The twitch streamer jumped on the hype train after multiple celebrities released their “Founder Pass” based on non-fungible tokens to drive fan engagement. The Midnight society received 50k applicants in the first 5 hours.
Dr Disrespect announced in a tweet on March 10th that he had resolved his past legal disputes with Twitch. Despite their court battle ending in a deadlock, Dr Disrespect confirmed that he will no longer be streaming on Twitch.
Later, he shared an early preview of his latest project, the Midnight Protocol, which is rumored to be Dr Disrespect’s very own video game. Several gaming news agencies, however, picked up on the tale and reported that the game will be developed around the metaverse and that early funders will be granted NFTs.
Dr Disrespect, together with former Call of Duty and Halo developers, founded the AAA game firm Midnight Society in December 2021. The AAA studio is a colloquial term in the gaming community that refers to mid-to large-scale publishers.
Call Of Duty creative strategist Robert Bowling joined Midnight society as co-founder and studio head, while Halo 5 multiplayer designer Quinn DelHoyo stepped in as co-founder and creative director of the company. The team has been working on an online PvP game that will use NFTs. They’re creating the game from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5 and the studio just released an “Arena Takeover” teaser on the project.
This is it.
