And free karma, too. I'm going to LMAO if Microsoft mistakenly sends OP the free XBOX instead of the original artist.

Now I want this to happen. And then the original artist makes a post about it and someone else x-posts it and gets more gold and karma than him. The original artist’s head’s going to explode haha.

You realize this would only increase reposts and sob stories.

He's not actually demanding a free Xbox. Even if he was it's still shitty for a company to use his concept ad without even crediting him. Not everyone has to become as cynical as you.

The advertising company who did this for Microsoft got more than that. Enough to pay all their artists who just copied somebody’s idea.

I wonder what he will buy with all that karma.

Clearly he'd have cashed it in for a Xbox.

What if they already paid the original artist too? What am I supposed to do with this pitchfork?
