Void Interactive Cuts Ties With Ready or Not Community Manager Over Charlie Kirk Remarks

Screenshots from the game's official Discord prompted the move, reflecting a broader wave of studio discipline over jokes about Kirk's assassination.

Overview

  • Void Interactive said on September 19 that the comments did not reflect its values and that it had ended its relationship with the individual.
  • The community manager known as 'Kaminsky' wrote in the Discord that they were discussing Kirk being shot and added, "Nothing of value was lost," according to reports.
  • The exchange originated from a request to add variations of "Charlie Kirk" to the server's filtered words list in the official Ready or Not Discord.
  • Screenshots circulated on X drew calls for action from Kirk supporters and right-wing accounts, and public reaction to Void's statement was sharply divided.
  • Reporters say the studio declined to specify whether Kaminsky was an employee, contractor, or volunteer, and note Sucker Punch recently fired an artist for a similar joke confirmed by its co-founder.
