Dr Disrespect admitted that he actually enjoys the controversy surrounding the game.
He also dismissed the most prominent claims made by critics, stating, “The expectation is that it’s the worst thing ever. But you’re always going to get those types of comments, man.”
Dr Disrespect listed several negative comments, including claims that the game will be ‘dead on arrival,’ criticisms suggesting he and his studio have no idea what they’re doing, and judgments on the game’s appearance.
After discussing the situation with his wife, Mrs. Assassin, Dr Disrespect admitted that the hate has been hard for them to process. He finds it difficult to understand why people would go out of their way to attack him and his “dream project.”
He expressed his frustration, saying, “I have a hard time fathoming why people would hate like that, especially when they don’t even know you. Just let us do what we need to do.”
Dr Disrespect then reflected on the numerous times he has faced criticism and doubt throughout his career. He remained resilient, stating, “I mean, shit, just let us do what we need to do. Let us roll with it, man.”
On July 29, Dr Disrespect and his team will make an important announcement about Project Moon. It’s an eagerly anticipated date, as teased on a Times Square billboard.
