In the realm of video game creation, Midnight Society, the esteemed game developer, has parted ways with the renowned content creator known as Dr Disrespect, a moniker worn with pride by Guy Beahm. This decision comes in the wake of unsettling allegations surrounding a ban imposed upon Dr Disrespect by the streaming giant Twitch in the year 2020.
During that fateful year, Twitch made the controversial move to bar Dr Disrespect from its platform, a decision made shortly after the announcement of a lucrative partnership with the enigmatic figure. The reasons behind this ban were shrouded in mystery, with Twitch opting to remain silent on the matter. Despite this setback, Dr Disrespect continued to engage his audience via the avenues of YouTube in the subsequent years. However, on the 21st of June, a former employee of Twitch by the name of Cody Conners took to the digital stage to make damning claims. Through a post on the now rechristened X platform, Conners alleged that Dr Disrespect had run afoul with Twitch due to illicit activities involving minors within the confines of the platform’s chat feature, known as Twitch whispers. Responding to these charges with fervor, Beahm vehemently denied any wrongdoing, claiming that an investigation had been conducted which found no illegal actions on his part, and that he had been financially compensated for the ordeal.
The repercussions of these shocking accusations were keenly felt by Midnight Society, the very entity that bore witness to the genesis of a promising venture known as Deadrop, a free-to-play vertical extraction shooter of great ambition. Founded by Beahm alongside the esteemed individuals Robert Bowling and Quinn Delhoyo in the year 2021, Midnight Society stood at a crossroads as the storm of controversy raged around the enigmatic Dr Disrespect. In a public statement posted on the esteemed X platform, the studio revealed that they had taken heed of the allegations and, with a heavy heart, deemed it necessary to sever all ties with Beaham in light of the situation’s gravity.
No longer tethered to its embattled co-founder, Midnight Society now faces a future fraught with uncertainty as the shadow of scandal looms over the development of Deadrop. The fate of the game remains unknown, a question mark hanging precariously over the project. Meanwhile, the saga of Dr Disrespect and the allegations against him continues to unfold, casting a pall over the once bright landscape of video game creation.
