Midnight Society's shooter Deadrop is moving forward without the battle royale YouTuber
“In order to maintain our principles and standards as a studio and individuals, we needed to act,” the studio wrote in a statement. “For this reason, we are terminating our relationship with Guy Beahm immediately. While these facts are difficult to hear and even more difficult to accept, it is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved, especially the fifty-five developers and families we have employed along with our community of players.
An allegation? For something that happened years ago, before they started working together? That they knew of before starting? Almost sounds like a civil suit waiting to happen
According to the new statement from Midnight Society, the studio’s leadership became aware of the allegations for the first time on June 21 shortly after Conners’ tweets went viral on Twitter, and began its own investigation into the situation. “We assumed his innocence and began speaking with parties involved,” the company wrote.
They heard the allegation, looked into if it was true and how true it is, and found a reason to sever a major figure from the roster. That’s not a “it’s just an allegation” - that’s a third party investigating a potential child predator and not liking what they found.
I’m going to assume that it’s more than just an allegation and that it’s sufficiently substantiated if they’re willing to publicly cut ties with him like this. Their statement says that they confirmed the events with the involved parties, so I imagine they’re confident in their decision.
That’s how it seems to me due to his twitch ban as well. The guy is fairly popular and brings money in, I couldn’t see Twitch banning him and losing the shared revenue unless the claim had damning evidence
Wiki is already updated. Sucks this guy sucks. Mad props to the studio though, they terminated a working relationship with their more prominent supporter when they could have tried to ignore the allegations.
Another former employee corroborated the story to The Verge. Dr Disrespect responded on Twitter by stating that the legal case was settled and “no wrongdoing was acknowledged”.
It’s because there are more pedophiles than anyone wants to admit and many of those who live a truly blessed life think they can get away with it. What you’re seeing is that this is a big problem and nobody is doing anything to help.
The fact that they did their own investigation and found enough to cut ties speaks volumes imo.
I’m sure they can’t say anything else due to legal shenanigans or something

Oh my God that’s as good as an admission.
He should have his medical license revoked as well
why does it keep happening that famous people are pedophiles?
It’s because there are more pedophiles than anyone wants to admit and many of those who live a truly blessed life think they can get away with it. What you’re seeing is that this is a big problem and nobody is doing anything to help.
Well, if anyone points out a pedo in my neighborhood, I’ll do something about it.
And that’s not helping.
Because you hear news about the famous ones. You don’t hear news about the not famous ones.
