Playtonic bryter samarbetet med Youtube-stjärnan JonTron

Flertalet större Youtube-profiler har hamnat i blåsväder den sista tiden, svenska Pewdiepie, Colin Moriarty och Jon "JonTron" Jafari är några av dessa. Den sistnämnda har, efter ett gäng kontroversiella uttalanden på Twitter, fått såpass stark kritik att skaparna av Yooka-Laylee nu valt att patcha bort hans roll i det kommande plattformsäventyret.

Utvecklarna hade följande att säga om saken i en intervju med gamesindustry.biz:

"JonTron is a talented video presenter who we were initially, two years ago, happy to include as a voice contributor in our game. However, in light of his recent personal viewpoints we have made the decision to remove JonTron's inclusion in the game via a forthcoming content update. We would like to make absolutely clear that we do not endorse or support JonTron's personal viewpoints and that, as an external fan contributor, he does not represent Playtonic in any capacity. Playtonic is a studio that celebrates diversity in all forms and strives to make games that everyone can enjoy. As such, we deeply regret any implied association that could make players feel anything but 100% comfortable in our game worlds, or distract from the incredible goodwill and love shown by our fans and Kickstarter backers."
