[QUOTE="Admin, post: 64024, member: 1"] Hi-Rez Studios has pulled all Dr Disrespect content from [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/rogue-company']Rogue Company[/URL] after the streamer was alleged to have sent sexually explicit messages to a minor. Guy Beahm, better known as Dr Disrespect, was banned from Twitch in 2020 without explanation. Last month, following a number of reports, Beahm admitted he exchanged messages in 2017 with a minor via Twitch's now-defunct Whispers feature that "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate." [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/former-twitch-employee-says-dr-disrespect-knew-he-was-sending-sexually-explicit-messages-to-a-minor-report']Subsequent reports alleged[/URL] the minor had informed Beahm they were underage, and Beahm continued to send "sexually graphic" messages to them regardless. Twitch and Beahm have not responded to IGN's request for comment. Partners and sponsors like Turtle Beach, 2K, and the San Francisco 49ers subsequently [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/how-dr-disrespects-sponsors-and-partners-are-responding-to-twitch-ban-allegations-updated']cut ties with the streamer[/URL].

Now, another video game Beahm was affiliated with has taken steps to distance itself from the streamer. Beahm had partnered with Rogue Company publisher Hi-Rez Studios, which is also behind Smite and Paladins, to design his own level and even a $20 character skin sold in the free-to-play third-person tactical action shooter. That premium content is no longer in the game. A statement [URL='https://x.com/RogueCompany/status/1810028535882342577']published to the official Rogue Company X/Twitter account[/URL] has signaled the change: “Hey Rogue Company, we have disabled Dr Disrespect content previously available on game. We will provide full Rogue Buck refunds to any impacted account this week.” In recent years interest in Rogue Company has dropped off significantly. After a Steam peak concurrent player count of 12,189 set three years ago, Rogue Company now averages just a few hundred players on Steam’s platform, with 236 concurrent players at the time of this article’s publication. Indeed, Rogue Company hasn’t seen a major update since 2023, indicating a deprioritization from Hi-Rez Studios amid the upcoming launch of Smite 2. It’s fair to say that the decision to offer Rogue Buck refunds as opposed to real-money refunds for the Dr Disrespect content has sparked a backlash from paying customers who would rather their money back than a virtual currency they deem to be practically useless.

Meanwhile, Beahm hasn't issued a comment since his last stream, in which he played Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, almost two weeks ago.
