Yogscast go into hiding after Minecraft community backlash

Posted in minecraft

The Yogscast have gone into hiding after an embarrassing series of events at Minecon at the weekend. Including the attempt to write f you on a kids autograph and a series of unfunny backstabs at Notch.

If you're a Minecraft fan, you'll probably have heard that The Yogscast were totally out of order at Minecon. There were reports that they acted like spoilt kids and even attempted to write f you on a kids autograph in front of the parents. Minecon was supposed to be a family friendly event and the average age of a Minecraft player is about 13!

Notch has taken to twitter to inform his followers of his side of the story. He stated that:

• Yogscast wanted to write f you on a kids autograph
• Yogscast claim they are the reason for Minecrafts success
• Yogscast called Mojang a bunch of nerds

Now, have you seen the interview with Notch from Minecon? Those guys from Yogscast aren't a million miles away from nerds!! See below:

Well, since the public statement by Notch, Yogscast have taken their entire website offline to prevent a backlash. Their usually busy Twitter feed has gone silent and we're told that an official statement is at least 24 hours away.

This hasn't stopped a large number of Notch supporters coming out to voice their opinion on Twitter and YouTube.
