Dr Disrespect predicts he'll return to Deadrop developer Midnight Society_ 'That's the Two Time's st

Three months after being over an exchange of "inappropriate" messages with a minor, Guy Beahm, the streamer better known as Dr Disrespect, has stated that it's still his studio and predicts he'll return to it sooner or later.

It struck me as kind of odd that when Beahm earlier this month, links to Midnight Society remained in his and profiles. I thought at first it was an oversight, a bit of housecleaning left undone, but as the days and weeks passed, the links remained.

Now we know why: Because Beahm isn't going away quietly. He made that clear about his streaming career when he returned to action on YouTube with a 20-minute rant against his Twitch ban and claims that it was driven by a conspiracy against him. It turns out he has similar thoughts about his role at Midnight Society.

"That's the Two Time's studio," Beahm said in a recent stream (via ), using his preferred self-reference as a two-time NBA Jam tournament champion. "That's the Two Time's game. That's my vision for a game. Eric [presumably concept artist Eric Hallquist] and I, we concepted out the original concept years ago. You guys remember that. We talked about it, we created the studio with a few other individuals, we grew the team.

"Yeah, it's still in my bio, and I just got a feeling, just give it a little bit more time, we'll be right back in it. We'll be right back in it, champs, just give it [[link]] some time. Not a problem."

It's a bold statement, but not entirely without basis. Deadrop has been popularly known as "Dr Disrespect's game" since the very beginning, and he was the very high-profile public face of the game and the studio making it until his June dismissal. Questions about as its chief cheerleader followed almost immediately in the wake of that split, and that occurred just a few months later didn't make the situation look any sunnier. 

It's not likely those cuts were driven by Beahm's termination—the past [[link]] two years have seen a virtual as the heady days of the Covid-19 quarantine gave way to an entirely predictable return to reality that game company executives were somehow unable to predict—but his removal sparked a vocal backlash from early supporters and players who were in it primarily, or entirely, because of Beahm's involvement.

After initially telling PC Gamer that Beahm "won't be back," Midnight Society took a more conciliatory tone in a follow-up statement that sidestepped the question of his predicted comeback. "We amicably parted ways with Dr Disrespect, and will always be appreciative of his contributions to the studio," a studio representative said. "Our focus is shipping Deadrop  in 2025."

As for Deadrop itself, work continues: Midnight Society recently shared a new gameplay trailer showcasing the state of the game, as well as a touching on a range of topics including specific gameplay elements, rewards, and future plans.
