Fired Sucker Punch Dev Drew Harrison Says Harassment Campaign, Not Tasteless Charlie Kirk Joke, Cost Her the Job

Shortly after Kirk was killed, Harrison made a comment on BlueSky joking that she hoped the shooter was named Mario, so Luigi would know his “brother” had his back. This was a reference to Luigi Mangione, who was suspected of shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in December 2024. The comment, which many considered insensitive, quickly sparked outrage online, directed at both Harrison and the game company Sucker Punch. Harrison later said she didn’t take the criticism seriously.
