Dr Disrespect sent explicit messages to a minor and deserves 100% accountability for his actions. But he only got to that point because sponsors and business rewarded him for toxic behavior. He's not the only one. Devs and sponsors need to step up and not rewarding professional assholes.
Opinion: Dr Disrespect's ousting should be a wake-up call for devswww.gamedeveloper.com Dr Disrespect's sponsors should have seen his behavior coming from a mile away.

They get all of the sales while the person is popular, and wash their hands when things get too hot, I don't see why they'd change if the math at the end is a net gain

Hmmm yes it does seem like FanDuel, the San Francisco 49ers, Turtle Beach, and other brands that previously affiliated with him like Rogue Company and Call of Duty would follow that logic...one hopes that FanDuel, the San Francisco 49ers, Turtle Beach, and the other brands learn from this.

Excellent read. Couldn’t have said it better myself!

At least some companies did deny him sponsorship deals for games last year, but yeah, it's absurd this wasn't over with years ago.

Good guy Bethesda being an unexpected side effect here.

Yup. One look and I was like "this dude is a shit stain and that he got any kind of sponsorship anywhere is a real failure of risk management."
