Midnight Society’s Founders Pass NFT has dropped over $300 in price after the studio cut ties with Dr Disrespect, with some now selling for as low as $45.
Beahm admitted to the allegationson June 25, but claimed there was “no wrongdoing” and that the messages were merely “casual, mutual conversations.” He also addressedhis exit from Midnight Society, calling it a “painful decision” to have to step down, but he didn’t want to “jeopardize the culture” at the studio.
A number ofplayers have already abandoned the studio’s DEADROP title, calling it “dead”in the wake of Doc’s exit.
Prior to that, there had been sales right around the $400 mark, with one piece even selling for $1,178. Plenty of passes have been listed for sale in the fallout, however, some unsold ones are sitting above the $100 mark as players look to recoup some of their investment.
The passes not only allowed players to get into the ‘snapshot’ versions of DEADROP builds, but also gave them one-of-a-kind ‘Variant’ characters, profile photos, as well as voting rights on game features.
There had alsobeen meet-and-greet events with the studio, which Beahm attended in his Dr Disrespect attire, allowing pass owners to play against him on recent dev builds of the game.
Beahm has stated that he’ll be back streaming after an extended vacation, but he’ll have no further involvement with DEADROP.
