Summary:
Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, has shut down and canceled its in-development game, Deadrop. This follows significant layoffs in September after the studio cut ties with Dr Disrespect in June due to inappropriate messages he exchanged with a minor. Ironically, shortly after the studio’s closure, YouTube reinstated Dr Disrespect’s monetization, citing a review of his recent activity and a warning against future violations. Midnight Society, founded in 2021, was developing Deadrop, a free-to-play extraction shooter initially funded by NFT sales. The studio stated they are trying to find other employment opportunities for their team.
He’s got the Midas touch, if Midas turned stuff to shit instead of gold
…and nothing of value was lost.
It’s always a shame when a game just disappears instead of sharing all that work.

I for one am quite disappointed we didn’t get to enjoy this dumpster fire for a week or two. An NFT extraction shooter would have some of the most sophisticated cheats and bots gaming has ever seen built for it within a week. Also the eventual market crash this game would have would’ve been interesting to see. Not to mention the friendships ruined over losing a round of a video game where actual life changing money is on the line.
Im shocked 🙆♀️
