It is not every day that gamers come out with their own memoirs to let fans take a closer look at their lives. Therefore, when Dr Disrespect released ‘Violence. Speed. Momentum.’ it became an instant hint. The popular streamer managed to sell thousands of copies as his fans are desperate to get their hands on one.
The ‘Two Time‘ previously said that his goal is to ensure his memoir becomes a New York Times Bestseller. He has been promoting the book on his social media as well as his live streams. Additionally, the support from his fans has also been phenomenal when it comes to the book’s success.

Dr Disrespect calls The New York Times “a scam”
Reacting to his book’s exclusion from the Top 15 Bestseller list, Dr Disrespect expressed anger at the publishing house. He also questioned the criteria for making to the list, as one of the books on the list had sold only 5K copies. On the other hand, the Call of Duty veteran’s memoir had sold more than that on the first day of its release.
Hey @nytimes, a book that made Top 15 on your new bestseller list sold under 5k copies.
We sold more than that first day of announcing and we didn’t even make the list?
You’re a fucking scam.

Naturally, with such a discrepancy, Doc ended up calling The New York Times “a f***ing scam.” The YouTube streamer has put in a lot of effort in getting the book to great heights. Therefore, seeing its success being ignored is definitely going to hurt his feelings.
Regardless, Doc doesn’t need the validation of the NY Times to realize his book is a great success. He knows that his numbers are much better than most on the list, and so is his story. The Two Time feels that his book could easily be in the top 3 of the Bestseller list, and his fans agree.
Champs, we crushed it. The reviews, the excitement, the story.
Our total numbers blow out these numbers, we should easily be Top 3 on this list.
What a fuckin joke.

Fans worldwide have come to support Dr Disrespect for his new endeavor. They ensured that Doc knows everyone loved his book. Moreover, they also pointed out how the Bestseller list lacks legitimacy and, therefore, Violence. Speed. Momentum. being left out shouldn’t hurt much.
