Streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm is starting up his own gaming studio and is looking for a studio head to help run and co-found it.
According to a job listing Beahm shared on his Twitter account, the former Call of Duty level designer is looking for a co-founder to help start up a new “AA/AAA gaming studio” that has a unique twist.
According to Beahm, whatever game this studio ends up making, it will be developed in “partnership with a select list of mega influencers” who will work closely with the studio to “launch their dream game.”
The job opening is asking for a co-founder and studio head who will manage the studio and develop and publish the game targeting PC and consoles.
While plenty of streamers have dabbled with game development, Beahm actually was a former developer who became a full-time streamer. But he isn’t without controversy.
In 2020, Beahm was permanently banned from Twitch for reasons that still aren’t fully clear to this day. Instead, Beahm decamped to YouTube, though not under any exclusive contract like he was previously at Twitch before his ban. Beahm was once temporarily banned from Twitch for bringing a filming crew inside an E3 bathroom.
Will the influencer’s dream game become the next hit or resemble something like The Homer? Time will tell.
