The last major update to Red Dead Redemption Online was released in July 2021, and nearly half a year later, Rockstar still hasn't provided a major content update for the game, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the game's players.
Rockstar updated the "Contract Expert" mega DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online last month, updating The Rich Story with collaborations with renowned rapper and producer Dr. Dre. On the 6th of this month, the Red Dead Redemption Online players who have been waiting for months are just a welfare event.
Players think the game itself has a lot of potential, but Grand Theft Auto Online has a better revenue effect, and Rockstar put all his energy there and didn't want to run the game well. Disappointed and angry fans launched the "Hashtag save Red Dead Redemption Online" on Twitter, which attracted sustained attention.
Many of the memes created by players on this topic quote episodes from "Arthur" and "Duchey" from Red Dead Redemption 2 to describe Rockstar's attitude towards Red Dead Redemption Online and its player community.
Arthur / Red Dead Redemption Online: You just made me wait to die, right?
Dutch / Rockstar: So what can I do!
Arthur / Red Dead Redemption Online Player Community: I've given everything...
Dutch / Rockstar: (a look of indifference)
While some radical players have used the hashtag to bash developers, most Red Dead Redemption Online fans have shared screenshots of their own games, stating that such a great game should not be abandoned and reminding other players not to verbally attack game developers.
"Games like this deserve more attention."
"It's a shame that such a potential game was overlooked, and now it's really like wild west, with nobody playing and nothing to play."
Rockstar has not responded to the matter at this time. The game has not received much attention since its launch, and its popularity is far less than that of Grand Theft Auto Online, but it has also gained some loyal fans. Hopefully, Rockstar will pay more attention to this game and launch more content that will attract players.
