It's a hectic time for those in the orbit of Guy Beahm, the streamer better known as Dr Disrespect who last week admitted to being banned from Twitch for inappropriately messaging a minor. Friends, brands, and a professional football team have cut ties with the streamer, though the separation most personal to Beahm was his firing from Midnight Society , the game studio he co-founded in 2021. For almost three years Beahm was the face of Midnight Society and its debut game Deadrop , a "vertical extraction shooter.

" "Face" is actually an understatement: Deadrop wasn't just Dr Disrespect's game, it was the Dr Disrespect game . The shooter's art style matches Beahm's dark cyberpunk stream graphics and merchandise. Deadrop's core extraction mode was inspired by Beahm's love of Escape From Tarkov.

The Deadrop assault rifle has two firing modes: "Yaya" and "Yayayaya," a reference to the disgraced streamer's catchphrase. In the week since Beahm's firing Midnight Society has made efforts to scrub the Doc from its official channels—Beahm is no longer mentioned in the studio's Twitter bio and its About Us page has gone offline. Only scarce mentions of the streamer remain in its FAQ and branding guidelines.

Midnight Society might never fully disentangle itself from its co-founder, though even if it could, I seriously question what Deadrop is without its load-bearing hype man. Because I can tell you what Deadrop is not right now: a good, or even particularly promising game. Deadrop is no.
