MineCON - the official Minecraft convention - was this past weekend, and Yogscast was present. Apparently they did not mesh well with Mojang.
Mojang is the company, led by Notch, who created Minecraft. Yogscast is the most popular youtube channel for many varieties of Minecraft content.

I'm very sorry about the behavior of the people we won't work with any more. Celebrity or not, you don't f-bomb kids.

Wow. Hate, insults and threats are flooding in from Yogscast fans. I'll stop biting my tongue now.
Yogscast repeatedly insulted people, talked behind their backs, refused to cooperate, and acted like total spoiled divas nonstop.
They called us "a bunch of nerds who don't know how to run a company", demanded that we pay them to come here (nobody else got paid).
And they claim they're the reason minecraft is big and that we should thank them more than anyone else in the community. They're total dicks
A kid wanted them to sign something I had signed, and they said they'd cross it out and put "fuck you" there instead.
Everyone else in the Minecraft community is all about respecting and caring. They're not. They're an isolated island of egos.
All this said, I'm very tired at the moment, and this will probably pass. I do like the work they do, very much.
