Dr Disrespect Clarifies Highguard Badge Photo Was a Joke After Dev Denial
In a recent incident that stirred controversy, Dr Disrespect, the renowned streamer known as Guy Beahm, clarified that his post about attending a Highguard event was merely a joke. The clarification came after the game’s developer, Wildlight Entertainment, confirmed that he did not participate in any pre-launch event.
Background of the Incident
On January 24, 2026, Dr Disrespect tweeted about a trip to Los Angeles to explore Highguard, accompanied by an image of a purported event badge. This tweet hinted at the game’s release date set for January 26, 2026.
Developer’s Confirmation
Questions arose after the game’s launch regarding the legitimacy of Dr Disrespect’s claims. Chin Pua, Wildlight Entertainment’s creator manager, took to social media to address the situation. He stated: “I can confirm DDR was not invited to any Highguard event past or present, and the badge was not an official badge.”
Dr Disrespect’s Response
During a subsequent stream, Dr Disrespect responded to the uproar, emphasizing that his original tweet was intended as a lighthearted joke. He expressed disbelief over the reactions it generated, stating, “Did we say we went to the event? Did we say we got hands on?”
