Ready or Not developer, Void Interactive, has ended its “relationship” with the game’s community manager, following comments they made about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in the tactical FPS’s official Discord server.
As reported by Kotaku, Ready or Not’s community manager, known as ‘Kaminsky’, was asked last week to add variations of “Charlie Kirk” to the server’s filtered words list.
In response, Kaminsky replied: “I just did Charlie. Funny you mention that because me and my roommate are literally just talking about him getting shot. All I have to say is: Nothing of value was lost.”
“Yeah but that’s not our official position,” replied a server moderator.
Following the post, multiple users on X posted screenshots of the exchange, calling for Void Interactive to take action over the comments.
On September 19, 2025, Void Interactive posted a statement from its official X account (and on Steam) addressing the comments and announcing it had “ended” its “relationship” with Kaminsky.
“We are aware of comments made by our community manager about a recent traffic event,” the statement reads. “These statements do not reflect our values or represent our company.”
“We have ended our relationship with this individual and reminded our team of the responsibility we all share when communicating on public platforms,” the post continued.
“Our focus remains on fostering a respectful and professional community around Ready or Not.”
When GamesIndustry.biz asked for further comment on this, including confirmation on whether Kaminsky was a full-time Void Interactive employee or volunteer, a spokesperson pointed us toward the Steam statement and said: “The team at Void Interactive would like to stand by the message they posted on the Steam Page.”
Last week, Sucker Punch Productions fired a senior artist on Ghost of Yotei over a joke she made about Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated during a speaking event on September 10, 2025.
