DrDisrespect is a very popular gaming streamer notorious for his over the top and comedic streams. His streams pull in tens of thousands of viewers at a time.

"Streamer and Midnight Society founder Dr Disrespect has argued that NFT items in gaming will bring about “a new PvP experience”, and accused critics of the technology of being “brain dead”.

The streamer pointed to the “entertainment value” of players trying to extract with a hypothetical item worth $100,000, and claimed “people saying scam and ‘ugh’ are just brain dead headline followers.”"

The idea of an in-game item having real monetary value is intriguing. I think it would be a lot of fun and very intense watching players fight each other with real money on the line.

DrDisrespect has also been working on his own game as of late. It'd be interesting to see if he will actually incorporate NFTs into his own game. It's unfortunate to see the gaming community react poorly to his announcement of the NFTs but will it be enough to sway DrDisrespect away from the idea?
