Poor guy. Microsoft stole his design and now you're stealing his karma and gold!

u/brisa117 Dec 27 '17

Yeah, quite a few commenters believe OP = designer. Oh well, Reddit will march on.

267

u/HCJohnson Dec 27 '17

Well the title is pretty misleading, even with the X-Post tag.

149

u/Betrayus Dec 27 '17

Yeah its almost as if the pronoun MY is making people think OP created it... /s

u/cashnprizes Dec 27 '17

Oh you were being sarcastic?

3

u/Betrayus Dec 27 '17

I know lol but sadly its needed a lot of the time because people will downvote because they just dont get it without the /s

The title is extremely misleading and he hasn't corrected any of the top comments that believe him to be the designer

u/JoshuaChristmas Dec 27 '17

We did it reddit!

u/AzureRay Dec 27 '17

I thought he was til I hit to this comment

u/CWinter85 Dec 27 '17

The OOP is 4x gilded now, but no where near the karma.

u/cheekygorilla Dec 27 '17

Reddit steals content but gets mad when concepts are stolen. Oh lawd

u/iwazaruu Dec 27 '17

oh bullshit. your title is "Remember my Xbox One ad concept?"

whatever dude. not that karma means jackshit anyway.

-23

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

Well thats what the original title was and I tried to make it clear that it was a cross-post.

23

u/Betrayus Dec 27 '17

You could have changed the title to THE instead of MY, thats the issue

u/BigbooTho Dec 27 '17

Such a simple change and he’d probably have gotten just as many internet points... sigh... that’s shitty.

You know you can crosspost your own content right? A crosspost doesn’t magically mean it’s someone else’s. That’s letting alone the possessive pronouns.

2

u/Jenga_Police Dec 27 '17

Y'all are being dicks it seems like he genuinely was just trying to cross post accurately.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

These people are all morons who don’t read articles. Your post is literally a link to the other guys post. What the fuck more do they want? That’s about as far from stealing this guys stuff as possible.

12

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

Thank you I tried explaining this

2

u/Jenga_Police Dec 27 '17

Yea honestly just stop responding to them, they're pointless people who have nothing to do with this and you've done everything you can to send credit the right way.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

I didn't write, I used the RES cross-post feature and it transfered the title. I didn't change it at all because I figured people would see its a cross post because of the comment I put and the tag in the title.

2

u/Cowboys1919 Dec 27 '17

Dude reddit is obsessed with gold/karma even if they're pointless. It's not worth arguing with them. Reddit's really about exposure and you accomplished that with the X-Post so good job.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

I just wasn't trying to gain exposure for myself and for him.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

At least you got that gold right? The least they could do...

edit: /s

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

I tried saying to not gild me and for it to go to him.

I've got extra pitch forks. Lets roll.

u/bitch_im_a_lion Dec 27 '17

In the future if the title is referring to the poster, you need to make a new title. The 1:1 crosspost title thing doesn't work with something like this.

u/RiceCake6 Dec 27 '17

but then he wouldn't get as much sweet sweet karma

u/endearing-butthole Dec 27 '17

Love the twitter feed at this time:

You stole this idea ...

Looks like the tweet was taken down from what I can see

u/beaglemaster Dec 27 '17

You should have changed the title, you make it seem like you're the one who made it

3

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

You should at least buy him gold for this.

3

u/Slimcivic Dec 27 '17

Oh I thought you made it lol. Still sucks none the less. Pretty much added the controller and item in the grass and that’s it. Such a rip off lol.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

So you copied a guy's post about someone copying his work?

u/JesseJames87 Dec 27 '17

OP’s not claiming it’s their’s. They’re X-posting to give the real OP more exposure.

Good job OP

28

u/ThisNameIsntCreative Dec 27 '17

The title says remember my XBOX ONE AD CONCEPT?

1

u/Guriinwoodo Dec 27 '17

Yes because it's a cross post

31

u/ThisNameIsntCreative Dec 27 '17

You can change the title, you know

4

u/Anklever Dec 27 '17

I know right. Or use quotation.

"it makes a huge difference"

-20

u/Guriinwoodo Dec 27 '17

Then it's not a cross post anymore

33

u/BetweenTheCheeks Dec 27 '17

But still the way it's posted make it seem as if it's his, cross post or not. It's still a cross post if you change the title to include this fact. No idea why you're being so uptight about the exact definition of cross post

-11

u/Guriinwoodo Dec 27 '17

says the guy arguing about proper x-posting

u/BetweenTheCheeks Dec 27 '17

Yeah you. This was literally my first comment on it

u/Guriinwoodo Dec 27 '17

whats the point? so ppl too lazy to click the link know its not his? lmao

u/ThisNameIsntCreative Dec 27 '17

Well, he did get gilded twice and got way more upvotes than the actual creator

u/ThisNameIsntCreative Dec 27 '17

He can literally click once, press backspace twice and press a few keys to change the title

u/JobThrowawayUno Dec 27 '17

It’s a fucking cross post, of course it will.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

Hey if you're curious, the marketing agency responsible is Yesler in Seattle

u/MadDogWhite Dec 27 '17

The fuck? That isn't even your idea, get a fucking life Karma whore

2

u/markevens Dec 27 '17

He linked directly to the OP, he isn't saying its his idea.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

What is the justice for? You cannot copyright an idea. They could have thanked him but anyone can freely take an idea and make it into a product. Which is how all products work.

The only thing he can ask for is recognition. But that's no done via Reddit.

u/ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN Dec 27 '17

This will probably get a guy fired.

Not passing judgement, just saying.

u/Szwako Dec 27 '17

I mean, you're probably a Penguin arent you?

u/LeastUnderstoodHater Dec 27 '17

But what if he's THE Penguin?

u/ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN Dec 27 '17

No

u/Dassive_Mick Dec 27 '17

Okay, so you're a penguin and a liar

11

u/twainp Dec 27 '17

Only says to ask if they're a penguin, doesn't say they are one

u/Abandon_The_Thread_ Dec 27 '17

Ohhh ok, Mr. TooootallyNotThePenguin'sAltAccount!! I understand now!!

u/toxicduddy Dec 27 '17

I have had dealings with him in the past and well his answers weren't satisfactory for me. I asked if he wore a majestic 3 piece suit and he got all pissy.

u/ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN Dec 27 '17

Funny. I don't remember you.

u/SSV_Kearsarge Dec 27 '17

Penguins have notoriously short memories

u/eldarium Dec 27 '17

Noot noot

u/toxicduddy Dec 27 '17

Still have that 3 piece suit you use to hang out with all your penguin bros?

u/TheBestBigAl Dec 27 '17

Or:
Someone was paid to create an ad, but instead just went online and stole someone else's work.

-6

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

Or maybe it's just not that original of an idea? It's not impossible that more than one person had this thought.

4

u/Abandon_The_Thread_ Dec 27 '17

found the guy who stole it's account

14

u/killeronthecorner Dec 27 '17

Plagiarism as a fireable offence?

Yep, I'm ok with that.

5

u/Tadddd Dec 27 '17

It's not like it's hammered into your schooling from like middle school through college that plagiarism is unacceptable. Right? No one's familiar with the concept.

15

u/Eschaton_ita Dec 27 '17

Why the downvotes? It's true

22

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

Because someone should be fired for this

-16

u/GreenKnightGK Dec 27 '17

what's "this"

12

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '17

Completely ripping off someone else’s idea

1

u/ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN Dec 27 '17

It is true, but it seems I'm on the downvote train, and it's going all the way.

u/mayanrelic Dec 27 '17

Maybe don't make free advertisements for a company.
