The iconic streamer and internet personality, Dr Disrespect, expressed his shock on social media as his preferred FPS game didn’t manage to excel as he was anticipating. In the most prestigious awards show in the gaming industry, a Nintendo Switch exclusive surpassed Call of Duty.

In the streaming circle, Herschel Beahm IV aka Dr Disrespect, is an icon. He is known for his unique character, attitude, and love-hate relationship with Call of Duty. He religiously disses Activision’s Call of Duty games in his streams. But deep down, he also cares for them, as he expressed his frustration on social media when MW2 failed to lift an award in The Game Awards 2022. 

Dr Disrespect in disbelief after Call of Duty lost to a Nintendo Exclusive 

The Game Awards 2022, held on December 8, 2022, was arguably one of the most important events for the gaming industry this year. Many amazing spectacles sparked the night bright. From great new announcements to amazing games honored with awards, and appearances by some of the biggest stars of Hollywood to a controversial end, the event had it all. 

But the show left a bitter taste for many, including the massive streamer, Dr Disrespect. This year the “Best Multiplayer Game” category nominees were:- 

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
• MultiVersus
• Overwatch 2
• Splatoon 3
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge

No matter how much he denies it, clearly, Doc rooted for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Because when the game lost to Nintendo’s hit multiplayer sensation Splatoon 3, Doc posted this tweet from his official Twitter account. 

But realizing his bias, Doc agreed on giving Splatoon 3 a chance. He added in the reply, “Playing this game next week. Give it some respect…” The Two-Time teased that in his next stream in the upcoming week, he will be playing the Nintendo game to try to give it some respect and see if it is actually worthy of the awards. 

Fans give their explanation to the situation by citing different examples and reasons

The fans went all out on making Doc understand how great the Splatoon series is. Some fans compared Call of Duty and Splatoon to McDonald’s and Classy Italian restaurants. According to them, one has brand recognition, and it tastes good, but compared to the other, the difference in quality is heaven and earth.
