Notch: Yogscast are "total dicks"

Following his statement earlier that Mojang would no longer be working with the Yogscast because they'd sworn in front of children during their Minecon panel, Markus "Notch" Persson has posted a litany of grievances against the YouTube-based video group.

"Wow. Hate, insults and threats are flooding in from Yogscast fans. I'll stop biting my tongue now," he said in his first tweet, before listing the following:

• "Yogscast repeatedly insulted people, talked behind their backs, refused to cooperate, and acted like total spoiled divas nonstop." (link)

• "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)." (link)

• "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" (link)

• "A kid wanted them to sign something I had signed, and they said they'd cross it out and put "fuck you" there instead." (link)

• "Everyone else in the Minecraft community is all about respecting and caring. They're not. They're an isolated island of egos." (link)

His last tweet said, "All this said, I'm very tired at the moment, and this will probably pass. I do like the work they do, very much."

In response, Lewis Brindley of the Yogscast said on its Facebook page, "We are about to embark on a 24 hour journey home so will officially respond when back in the UK".
