Earlier this week, Void Interactive responded to a Reddit thread<\/a>, confirming that a school shooting setting would be used as a basis for an upcoming campaign level in their latest tactical shooter game, Ready or Not.<\/p>\n

Despite the game mainly receiving favourable ratings from thousands of players on Steam, the controversial school level announcement was met with massive backlash from fans, who deemed their decision insensitive. Moreover, the announcement came just a day before the company officially revealed their divorce with publisher Team17<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The timing of the divorce resulted in many people suspecting that the school level was a significant determinant leading to the publisher’s departure. However, the company recently denounced those claims, saying that the school level controversy had nothing to do with their split from Team17.<\/p>\n

On 20th December, Void Interactive issued a tweet announcing that they were parting with publisher Team17, citing that the decision was “mutually agreed” upon; however, the game development studio failed to provide a reason for the split.<\/p>\n
