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.
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.

It’s always a shame when a game just disappears instead of sharing all that work.
