Doesn't it seem like Dr Disrespect is kinda putting the cart before the horse? You don't just announce that your a AAA studio until you have actually done it with results. This screams like nothing but a PR move.

This is a dude that went into a bathroom at E3 2019 and livestreamed people relieving themselves. And now he's making more money than ever and opening a game studio.

Failing upwards is a really shitty thing to see play out. I always hate seeing people being rewarded for bad, scumbag behavior.
As far as I remember he livestreamed himself, in a public toilet. It's semantics ofcourse, but those convey different intentions.
One is stupidity and arrogance, the other is creepy.

I know Doc has had experience in development (SHG I think?) but I'd love to see what he can come up with after the amount moaning and whining he does about other developers attempts.

Dr Disrespect's Shtick Takes A Dangerous Turn Into Spreading Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

Dr Disrespect Calls Criticism Of His Mock Chinese Accent ‘Laughable'

Possibly the most popular streamer on Twitch, Dr Disrespect was called out yesterday by musician Jimmy Wong for acting racist based on a series of clips compiled by the latter in which Disrespect caricatures Chinese accents and language. During a recent stream, Disrespect fired back by saying...

Joining the studio behind a Covid denier and conspiracy theory spreading idiot is "divine in origin"? Okay dude.

Does every new hire have to submit a story for the approval of the Midnight Society?

It's a shame Quinn DelHoyo is not working on Halo Infinite anymore.

He's basically one of the Infinite (perfect) sandbox father.

Also reading he's joining Dr. Disrespect (who's the only one seriously bitching about HI lack of a Battle Royale mode) is a stab in the heart.

Honestly surprised that Dr Disrespect would want to dive back into the game dev industry considering how much money he makes streaming.

That's not really an uncommon thing though.
Regardless I'm guessing the "AAA" is probably tongue in cheek.

Sounds like they are trying to crowdsource testing so they don't have to pay people for QA 🤷‍♂️

Yup, Doc is a fucking scumbag. Of course, this would be more of an issue in this case if I believed this studio was ever going to get a game out the door. Which I do not.

Interested how this will play out. Personally, I think crowd-development doesn't work at all and is a terrible principle to base your studio on. But we'll see.
By that, I mean involving your playerbase in the core design and getting their input on every decision. I don't think anything good will come from that. Plus, elite FPS players are a pretty whiny bunch. It would not be great for anyone's mental health to be working with them on the daily.

Since he was a map designer on advanced warfare I look forward to seeing what their first IP looks like.

From what I understand he is only peripherally involved in the day to day. The actual studio head is Robert Bowling according to the website. I assume Doc is gonna be more of a PR Guy/Hype Man.

Doc's a fucking idiot, but back when I used to watch his content, he plays games in a way that is conducive to fast, frenetic, risk-taking plays and often lost fights in favor of trying to pull off fun-looking plays. I'm sure whatever he's got in the mind will be the opposite of slow, camping, gimmick-filled combat. But then again I'm not going to support it. I wish there was literally anybody else with that mentality forming a studio haha

Well this is not something I expected to ever read. I have a feeling this is going to be your standard f2p game studio though. Could probably sell a bunch of stuff with disrespect branding

I still think 343 losing Quinn is massive. The MP had absolutely no direction or quality until he joined the studio. I'm sure it wasn't all him, but damn.

Doc's vision on what a good FPS should be is actually pretty good.

They can in theory create a pretty good game.

Doc is a tool, but Bowling and Quinn know their shit. Don't think I'll be buying it but I guess I'm interested to see what they make. Though this "Day Zero" thing sounds like BS. I'm guessing what it means is whatever they make will be released in a very rough, early state and they'll rely on the free QA of their community.

I wouldn't expect Dr. Disrepect to exaggerate like that. How out of character!

Not really seeing how they expect to utilize fan feedback. Are fans going to be funding the studio somehow to buy voting stake or something?

If not, it sounds like they expect their community to do a lot of free focus testing. Sometimes design by committee and being too quick to address fan feedback can be a bad thing.
