Dr Disrespect’s former game company hit with ‘significant’ layoffs

Midnight Society, the gaming studio originally co-founded by under-fire streamer Guy Beahm a.k.a. Dr Disrespect and responsible for creating DEADROP, has announced it’s cutting staff today following a tumultuous few months that included financial struggles and the Doc’s forced departure due to inappropriately messaging a minor.

Co-founder Robert Bowling released a statement on Sept. 10 on Midnight Society’s Discord server announcing a “significant workforce reduction” due to “multiple unexpected challenges in recent months.” Bowling added these measures are “designed to strengthen our foundation and renew focus on our core mission,” and that DEADROP is still on track for a release in 2025—but that Midnight Society would share “revised plans and milestones” in coming weeks.
