Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm launched his first Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree livestream on Monday with a glitzy intro and lots of theatrics. Just a few hours later he decided to call it quits, however, saying he was burnt out on streaming and would be logging off indefinitely. The sudden shift recalled his last-ever stream on Twitch before being preeminently banned, and came right after the video game studio he co-founded publicly cut ties with him after investigating recent allegations about his past conduct.
“When shit like this happens over the weekend it’s like how many times can I...
,” he said three hours into the stream. “Like I’m actually tired of being on social media and I’ve expressed that over the years champs, I’ve always kind of hinted like ‘Oh, it’d be nice to log off and just go live in Costa Rica or something.’ But I’m just feeling burnt out I think, you know.
” Beahm was referring to allegations made by a former Twitch employee , Cody Conners, about why the controversial streamer was originally banned from Twitch back in 2020. ““He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then-existing Twitch Whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon,” Conners tweeted .
The Verge followed up with a report corroborating that Beahm used Twitch’s messaging system to talk with a minor and try to get her to meet up with him at TwitchCon. Beahm has so far not addressed the claims directly, but tweeted more gene.
