This in and of itself is different from the story that SPG put out, because SPG consistently talks of how David and Bunny are co-owners of the company, to the exclusion of Jon Sprague. In the message, it mentions the inconsistencies, discrepancies, and half-truths in the public explanation of Jon’s “being let go”, saying they await the full and truthful story from all the members of Steam Powered Giraffe, Chris, David and Jon, as well as from the other members under contract. I recommend you go and read it for yourself, therefore, but the skinny of it is: The post was marked in three places as “Please feel free to repost in its entirety on any social media platform”. ![]() (This is also linked in the “likes” section of this blog) The Sprague Family released a post, actually, that offers some more insight into that side, and why everyone would be so fired up: That’s why things look so homogenous on the tumblr fandom, I suppose– a lot of the dissenters got hate asks and such, so they took down their posts.īut the backlash against Jon’s firing seems to go deeper than just some people looking to stir up drama. So a lot of the posts are “URL not found” now. I’ll try to find them all for you and mark them with “likes” so you can find them easily, but it’s hard to– many of those who posted things like that got silenced, they were told they were spreading hate and drama, and to take what SPG said at face value, because why would they lie? if you do some digging of your own, you’ll find a few dozen more hinting at some underbelly problems. Turns out, this isn’t the only post like that. “My reason for leaving the band: The Jon got fired and Jon Sprague happens to be one of my best friends… It’s that simple.” ![]() Then, a person who used to fill in at SPG posted an ebay listing of their SPG jumpsuit for sale. They stated that, unless the person discounting what the Bennetts said was Jon himself, they wouldn’t listen, because no one else could possibly know what was going on. Many wandered where Jon’s voice was in all of this, and several Cavalcadians, tired of the drama llama, posted publicly that until Jon released a statement, they would believe what they’d heard so far (from the Bennetts) and not listen to rumor mongerers and dramaists (those whistleblowers leaving the fan base). Yet… the people leaving were doing so angrily and with a lot of fireworks not ndicative of mutuality at all. It was suggested in the official stuff that the breakup was mutual, the Jon agreed to it, that the band had been trying to fix things out for a couple of years. Some fans stayed behind a while, and a debate started over whether or not foul play had happened, and whether or not this was like what had happened with Erin Burke (Upgrade). Some long term fans (including their second-longest fan, and also the head of their fan base) from San Diego who had watched the bots since their starter days left the Cavlacadium within the next few days/weeks (one left immediately), hinting that they knew something others didn’t about the reason for the change in the band’s composition. The news elicited a range of responses from the fanbase from sadness to fear to wistfulness to hopefulness to derision to despair. So here’s what the public announcement was with regards to Jon’s departure:Īt first, the band– and by that, I mean the remaining members who had an internet presence– told the fan base that “Jon has been let go of Steam Powered Giraffe”, for reasons of time commitment problems and contribution problems. ![]()
