Rogue Company, a game that hasn’t received an update since October 2023, got patched by devs just to remove their Dr Disrespect crossover.
Dr Disrespect had a significant influence on the gaming community, with millions of followers and multiple collaborations between Turtle Beach, Midnight Society, and others.
However, following information about him sending inappropriate messages to minors being released to the public, all of these ventures have cut ties with Dr Disrespect.
Turtle Beach removed its Dr Disrespect-themed headphones from its storefront, and Midnight Society, a game company co-founded by the Doc, decided to end its partnership with him.
Rogue Company, a game developed by HiRez, garnered attention from the gaming community in its early stages for being a new five-vs-five multiplayer shooter. During its era of hype, the developers teamed up with Dr Disrespect to make a skin and an entire map dedicated to him.
The game hasn’t seen any activity for nearly a year, with no new content or updates from the developers. However, a few players noticed that Dr Disrespect’s skin was subtly removed from the game.
A Redditor posted a video of themselves playing Rogue Company with the Dr Disrespect skin on. It seems that, while the skin does appear on the starting screen, in the game, it defaults to another character, and the same can be said for when the game ends and the characters are displayed again.
Following the release of the video and comments on their subreddit confirming refunds, Rogue Company’s devs took to X and clarified that all the content associated with Dr Disrespect had been removed.
“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,” the company said on X.
However, despite the promise of refunds, players weren’t happy with the decision to give it back through in-game currency instead of actual money.
“Give me back my money. I don’t want to buy your other crappy skins,” said one commenter.
Rogue Company has assured players that they will be getting their refunds within the week of July 8 – 14, so be sure to check your account for the in-game currency.
