Seven months after controversial streamer Dr. Disrespect was booted from his own game studio for alleged misconduct, Deaddrop game developer Midnight Society confirmed Thursday that 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,” the company wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday afternoon.

The confirmation comes after Midnight Society Level Designer Brad Boice posted on social media earlier Thursday that employees had been given two days notice of an imminent closure.

“The team at Midnight Society got our two-day notice yesterday that the studio is out of funding and everybody needs to pack up and go home,” Boice posted. “Everyone I worked with at Midnight Society is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at what they do and is now jobless.
