Update: Following the recent allegations regarding the reason for Dr Disrespect’s ban from Twitch in 2020 (detailed below), game studio Midnight Society has severed ties with him. “On Friday evening we became aware of an allegation against one of our co-founder’s Guy Beahm aka Dr Disrespect,” the company wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “We assumed his innocence and began speaking with parties involved. And in order to maintain our principles and standards as a studio and individuals, we needed to act.
“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.”
Midnight Society was co-founded in 2021, in part by Beahm.
