Void Interactive has severed its "relationship" with the community manager for Ready or Not following remarks made about Charlie Kirk

The team behind the game "Ready or Not," Void Interactive, has decided to part ways with its community manager after controversial remarks were made regarding the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk in the game's official Discord. This news was covered by Kotaku, which reported that the community manager, identified as 'Kaminsky', was recently involved in a conversation about whether variations of Charlie Kirk's name should be included in the server's filtered words.

Kaminsky responded to the request by saying, "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." A server moderator quickly noted that this did not represent the platform's official stance.

Screenshots of this conversation were shared online, leading users on X to demand that Void Interactive respond to these comments. In a statement published on September 19, 2025, via its official X account and Steam, the company addressed the incident and declared it had severed ties with Kaminsky.

The statement clarified, "We are aware of comments made by our community manager about a recent traffic event. 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 company emphasized its commitment to maintaining a professional community for the game.

When GamesIndustry.biz sought further insights, including whether Kaminsky was a full-time worker or volunteer, a representative directed them to the Steam statement and confirmed their adherence to the message shared on the Steam Page.
