Last Friday, a former Twitch employee sent the gaming and streaming world into a frenzy by apparently revealing the reason popular streamer Guy Beahm, known by most as Dr Disrespect, was mysteriously banned from the platform in 2020. Now, the game studio Beahm co-founded, Midnight Society, says it has terminated its relationship with him, effective immediately, in the wake of the allegation that Beahm was banned from Twitch for his messages to a minor. Midnight Society announced the news with a post on X/Twitter on Monday, saying they "assumed" Beahm's 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." "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," the statement, which you can read in full below, continues. On Friday evening we became aware of an allegation against one of our co-founder’s Guy Beahm aka Dr Disrespect.
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..
