Dr Disrespect has spoken publicly about the closure of his video game studio, Midnight Society. Known as one of the biggest names in the gaming content creation industry, Dr Disrespect was once a prominent figure on Twitch and boasted immense talent supported by major brands like Turtle Beach, Mountain Dew, and others. While he encountered some controversies during his time on Twitch, these incidents typically resulted in minor penalties that didn’t result in significant harm. However, things took an unexpected turn in the summer of 2020 when Dr Disrespect was suddenly and inexplicably banned permanently from Twitch. After disappearing for several months without explanation, he later reappeared on YouTube.
Initially, due to a legal dispute with Twitch, Dr Disrespect couldn’t discuss his ban. Later, the lawsuit was resolved under an agreement that neither party would disclose details about the incident. However, a former Twitch employee later leaked information suggesting that Dr Disrespect had been accused of inappropriately messaging a minor and planning to meet this minor at TwitchCon. This revelation sparked widespread criticism towards Dr Disrespect, eventually leading to his expulsion from his own gaming studio, Midnight Society. Founded in 2021, Midnight Society was established by Dr Disrespect alongside other industry veterans who have worked on popular FPS games like Call of Duty and Halo.
Prior to focusing on streaming, Dr Disrespect had experience as a map designer at Sledgehammer Games, giving him insight into game design. The team at Midnight Society was working concurrently on a first-person shooter titled “Deadrop,” gathering player input throughout the development process. This collaborative approach allowed players to influence the game’s creation and ensure it catered to fans’ preferences. Regrettably, these efforts will no longer continue as Midnight Society closed its operations earlier this week, approximately six months after parting ways with Dr Disrespect and subsequently cancelling “Deadrop.
Dr Disrespect Claims Midnight Society Firing Was “Poorly Handled”
On a recent broadcast, Dr Disrespect commented on the shutdown of Midnight Society, expressing his newfound freedom to speak openly. He criticized the way the investigation that led to his departure was managed, stating it was more of an accusation without proper inquiry. He also expressed displeasure about the tweet announcing his exit from Midnight Society not being authorized by him and should’ve never been posted. In response to a viewer calling co-founder Robert Bowling a clown, Dr Disrespect warned, “I’d better not get started on that guy.
It’s important to note that this account is based on Dr Disrespect‘s perspective of events. He initially confessed to sending inappropriate messages to a minor, then retracted the claim. Given this inconsistency, his credibility as a narrator is questionable. The specifics of the investigation against him remain unclear, and it’s unknown what transpired behind the scenes. It appears unlikely that Midnight Society would remove Dr Disrespect from their game without reason, given its previous controversies. However, the full story may never be fully disclosed. Robert Bowling, a key figure in this situation, has been absent from social media, deleting all his tweets. Whether he will reappear to share his side of the story is uncertain, but it’s clear that this situation was very messy.
