Twitter reacts to Dr DisRespect taking a week-long break from streaming

"I wanna be surprised. I literally am going insane right now with our selection of games in the industry. You know, I’m going insane. And I don't see anything like that in the horizon that gives me hope. I mean, I guess I shouldn’t say I don’t see anything."

During the same stream, he hinted at taking a multi-year break from livestreaming to focus on his AAA game studio called The Mightnight Society. He said:

“I’m really considering taking a year or two off to make this game. I’m considering a year or two off, then come back. For the full, complete game, it’s going to be a two-year timeline, I think. It’s a big vision game, large scale.”
