of its split on X on Friday, stating that it had “assumed [Dr Disrespect’s] innocence and began speaking with parties involved,” and “in order to maintain our principles and standards as a studio and individuals, we needed to act.”

For this reason, the Deadrop developer is terminating its relationship with Beahm immediately, it said.

“While these facts are difficult to hear and even more difficult to accept, it is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved, especially the fifty-five developers and families we have employed along with our community of players.”

“I think… we need to step away,” he said. “And when I say step away, I think I’m going to have to relay this to Midnight Society, but maybe I step away from there too [and] just completely remove myself from the scene. It’s what I need to do.”

He later added: “It may be time to drive into the sunset”.
