Great, I hope we reach the point where views like JonTrons just get exiled from gaming. They have no place no matter how much "free speech" meandering a certain crowd does.

hidys · Mar 23, 2017

The right decision has been made here.

Opa-Pa · Mar 23, 2017

Thank god, huge props to Playtonic.

Back to day 1 it is!

A Link to the Past · Mar 23, 2017

I wasn't buying at launch

Now I am

:clap:

wiibomb · Mar 23, 2017

nice move from playtonic, I believe Jon needs to be called out for what he said, and PLaytonic actually took action

Dunkey is friends with Jon Tron so this won't happen

Friends don't always share political viewpoints. Why paint with such a broad brush?

HStallion · Mar 23, 2017

They should replace his voice acting with that of an immigrant from one of the place's Jons got a problem with just to spite him.

Murkas · Mar 23, 2017

BUT HIS FREE SPEECH!

Replace with Dunkey, plz?

At this point I wouldn't risk it, assume all youtubers are scum, safer that way.

SinCityAssassin · Mar 23, 2017

Dunkey can revoice an NPC in less than a month right? Sure he can.

Tregard · Mar 23, 2017

Good folks at Playtonic, glad we can put this to bed and focus on what a cracking game Yooka Laylee looks like again

Salmonax · Mar 23, 2017

This is great news. Good for Playtonic.

CannonFodder52 · Mar 23, 2017

What a beautiful world.

idonteven · Mar 23, 2017

Camjo-Z · Mar 23, 2017

Ah, now all conflicts of interest are eliminated. Let the Yooka-Laylee hype resume!

magawolaz · Mar 23, 2017

PixelatedBookake · Mar 23, 2017

Yes! I'm glad he's getting punished for his bullshit. It almost felt like he was getting away scot free.

Sushigod7 · Mar 23, 2017

Wow that is amazing news good for them.

excelsiorlef · Mar 23, 2017

Excellent news

Well there it is, I am officially old. I had no idea what any of the three things in the thread title were. After reading the OP this seems like a good thing though, so that's good.

old people would be the ones that'd care about yooka-laylee the most though

Fireblend · Mar 23, 2017

Good move from Playtonic. Now give me a Switch release date

Makki · Mar 23, 2017

Cue in unapologetic video saying he's beeing targeted because of beliefs

TangerineCloud · Mar 23, 2017

Bye, bitch

hamsjams · Mar 23, 2017

I support this decision by Playtonic and hope very much to support Playtonic monetarily in the near future.

Silvawuff · Mar 23, 2017

Savage justice.

Good for Playtonic! This was a smart business move for them.

Damn Silly · Mar 23, 2017

Good move by Playtonic.

Right? Now I went from "Guess I'm not getting it" to "I hope the Switch version isn't a crappy port".

JonnyDBrit · Mar 23, 2017

Honestly if they were to replace his lines with anybody, I'd want it to be PeanutButterGamer. There's no love lost between him and Jon these days.

OfficerRaichu15 · Mar 23, 2017

I used to like Jon but learning his views then I'm glad they got rid of his voice acting in the game.

MrHoot · Mar 23, 2017

i'm imagining some twitter rants against "the media", sjw and virtue signallers are coming very soon.

Ironically they will probably lose more sales from now angry centrist and alt righters, so kudos to them

Well, there it is.

Good thing they did that.

Akronis · Mar 23, 2017

For all of you saying replace him with Dunkey, isn't Dunkey friends with Jon? Has Dunkey said or done anything that indicates he doesn't share the same garbage viewpoints?

After all of this shit, I really can't trust any gaming-focused YouTuber to be a decent human being...

Makonero · Mar 23, 2017

Smart going, Playtonic.

Kouichi · Mar 23, 2017

Good work, Playtonic.

Scientist Supreme! · Mar 23, 2017

Good shit.
There should be no place in this industry/community for people like Jon.

He will blame everyone but himself.

- J - D - · Mar 23, 2017

Good riddance.

iavi · Mar 23, 2017

And now it's back on my radar.

Thank you Playtonic.

As a black dude, I'm not supporting anything featuring John "gene pool" Jafari. It doesn't matter if it's a lead role, or five minutes of gibberish

NOLA_Gaffer · Mar 23, 2017

Who is "Dunkey"?

10k · Mar 23, 2017

Well done.

NoKisum · Mar 23, 2017

While I am 100% for this decision, isn't the game really close to release? Do they have time to re-record? Couldn't they have pulled a Destiny and patch out his voice with someone else in an update?

iRAWRasaurus · Mar 23, 2017

Get fucked and good riddance!

Council Pop · Mar 23, 2017

Wow, good on Playtonic! Just a shame that they have to deal with the fact that one of their voice actors turned out to be a Nazi. I guess they probably don't have to replace much dialogue/gibberish, shame they can't bill JonTron for the time though.

Octavianus · Mar 23, 2017

Good on them.

That's what they're doing

CHC · Mar 23, 2017

Good for them, guy's a fucking ass licker.

Kilau · Mar 23, 2017

Didn't even know this clown was in the game before now. Good riddance.

PSqueak · Mar 23, 2017

Good! now i don't have to defend buying the game despite him being in it.
