Notch and Yogscast settle disputes

Graphic from "Inside Gaming Daily"

The Yogscast released their official statement last week about what occured at Minecon.

In the statement they said they were surprised at Markus "Notch" Persson's tweets.
"We are very disappointed by these tweets from someone we admire and respect. We can understand that it was the morning after the deadmau5 party and Notch was very tired, but we are still fairly upset," the statement said.

The Yogscast also denied a lot of allegations.
"Out of all the tweets that Notch sent out, most hurtful was the accusation that we told a kid to “f*** off” and crossed out another signature – which is something we would never ever do," the statement said.

It continued: "The quotes and actions that Notch attributed to us were not said by us or published anywhere by us. Therefore we are surprised and confused about where this stuff has come from - especially since the only time we spoke to Notch was at the interview."
But the Yogscast did admit to swearing at the show and using the F-word, but they pointed out that Mojang failed to give them instructions regarding that. They also said Mojang had sold rights to the Yogscast livestream without informing Yogscast.
The official statement ellicited an apology from Notch.
"It's likely the entire Yogscast scenario is just stress-related misunderstanding. I apologize for bringing it online before talking to them," Notch tweeted during Thanksgiving weekend.
The attacks on Notch from Yogscast fans gradually ceased. But to any that still came, Notch replied "I've already apologized."
Many fans support both Notch and Yogscast and were worried to see their relationship failing. Those fans are relieved to see them resolve their differences. But some fans wonder if Notch and the Yogscast staged the conflict as a publicity stunt.
Notch and the Yogscast were some of the first gamers to reach celebrity status. Game creators are not usually as well-known as the game they create. Since they have celebrity-status, it would not be surprising if this all was a publicity stunt.
