Midnight Society, the game studio founded by YouTube personality Dr Disrespect, has unexpectedly shut down before releasing its first game, Deadrop. The closure comes amid changes in YouTube’s monetization policies, which appear to favor content creators like Dr Disrespect.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The abrupt shutdown of Midnight Society and the cancellation of Deadrop is a significant setback in the gaming industry. As someone deeply involved in app development and IT, it’s disheartening to see the potential of this ambitious project cut short. This situation highlights the volatility in the gaming start-up world and the crucial role financial backing plays in bringing innovative ideas to life. On the other hand, YouTube’s adjustment in monetization policies to favor influential content creators might provide a silver lining for independent developers and streamers by ensuring they have a sustainable revenue model.
