Developer Midnight Society, the studio co-founded by streamer Guy 'Dr Disrespect' Beahm, announced it is shutting down.

"Today we are announcing Midnight Society will be closing its doors after three incredible years, with an amazing team of over 55 developers contributing to our new IP DEADROP," reads a statement from the developer.

"We are actively seeking other game studios that would be interested in offering employment opportunities to our talented team members.

"If you know anyone who's hiring please forward this message to them or DM us for direct intros.

"We express our sincere gratitude to each and every one of our community members and deeply sorry we were unable to reach our ultimate goal."

Midnight Society was developing an extraction shooter called DEADROP. There were plans to incorporate NFTs.

The studio and Dr Disrespect parted ways last year following controversy with the streamer. There were allegations he sent sexually explicit messages to a minor in 2017 and was planning to meet up with the minor at Twitchcon.
