I understood him and I agree with everything he said.

I don't remember this part...

Current Yogscast Vs. Notch thing: Both are being silly from what I've seen. Notch oversensitive, Yogscast because I don't really find British humor (which is apparently what the whole spat is about) funny.

I can see why you might be disappointed, but I can't say I agree. Minecraft was a hit by luck, he was just exploring a fun idea of his. You can't shove money into a machine and get a really neat innovative idea sadly, he's no more or less creative than before he got his money.

i read it / notch said it himself ages ago, something about taking a game and just building upon which lead to minecraft can't remember where sadly, could always check his tumblr / twitter / Wiki page.
And isn't it unfair to say yogscast is silly? i mean most of what been said is just from notch. And the yogscast only recently just got back and it's 11:42PM (22:42) here. i expect a statement or something/ Their side of the story later early tomorrow.

Also yes, i understand perfectly what i typed lizard, if you don't well i can't do much about it. it your problem.

If you live in England and are an English speaker, why can't you create readable posts? Jeez, dude.


Knowing how well Yogscast and Notch are together, I think it might just be a joke. Hopefully. If it isn't then that's something they should discuss in private, not something Notch should post on his Twitter for all the world to see. Both sides are getting too much hate for no reason just because Notch is being immature. Shame on him.

♥♥♥♥ Yogcast. Seriously.

Yogcast aren't what everone thinks they are bunch of A** H*** in my personally option but that may of change because that was when minecraft was in 1.3 beta.

You're thinking of the fact that he was inspired by Infiniminer. Infiniminer is still around, but Notch made Minecraft's code entirely different from it. So I suppose in a sense you could say he built upon Infiniminer but it's a loose relation, linked only by game concept.

True, and I'm reserving judgement upon the matter beyond what I've said so far until I can get a good account of what happened. JUST going from what Notch has said though (and assuming he wouldn't lie about the matter for no reason), I have formulated my initial opinion.

I don't see why, that twitter account is his personal account. He can say whatever he likes on there. It may reflect badly upon him, but thems the breaks.

I wouldn't say it's his personal account. It's one of his main sources of information, and he puts lots of things on there about the game.



The way Notch puts it, he's acting like they aren't the reason Minecraft is big. They are the largest distributor of all things Minecraft, informational or otherwise. To say that they weren't one of the big factors in its popularity is like saying the sky isn't blue. (Most of the time it is, at least. It was an example.)

That doesn't change the fact that it is his personal twitter. He didn't make it for Minecraft or Mojang, he made it for himself before either of those things.

He opened the account after he began making Minecraft, so no, it didn't come before it.

Upon looking, he did indeed temporally make the twitter profile before Minecraft (at least the date that's listed on the website) but I still contend it's not primarily for Minecraft. He puts a lot of other stuff beyond Minecraft PR (and quite a few personal opinions, so this stuff is nothing new as far as that).

Notch's account: http://twitter.com/#!/Notch

The official Mojang account: http://twitter.com/#!/mojangteam

Clearly two accounts. Notch can post whatever he wants on his. You can't go looking at Notch's twitter and say "this represents official positions from Mojang". Is he a major member? Yes. But the official voice is through, and ONLY through, Mojang on twitter. It'd be like saying that since I operate a twitter account while I work at Microsoft, my positions are the official, representative positions of the Microsoft team.

There is a Mojang account used on part of the company as a whole, and I knew that well before I posted what I did. The thing is, the Mojang account is very seldom used, and much, much more game-involved information comes from Notch's twitter.

I love how Notch, instead of informing us about future updates to Minecraft, invented a new system of length.

A very respected man, but this spat is ridonkulous.

I enjoy watching the Yogscast videos, but they are ignorant ♥♥♥holes.

Its quite obvious, but Simon, I'm not so sure, I know Lewis is a ♥♥♥♥ face.

I am undecided on which side to choose.

I'll wait to take Notch's side until after the Yogscast give their side.
