PlaytonicPlaytonic, the independent developer behind upcoming platformer and Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor Yooka-Laylee, has dropped popular YouTuber JonTron, aka Jon Jafari, from the game's voice-acting cast. “We recently became aware of comments made by voice artist JonTron after development on Yooka-Laylee had been completed,” developer Playtonic told GamesIndustry.biz in a statement. — Jon Jafari (@JonTronShow) March 23, 2017Jafari has also released a statement clarifying his remarks during the debate with Bonnell. If they see Jafari's involvement in the game as a threat to Yooka-Laylee or to the business, cutting that tie makes sense. It's well within the company's right to work with whomever the choose, and to not work with someone whose views they find distasteful.
