Simon Lane

<p>SIMOOOOOOOOOONS BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!! </p>

<p>I feel like they are using his surgery as a way to make us forget he is gone. They have said he will be back "very soon" multiple times, but that was months ago. They never comment on his absence anymore; it's almost become like a taboo. Anyone who mentions it is greeted with "HE WILL BE BACK WHEN HE FEELS BETTER YOU UNSYMPATHETIC ****". I feel like we deserve an update, and if Simon is not returning, they should tell us in plain words that he is not returning. </p>

<p>For those of you who haven't seen it yet, take a look at these links below to get up-to-date on the situation: </p><p>The Tweets </p><p>Yogscast Reddit Discussion on the Topic </p><p>CynicalBrit Reddit Discussion on the Topic </p><p>So yea, TB and Simon are not on good terms anymore, although this has been evident not only between Simon and TB through their entirely opposite opinions on the whole #GamerGate issue, but Lewis and TB too back when the whole Assassin's Creed Unity Disclosure Thing happened with TB, Dan / Nerd3, Mattophobia (Dan's Community Manager), Hannah and Lewis... </p><p>The main issue I have with this is i'm predicting that one of the two parties is going to say something incredibly stupid about the situation on their channels which will cause a massive divide between the two audiences. As someone who is a consumer of almost all of the content that both TB and the Yogscast make, this is going to be a situation that I do not want to happen as it's going to cause me to massively dislike the party who said the stupid thing and I really don't want to do that. </p><p>Honestly, I'm with TB on this one. TB has always been a very vocal and opinionative person (as are SImon and Lewis) and uses that in his job when commenting on everything and anything to do with the gaming industry both on Twitter and on his channel, even if it means drawing a line between friendships and his job. Sure, TB has been commenting on a lot of the Yogscast's mistakes in the last year, sepcifically with YogDiscovery, YogVentures, the AssCreed Unity Disclosure thing and now this, but that's his job. </p><p>Meanwhile, The Yogscast acted back in a semi-aggresive manner. Lewis retaliated to TB's tweet about the Yogscast disclousre thing by saying this: </p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Well I know at least one "WTF is..." that was paid for and is still not disclosed today, when TB said his WTF series would never be paid for. I also met someone who worked for TB who told me: "you would be surprised what content TB is paid for."</span> </p><p>Now, maybe Lewis was misinformed or something like that but he cannot go and accuse TB of something like that without going into more detail and / or giving evidence on the fact. Without that, Lewis just seems as if he's being really dishonest, which I hope is not the case. </p><p>So what do you all think, is the Yogscast in the right here or is TB? I'm genuinely curious for your opinions so let me know. </p>
