Notch Vs Yogscast

[Neversoft]

Don't blame Notch for that, blame the people who moderate the actual forums.

Yes, that's what I did. Hence why I said "Shows who the decent people really are in all this." Perhaps that would have been better situated in my third paragraph. I apologise.

No he shouldn't.

Why is that? Because of what he said, the Yogscast website was taken down and Simon, Lewis and Hannah were subject to hate and abuse, both in real life and on the internet. Notch's words caused all this, so he should take responsibility. Anyone can see that.

They got thanks throughout Minecon.

Not from Notch. The only time they saw him was during the interview.

Notch got abuse also when he said it was yogscast. So really, both got abuse and due to the people in this world people will just throw hate and insults towards anyone without actually thinking. None of them should of got abuse at all. Let's just put the whole thing behind us like they would want.

Their mod spotlights and all that are alright, but where they excel is their adventure series. It does start as a normal playthrough, but then it gets into the main story which they have no control over. The whole world and situations are built around them, with their 'crew' literally only telling Simon and Lewis where to go and where not too. It's more about their reactions and their general conversation along the way, and less about watching two guys play Minecraft.
I knew they were in the right, there's no way any of them would tell a kid to **** off or act like *********. I'm glad they responsed so maturely when Notch was so quick to act like a child throwing his toys out of his pram. Well played by them I say

I have to say, after watching the one based on Portal it was quite funny

They're interesting individuals, but I'm not entirely bought by the idea they "made Minecraft what it is today", as some have mentioned.

I'm all for putting it behind us, but you're completely missing my point. If Notch hadn't said anything in the first place, no one would be subject to abuse. It is clearly Notch's fault and for that he deserves what he got, unlike the Yogscast who were completely innocent in this. But what's done is done.

This would happen between any one who has a large amount of people who are classed as "fans". But both parties are good people, regardless of what went on.

Oh, wait. Notch still thinks they swore at kids. This guy is so frickin' stubborn.

Err, did they not admit this?

"Regarding dropping f-bombs at the show - we apologise for this, but had rehearsed the whole show in front of the organisers and half of Mojang and they had approved it. We were given no guidelines or oversight in the weeks leading up to Minecon and there were ample opportunities at the rehearsal for Mojang to inform us of problems, such as being careful about swearing, which is pretty common in our youtube videos."

I think we're all being a bit too wound up by all this. At the end of the day, Notch and Mojang made Minecraft and Yogscast would be no where without them. I think resorting to calling Notch a ******* is a bit too much. As Matt said, "**** happens and move along". They admitted to swearing in their side of the story, which you posted

That's referring to a pre-recorded video they showed during the panel. The guys never swore while up on stage, let alone at children.
