A YouTube commentator I watch once uploaded a video called WTF Is Darkspore. He gave the video that title because the Darkspore beta had randomly appeared in his steam account and he didn't know WTF it was.
TotalBiscuit (a Yogscast member) has a video series he does called WTF is (video game name), where he introduces new video games. TotalBiscuit threatened to sue the YouTube commentator because the title WTF Is Darkspore is similar to the titles of his videos. This makes no sense though, as you cannot have a copyright on a common human saying such as "WTF is".
Clearly at least one of the Yogscast members does have an ego problem, and what Notch is saying does seem reasonable.

FYI. . . Total Biscuit isnt a yogcast member... He is a very well known and respected games commentator
The Yogscasts and TB are acquaintances because they are both youtube games commentator
TB i believe also has the right to do that since he is a YouTube partner and makes money out of the show series he publishes in Youtube.
TB's WTF show started on Sept 14, 2010 and is right now on his 10th season.
I feel I've lost a lot of respect for Notch, and I happen to have defended him a lot in the past.
It's just not professional behaviour to have a hissyfit in a public forum like that. If there were issues, these issues should have dealt with in private. This was belittling and childish, and I didn't want to know about what should have stayed private and personal issues. We're not in Gossip Girl, I don't want to hear about the arguments or behaviour of people I admire (which happened to be both parties).
Just seems so... ridiculously childish. If he had issue with their behaviour, he should have brought it up with the guys and not with the rest of the world. For all I know, they did everything he said they did, and yet I feel tweeting about it like a fourteen-year-old lost me more respect than what happened at Minecon.
Ugh, poorly played, Notch. -1 gold star.
Yeah, but what can you expect from a man who, jokingly or not, publicly challenges Bethesda to a game of Quake 3 to settle a legal issue and then goes on about how they turned it down. You just know some of his fans saw that the suit continued and his "reasonable" offer to settle things was turned down as "Bethesda is being unreasonable" bit.
Then we have that email from a user who emailed him about stealing mods that he publicly belittled. I admit the guy who emailed him dit it all wrong and it came more out like just hate mail but honestly that should have never happened.
Then we have this incident.
The man has diarrhea of the mouth. I'm honestly surprised Mojang hasn't as a company either 1) Put a muzzle on him (every company I've ever worked for has made it clear that if you have a blog / etc you make it VERY clear your opinions do not reflect your employer.) 2) Very quickly and very clearly distanced themselves from this and made it apparent to the community that Notch's opinions do not necessarily reflect their own. 3) BOTH
He's demonstrated that he doesn't think before he speaks and you can't have that of someone who is more or less iconic to your business. It's really bad and can bring legal suits down around your ears. (Look up libel some day, this whole mess is dangerously close to that). He really should be managed by a PR person/firm.
The most that should have been heard from this would be at the next Minecon when people would be asking "Hey, why no Yogscast?". And then the official response should have been something like "We have decided to no longer work with them." That should have been the response from Yogscast as well.

But, welcome to 2011.
Where is number 3?! But I'd assume that because Notch is one of the heads of Mojang(if I'm not wrong), he probably thinks he has the power to express his own opinions. After all, what can you expect from an indie company of less than 10 staff?(Not too sure)

#3 is Muzzle him and distance themselves from him; that's why it simply says 3) BOTH
Ugh, Notch is such an Emo sometimes.
And after all those "Your mother" jokes he should be the one to stay quite.
So let's just enjoy watching Yogscast and play Minecraft.
Personally? I don't like Notch one bit and there are alot of reasons for that, but I like the game he made.
Same with Yogscast, they may be a bit mean sometimes but it's mostly as a joke, I can't imagine Simon or Lewis acting like a total ass for no reason.
So yeah, let's just ignore Notches twitter bitching and just go on with our lives.
Let's actually wait for what they have to say first.
I don't trust Notch on this one.
And if you really are a fan, you don't stop being one after some dude on Twitter says bad stuff about them.
I guess they are shocked after what Notch said about them (and it was reeeeaaaly unprofessional of him, he is not a 14yo anymore).
Notch makes Minecraft, yogscast becomes very popular playing minecraft, Minecraft becomes even more popular due to the Yogcast videos not to mention countless other on youtube doing exactly what Yogs does.
Well it was out for android for quite a while and it's still classic.
Wish that they just raised the price over time like they did with normal Minecraft, that would have been more fair because I want to buy it... but I know that I can just play around in Eden.
That is the best outcome we would want to see xD

As seen here in his WTF channel page
KEEP your facts straight before you spread false information in the forums
I do the lets plays
I'd hardly call it FULL VERSION!!!!!

Talking to pepole like that.
I'd be a good potato.

:sleep.gif:'' How do you know it actually happened? Did you hear their side yet? Nope.
Whats the problem? Oh yeah Ego's of rich people.
Wish that they just raised the price over time like they did with normal Minecraft, that would have been more fair because I want to buy it... but I know that I can just play around in Eden.
