YouTuber and “Call of Duty” streamer Dr Disrespect launched his game development studio Midnight Society back in December, and the brand is now releasing 10,000 “Founders Access” NFTs for early community members.
Dr Disrespect’s NFT announcement comes shortly after the creator tweeted that he has resolved his legal dispute with Twitch and is “moving on” after being indefinitely banned from the live-streaming platform in the summer of 2020. He did not say whether he remains banned.
Dr Disrespect’s gaming NFTs will be sold for $50 each on the Polygon blockchain. According to Midnight Society’s website, Founders Passes will not include pay-to-win bonuses, but will grant holders early access to game builds, a profile image that may be used in Midnight Society games, access to studio events, and voting rights on game features.
Robert Bowling, a co-founder of Midnight Society and a former employee of Infinity Ward, the maker of “Call of Duty,” views NFTs as a critical component of Midnight’s gaming ecology.
“We’re using blockchain for the Access Passes precisely because we envision them as a cross-platform membership that will cover not only our first game (codename: Project Moon), but also any future games we publish (whether made by us or not),” Bowling explained via Twitter direct message.
