Summary:

Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, has shut down and canceled its in-development game, Deadrop. This follows significant layoffs in September after the studio cut ties with Dr Disrespect in June due to inappropriate messages he exchanged with a minor. Ironically, shortly after the studio's closure, YouTube reinstated Dr Disrespect's monetization, citing a review of his recent activity and a warning against future violations. Midnight Society, founded in 2021, was developing Deadrop, a free-to-play extraction shooter initially funded by NFT sales. The studio stated they are trying to find other employment opportunities for their team.

Where the map you are on requires you fighting your way upward, something like a skyscraper, to get to the top to an extraction point
