Unlike most publishers and developers that rush out a sanitized game in an unfinished state with working microtransactions, Void Interactive aims to deliver a complete game with a single-player experience by Q4 2020. To do this, the team has Ready or Not in closed alpha testing and will later have a beta go live sometime in June 2020. However, the devs are no strangers to fan mods and waifu implementation.
Ready or Not seems to be legit so far in that the devs aren’t pulling any scummy tactics or doing anything that would raise an eyebrow when it comes to funding the FPS title in question.
As it stands now, there’s no current year or blatant propaganda that’ll have gamers standing their ground against such nonsense rolling their eyes, but instead full-on SWAT-like tactical FPS action.
Accompanying the above, though, is some cultural stuff that you don’t see from Western devs in current year, and that is embracing PC mods and waifus.
Way back in March of this year, we reported on the tactical first-person shooter’s mod support, and it looks like the devs are still serious about anyone doing anything with their game at launch, unlike Blizzard with community-made Overwatch porn.
Late last month on November 25th, 2019, one of the devs took to the team’s Twitter account to encourage fans to make waifu mods when the game releases with the following response:
If it was a lewd-er game; maybe.
But feel free to mod in your anime SWAT waifus when you can. We won’t judge. 🙈 https://t.co/KI47WVRlzi

One person tried to persuade the devs in not embracing weeb culture but only failed in the process:
You know it’s going to be done anyway, we can’t stop the inevitable.

Instead of the team trying to stop the inevitable, we learn that Void Interactive embraces fans’ interest in waifus and encourages men of fine taste to do as they please when Q4 2020 rolls around.
Behold, the act of caring for the community’s taste in fine arts isn’t confined to November, no. As of December, the devs flexed a muscle, unlike NeatherRealm Studios did to a fan regarding female attire in the game that identifies as Mortal Kombat 11.
The December act sees the team not condemning a fan regarding the “what’s behind the door” meme, which the fan in question believes a school-girl waifu with thigh-high stockings is the reason that has SWAT members’ wanting to get a peek to see what’s going down. The response to this is from the team is “LEWD!”:
LEWD!

In all honesty, this is refreshing to see in current year. Often times, if fans post something like this, they’re often told off, condemned, or outright banned. Hopefully, Void Interactive stands its ground moving forward and continues to make a solid FPS game with a single-player experience come Q4 2020.
