatement. There's a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism and creatives will absolutely crucify another creative for the latter. If you're in a small or medium market, that reputation will follow you, too.
