Yogscast is currently feuding with Notch himself. Note: there is some harsh language in the context of the story.
As you can see, Notch is claiming quite a few bad things about the Yogscast crew. If these are true then there is no reason to go on supporting them.
However none of this can be confirmed so far. Several people have mentioned that Notch himself made some tasteless jokes. He is rather well known for making bad jokes.
We’re waiting on their official statement, but quite a few people who went to Minecon can confirm that Yogscast did indeed curse up a storm. They certainly did during their panel.
Here is the bottom line:
Yogscast will be making a statement when they are done with the trip. Notch will probably continue what he always does and use Twitter non-stop. However as of right now the entire feud is just a bunch of he said/she said.
The only things we have confirmed for sure are facts that we already know:
Notch loves to make terrible jokes.
Yogscast loves to curse whenever possible.
However we will be staying with this story. Hopefully some third party can come forward and confirm the things said about Yogscast. As far as Nerd Age goes we will give you an unbiased report until we can confirm some of the hard facts later on.
So far the only third parties speaking out about this are “Youtube Personalities” such as Minecraft Chick. They’re overall pointing out that Notch is hypocritical for getting onto someone for cursing. After all, these people are “Youtube Personalities” and you have to defend your own.
There is a report from someone claiming to be a staffer, but once again this was a Reddit post and cannot be confirmed. The post claimed that the Yogscasters were indeed jerks.
There is also a conflicting report that was put up after we first wrote this, saying they were not jerks.
Another update, here is finally something cement about how Yogscast acted at least some of the time:
Double update- The Yogscast statement:
And a written statement here: Reddit. They of course completely deny the most serious accusation of the kid who was told to “fuck off”. They They also said that many of the accusations were at least inaccurate. So there you have it.
Notch has Tweeted once again here. Of course what he seems to be apologizing for is that he said it over Twitter. Everything he said was true according to Notch. So at the end of all this we still can’t confirm if the infamous “fuck you” incident occurred. I suppose side with whoever you like more.
Mojang has released their official statement. It says that they found it hard to work with Yogscast, but they will be no longer talk about it publicly only to Yogscast themselves.
After the official Mojang statement, Notch apologized to Yogscast for being a dick.
Meanwhile the fans on each side are taking their own stances. Notch is receiving hatemail from the wonderful Yogscast fanbase. We’re sure Yogscast will have some hatemail of their own when this is over. Their viewer count is also fluctuating, but it’s unlikely they will even notice much of a hit.
