Dr. Disrespect's Midnight Society Shuts Down, Cancels Deadrop
Midnight Society, the game development studio co-founded by streamer Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm, has announced its closure and the cancellation of its anticipated FPS game, Deadrop.
In an X post, the studio stated, "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 also included a plea for employment opportunities for its now-displaced team members.
The studio, comprised of Beahm alongside Call of Duty and Halo veterans Robert Bowling and Quinn Delhyo, aimed to launch Deadrop, a free-to-play PvPvE extraction shooter, in 2024. However, the game failed to meet its release target.

Following Dr. Disrespect's departure from Midnight Society in 2024 due to allegations of inappropriate messaging with a minor via Twitch Whispers, development continued on Deadrop until its recent cancellation.
Deadrop was set in a unique, retro-futuristic universe where "the 80s never ended," featuring characters sporting Daft Punk-esque helmets and wielding a blend of firearms and melee weapons.
This closure adds Midnight Society to the growing list of game studios facing financial difficulties and workforce reductions, a trend impacting major players like Ubisoft, BioWare, and Phoenix Labs.
