Void Interactive, the developer behind the popular tactical shooter Ready or Not, has announced it is severing ties with its community manager, Kaminsky, following controversial comments made on the game's official Discord server. The remarks, which were perceived as dismissive toward conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, sparked outrage online and prompted swift action from the studio.

According to reports, the incident unfolded when a user inquired whether variations of the name "Charlie Kirk" could be added to the server’s filtered words list. In response, Kaminsky made a comment that quickly ignited backlash.

"I just did Charlie. Funny you mention that because me and my roommate are literally just talking about him getting shot," Kaminsky wrote in the Discord chat. "All I have to say is: Nothing of value was lost."

A server moderator quickly intervened, clarifying that the community manager's personal views did not represent the official stance: "Yeah, but that's not our official position."

Despite the moderator’s attempt to distance the company from Kaminsky's comment, the exchange was shared widely across social media, with several users on X (formerly Twitter) posting screenshots of the interaction and calling for Void Interactive to take action.

On September 19, 2025, Void Interactive issued a statement on their official X account and Steam page, confirming they had ended their professional relationship with Kaminsky. The company emphasized that the community manager’s remarks were in no way reflective of the values the studio stands for.

"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."

The post continued, underscoring the company's commitment to maintaining a respectful environment within the Ready or Not community: "We have ended our relationship with this individual and reminded our team of the responsibility we all share when communicating on public platforms."

Void Interactive concluded the statement by reaffirming its dedication to fostering a "respectful and professional community" around the game. More:Discord, Twitch, Reddit, and Steam CEO's to Testify at US Congress
