Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by streamer Guy 'Dr. Disrespect' Beahm, has announced that it will be closing its doors and canceling its FPS game, Deadrop. The studio made the announcement on a post on X, 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 post also included a call to action, asking if any studio is hiring and could offer employment opportunities to its team members.
Midnight Society was founded by Beahm, along with veterans of games like Call of Duty and Halo, Robert Bowling and Quinn Delhyo. The studio's first game, Deadrop, was intended to be a free-to-play FPS that would leverage the team's expertise. Although Deadrop was targeting a 2024 release, it missed its target.
