Dr. Disrespect's Midnight Society Shuts Down, Cancels Deadrop
Gaming studio Midnight Society, co-founded by streamer Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm, has announced its closure and the cancellation of its anticipated FPS game, Deadrop.
The studio shared the news via an X post, stating, "Today we are announcing Midnight Society will be closing its doors after three incredible years, with an amazing team of over 55 developers." The announcement included a plea for job opportunities for its talented team members.
Midnight Society was established by Beahm alongside industry veterans Robert Bowling (Call of Duty) and Quinn Delhyo (Halo). Deadrop, their debut title, was envisioned as a free-to-play PvPvE extraction shooter set in a unique, retro-futuristic 80s-inspired universe. While initially targeting a 2024 release, the game ultimately failed to launch.

The studio's separation from Beahm in 2024 followed the streamer's admission of inappropriate messaging with a minor via Twitch Whispers. Despite this, development on Deadrop continued until its recent termination. Concept art showcased characters sporting Daft Punk-esque helmets and wielding both firearms and melee weapons.
Midnight Society's closure adds to the growing list of game studios facing challenges and downsizing in the current economic climate. This trend has already affected major players such as Ubisoft, BioWare, and Phoenix Labs.
