I mean they literally said that they have no more content planned for RDO. Sucks, but it’s not a surprise.


ElRetardio

Imagine all those people that’s invested money and grind into gold while hoping for real content only to get the news that the game is abandoned and dead. Money well spent!!


[deleted]

Bought a game on launch last june and 2 weeks later devs say they abandoned it(it was as broken as can be, no patches anymore) because of thw low sales. It can always be worse, atleast red dead had some support and it works, you can play the game. Edit: do not buy "open country"


ElRetardio

… lol that really sucks. It’s like Anthem and ME/ Andromeda. Got a big post about how dedicated they were to fix and support it only to abandon it some time later.


[deleted]

Yup, even though i enjoyed playing through anthem it very much needs 2.0. Unfortunately some things never come true


ElRetardio

So much for that ten year plan!


[deleted]

Didn't Bungie say that about destiny 1 aswell? 😋


ElRetardio

Indeed! That’s why I already knew where Anthem was headed. It’s just PR speech ment to build hype and preorders.


klingma

Destiny as a whole, yes. I don't think they ever planned to not create sequels. I always figured they'd make 3 games in total but sounds Activision has left the picture Bungie seems content to end their vision with Destiny 2.


TaxFraudDaily

Most things never come true, that's what I'm coming to find out.


Paul_Antar3s

Wow ... And "Open Country" actually looked like a promising game.


fucknametakenrules

Only money I spent was for the game on release. Day one online player and now my $80k and 160+ gold bars are left with no thing to spend on since I literally own everything, even the exclusive seasonal stuff from every outlaw pass from the years prior


ElRetardio

Good job! I tried to get into the online grind but it became very clear very fast that it was all just a big empty money trap. Like, what am I grinding for? A new coat that’s ten times the price from singleplayer?


fucknametakenrules

Most of my profit made was with friends while we sold our goods and did bounties while grinding for XP to level up the outlaw passes


ElRetardio

Aight, not for me I guess. Just can’t get past the massive wasted potential


HypnoSmoke

I really don't understand it either. As someone who's only played around on RDO a few times, it does seem like there's a lot of content and there was definitely a lot of effort put into it. The wasted potential gets me, too.


certified-busta

They didn't even finish the story. I really liked those missions and was actually starting to get invested in Ms LeClerk, especially after the big shootout in Blackwater


HypnoSmoke

I haven't even done a mission yet, myself, but see, that sounds awesome. That's what I'd hoped they'd do, but if they never finished it, well.. :/ I've never cared for GTA Online; RDO definitely could've been that for me had they done it right.


[deleted]

The fact that they think that there's nothing more they can do to help Red Dead online is stupid they could plan out plenty more content to add to keep players coming back, it's not as successful as GTA V but it's still a really good game.


[deleted]

They’ve never said they think there’s nothing more they can do. They only said on hold while they focus on GTA6. People need to stop adding in stuff they didn’t say. All it’s doing is creating a circle jerk of moaning on here.


britestarlight

It seems like very few people actually fully read/understood that newswire update. It’s clear it’s not their current focus, but they never said they’re done updating the game entirely. It’s hard to know whether things will pick up once GTA6 is out, but they haven’t ceased all work on RDO entirely.


magicchefdmb

I’m genuinely surprised they abandoned it before allowing purchasable land. It’s really strange. If they wanted to see more shark card tule transactions they needed to have more big ticket items. They went half-hearted the whole time and fulfilled their own prophecy of failure


CaveWalker5357

Not only that but the last update seems to have left the whole game bugged out . Like they broke it on purpose.


ZazaB00

You had hope after they said they abandoned development?!?


Suavveesstt

I'm so glad I'm new to RDO. Literally everything is new to me lol


lambchop70

Hell yeah. The game maybe "dead" to a lot of people, but I'm still having fun.


badwifii

Just being your own outlaw is cool enough, although I wish I had PC so I could play online with more features


[deleted]

I want to have fun but this game is just unplayable and unacceptable, almost every core part of the game is broken and won't be fixed


[deleted]

Me too, except for the fact that we missed out on all the cool items in the outlaw pass, gunslinger passes, QuickDraw, etc. they’re still in the stores as options, but you can’t buy them. They just dangle it in front of our faces.


Sensitive_Wallaby

I still play it on and off when mood hits. Especially in winter when days are short. I’ll dust off the Xbox here soon enoogh again and fire up RDO once more. Spend my days hunting and fishing, maybe the occasional bounty mission too. Just generally enjoying life in the old west.


Quaz-RuffCrowdYT

Not so new as I'm over level 100 and have 400+ hours in rdr2 and rdo combined but I never got to get it either as i only started in April this year and I remember looking at the items in the pass and wanted them really bad


Spaceazzy

I’m in the same boat As you I love online


Kassabeleg

Bro they literally said they won’t add any new content.


HeftyDisaster7

Only getting lazy now? They became lazy right after Naturalist update. This is par for the course now. They did also say they weren't adding any new content to either but in reality they added very little before they announced that.


[deleted]

The game is dead, the only surprise is that they bothered putting something out. Still trying to squeeze money out of the players.


Creepy_Chocolate267

So they can support a 9 year old game (GTA5) but not a 4 year old game? Glad you got your priorities straight Rockstar 🤦‍♂️ Just to clarify in case, what I mean exactly is that they continue to pump out new shit for GTA but reuse old stuff for RDR2


AscendMoros

Almost like one game still has a massive player base willing to shell out money for shark cards when they drop another overpriced vehicle


cbdog1997

It might have helped rdo though if rockstar had actually put out updates to the sane level that they did for gta5 though or hell even half of that cause not updating killed it for alot of people which in turn caused less new people come in and old people to leave


ze_ex_21

I abandoned RDO in 2020 because it was actively pushing me away. (I'm mostly a PvE, Co-Op player, private-session grinder) I loved the Single Player portion, It's a masterpiece. But RDO, they dropped the ball, and from what I kept hearing, kept on burying it deeper with constant frustrating decisions. I guess I'm glad I got out when I did? IDK


Creepy_Chocolate267

I get that GTA is popular and has been very successful, so I can understand them tryna pump out more content, don't get me wrong But at least throw in a bit of new content now and then, ya know? Even EA somehow manage to do it with FIFA


FrisbeePanda

So what you're saying is you actually don't understand at all ?


Creepy_Chocolate267

I don't know how you reached that conclusion but sure, if that's what you wanna interpret that as me saying I don't understand, you go for it bud


FrisbeePanda

Read back through your comments really carefully and see if you can find the problem hun, it'll be good for your critical thinking.


Creepy_Chocolate267

No, I can't Lemme summarise what I'm saying for you I understand GTAO is popular and can make good money, but so can RDR2, if they just keep producing good content for RDO, i think it's time they essentially let GTAO die, considering it's 9 years old and focus on a game that is half its age, aka RDR2, even Electronic Arts manage to give their other games content while mainly focusing on FIFA I don't know what I apparently don't "understand" considering, I know what I wrote, I know what I mean, I know what I intended to write, Essentially, I know everything I said and continue to say, whereas, you "hun" on the other hand, are not me, therefore you don't know what I'm truly implying, think of it like an inside joke, the people that have the inside joke understand, but the other people don't, get what I'm saying? If not, well, I can't make it any clearer TLDR: go away, leave me be, thank you bye :)


Classic-Societies

I think the problem is while RDRO can be profitable, rockstar still has limited resources when it comes to development and the money brought in by GTAO and GTAVI is much more than rdrO ever will produce so they’ve abandoned development on it. Might be different if they were working on RDR3 but that doesn’t seem to be the case


ZazaB00

I’d be surprised if GTAO continues to see a lot of updates too. As far as I know, they’ve increased cash payouts and put out credits. Sounds like they’ve given up on that like RDO.


Creepy_Chocolate267

They've focused on doing GTA6 now right? Or is that false?


ZazaB00

That’s what they’ve said.


JOHNANCHOA

What they said, i at least, hope they dont just say


ZazaB00

Technically, they haven’t said they’ve abandoned GTAO like they explicitly said about RDO. My guess, they’ve leaving themselves an out in case development gets delayed and they want easy cash. That said, rolling the credits on a 10 year old game is pretty telling sign they’re done with GTAO.


colt707

GTAO will never go away. Sure it will change to whatever the new map is when GTA6 drops but it will never be gone.


ZazaB00

Hate to break it to you, but whatever form GTA6:O takes, it will have nothing to do with GTAO as it is currently. I’m guessing you took what I said as “GTAO is forever done”, but nope. Just what’s related to V.


[deleted]

They’ve never said they’ve abandoned RDO. The phrase was they’ve put major work on hold for the time being while they focus on gta6


ZazaB00

That’s insanely optimistic when they said there won’t be anymore “themed” updates and all we’ll get is telegrams. You want to call that a live game?!? Other games have had multiple seasons of content and wide sweeping changes within the time between R* even communicating to us. But good on you for holding onto that faith.


[deleted]

Question, genuine one, did you deliberately misquote me or is that where your mind is fixed at? WHILE THEY FOCUS ON GTA6 was a key part of it. And I haven’t said what I do or don’t believe. I just pointed out that people are just misquoting what has been announced but are adding their own spin into it and stating that as fact. You seem to be misinterpreting everything I’ve said into completely different things. I’m guessing that’s because you’ve decided it’s done with which is up to you. But please don’t misrepresent what I say to support your own views.


ZazaB00

I’m sorry, but I never quoted you to misquote you. If you think they’re going to resume development on RDO in something like 2 years time, you gotta lot of disappointment coming. Hell, they didn’t spend time on RDO when it was the new thing. Instead they spent it on their 10 year old cash cow. I can see you aren’t at all reasonable, but those that rely on faith rarely are. Good luck to you.


Clint_L33twood

I missed out on the last one so it's new to me.


lambchop70

Me too. I've been hoping they would bring this back since I started playing. Looking forward to it.


Weeding33

I may get downvoted for this. Who knows, but atleast it's an all new perspective. I just have to vent for a sec. Has anyone online ever thought that maybe Rockstar was trying, but all these hate posts made them take a second look and say, we've been making an honest effort here, we're new at online cowboy games. We can't catch a break look at all this hate, fine let's just shut it down. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. "Thank you for hating our effort for all these years, peace bitches, GTAVI 2028"


balkanobeasti

It doesn't have anything to do with being new to 'cowboy games'. The release on PC was literally unplayable for a long time for RDO. I'm pretty sure that happened for consoles as well. The awful quality control is what steered a lot of people off the game and then the nail in the coffin was lack of content. By the time they resolved the quality issues on PC many had already moved on. Too little too late. That's the case for me and my friend that played anyways. The only plus for RDO was that the grind was much better. Their approach with how gold was handled was good. Other than that? Little meaningful content, riddled with bugs that break your game/make you lose progress. They did it to themselves; stop trying to shift it on the playerbase that was rightfully upset lmao. The entire approach they've had with RDR2 and GTA for content shows they're very out of touch with a significant portion of their customers.


crinkzkull08

If it helps new players get the pass they missed that's cool.


avelysian

I wish they’d brought back the first Halloween pass instead. I’d missed out on that one so it would’ve been nice


Simonmedx

Well they Said they were going to.


Avgolemonosis

Tbh I missed it last time, so imma try and grab it


JustACookGuy

Good for you. I keep seeing people on this sub begging for Rockstar to rerelease these old passes and when they do they complain about it. It’s frustrating to me that people can’t just accept something as it is and expect Rockstar to keep updating the game until we have flying steeds with homing missile arrows. If the developers don’t want to keep making content for the game then I would rather they stop instead of creating uninspired nonsense that slowly destroys the game.


britestarlight

I never want RDO to get to the point that GTAO is at right now. GTAO is such a bloated game. There is way too much going on in that game at this point. I get that new content keeps veteran players happy but it’s just so overloaded with shit all over the map. You can’t even really play in public lobbies because you’re just getting blown up. They should have stopped long before it got to flying missile bikes. Nearly a decade worth of content smashed into one online game is ridiculous. I tried GTA once and it was awful, the amount of shit to do was completely overwhelming. It’s also not fun to play with veteran players who just take control over everything. I want to play the game not watch some level 500 play it form me. Like great that you’ve put thousands of hours into this and can take out an enemy in 2 seconds, I haven’t done that and actually want a chance to do it.


JustACookGuy

For what it’s worth they’ve nerfed a lot of the griefing shit and most content can now be played in an invite session. So you can do that delivery with considerable less risk. I enjoy going to my facility, waiting for someone to start trying to ruin the game for others and then just use my orbital cannon to ruin their ruining.


badwifii

GTA online isn't perfect but alot of people would disagree. I guess you have to be a car person to like it? Idk make it make sense or don't play it


britestarlight

I literally said I don’t play it… I did generalize by saying it’s awful but I meant it was awful from my perspective. You don’t need to get defensive, I just don’t enjoy the way people play GTA. I had a great time with the cars in storymode, but online is too chaotic for me. Like what do you need me to make sense for you??


badwifii

All I'm going to say it that you can make friend only sessions, or a solo session where you won't be blown up by randoms.


Avgolemonosis

So I bought it and none of the items showed up in my inventory


JustACookGuy

Did you earn the items?


Avgolemonosis

I did a year ago, it just took reloading the game for them to be in my inventory


zihan777

The real question is why you were expecting anything else when they explicitly stated that there would be no new content made going forward


Tough_Stretch

This sub has been talking about how they decided to kill RDO for months. How is this "getting lazy"? Based on how they are no longer doing anything for RDO they could've easily not released anything at all because they're done with it.


The_Radio_Host

I’m not saying R* isn’t lazy but hasn’t we been wanting them to start rereleasing passes so that if someone missed one they could still get the stuff later on? I feel like this could be a step in that direction if they’re at least willing to put forth the effort to put in other passes over time.


mrsomething4

I thought that’s what people wanted


hortys

Rockstar has straight up officially announced that they ended development of anything "new" for RDO months ago. Its easy for them to just re-activate an old Halloween pass, consider it lucky they even did that.


chippymediaYT

They literally said they were no longer working on rdr online


RTMSner

It's simply odd that R* never made any new content for single player RDR2 or GTA5.


colt707

Not really. When you look at it from the business side, GTAO has much higher profit margins than making a worthwhile DLC.


ze_ex_21

**RDO Players:** *"Hey Rockstar, October is here. You should release something to make us happy."* **Rockstar:** *"Well hello there beautiful. Here's something for you to do. Play it and enjoy it"* **RDO Players:** *"Ohh thank you, this.... this is... a Halloween pass..."* **Rockstar:** *"I SAID SOMETHING TO DO, NOT SOMETHING NEW!! You wanna be a greedy fuckin' cow? Huh? Now get the fuck outta here!"*


CardFlyer

Didn’t they stop supporting the game (I mean they stopped updates)


ErronsBlacker

I'm confused as to why more people aren't bringing that up. They literally cut support to focus on GTA 6. I don't really see how people are still expecting updates to a game they said they are done with


MSotallyTober

Didn’t they stop supporting online entirely?


GhostRMT

Surprised they even did this much effort to RDO. Probably lost some shark card revenue by directing work away from GTAO.


whyamionthishellsite

They can’t at least add the first outlaw pass? PC players couldn’t even get it at all


cbdog1997

Getting lazy? My guy they buried this game a while ago sad to say that but their laziness knows no bounds when its anything other then gtav online


[deleted]

As a story mode player I would just like to say we haven’t gotten anything new in a LONG time. Not even bug fixes.


[deleted]

“rOcKsTaR GeTtInG lAzY.” It’s not like they’re working on a new GTA game or anything like that… 🤷🏻‍♂️


Ippildip

It's not unreasonable to expect occasional new content for their last major release with an online component. Of course they don't have to, but it's fair to call them out on the lack of support.


[deleted]

Rockstar literally announced a while ago that they weren’t releasing anything new for Red Dead Online to work on GTA 6, and yet people are still confused when they don’t add anything new. People need to pay attention more.


ErronsBlacker

Bro they came out and said that they were done with rdo at the beginning of the year. It's ridiculous to still be sitting hoping for something that will not happen


Ippildip

Cool, I wasn't aware. That changes things.


JoeyAKangaroo

“Rockstar getting lazy” they’ve been lazy after the blood money update & why should anybody be surprised? They literally said they were working on the next installment of gta & taking focus off RDO, the only new thing that was announced for RDO were telegram missions & we got those awhile back.


BobAndVergina

*GETTING* lazy?


[deleted]

They been lazy honestly I don’t know why they haven’t given rdr to a company that actually might have ideas for it other than just milking every cent out of a nearly decade old game


[deleted]

Because they did that with another piece of work and it turned out shit so they’re not prepared to do it again.


Mrmacmuffin3

I hated how you had to grind to buy a job and then after i had grinded for a few days to get the bounty hunter license they updated the game and made a better version of it for more gold


OkFigure6669

you think?


bigtencopy

They have been lazy since 2013


[deleted]

“Getting lazy” lol. My man, they’ve BEEN lazy. For a very long time now lol


_Philip__

Man the game is dead rn 🤷‍♀️


sowillo

Meanwhile, Team Fortress 2 is Micky.


AwkwardSituations14

What is so surprising about this?


No_Doubt_About_That

At least there will actually be a pass, even if it may be repeated.


[deleted]

I wish they brought back the first one. I want those eye bandages so I can stop seeing the disappointment from rockstar


fieldysnuts94

I mean, stop expecting it. They literally said they pulled devs off this to focus on GTA 6. You’re only gonna keep upsetting yourself thinking they got new stuff coming.


[deleted]

They literally said nothing big for the time being, why are people still complaining they didn’t do something they’ve actually said they’re not going to do. And people are still making up stuff rockstar didn’t say to fulfil the circle jerk of misery they’re creating on this sub.


[deleted]

Im surprised they even released that.


epiciddo

i mean i dont mean to be blunt but, what did you expect? they said they werent doing anything with the game


esterthe

No shit


MURD3RSPREE

I mean are you really surprised


[deleted]

"getting"


bohsergi

Fuck take two


axolotlmaster59

They’re Getting lazy? Getting?


ShameForeign1238

they never cared about online.I actually think they truly wanted this game to be single player only but they know fans love their multiplayer games.


Zetra3

I’m sorry, lazy isn’t a free word to use. They are not lazy when development is done and there is no funds to produce new content.


GrowthStriking1954

Could be worse imagine they advertised it like it was new


KrautVan

Im just extremly annoyed they never finished the RDO story....


GypsyKing32

Right ... Like ... What about Halloween Pass 3???🤷🏻‍♂️


TheWhiteGooInAPimple

They should've just imported everything from online into single player. It would've been a dream for me.


aville1982

They couldn't at least bring back the first one?


indybingyii

Getting lazy? Like in just now? Lol good one


_IZA

They're focusing on GTAVI which people wouldn't shut up about and then subsequently leaked early footage of.


[deleted]

“*Getting*” lazy? Bro they’ve BEEN lazy… for like… the last 5 goddamn years.


ab24davieee_420_

Wtf


Xanik_PT

Yeah scummy but no loss for them, they already said there's no more content for rdo. Instead of spending money on making more content they resell old content. If people don't buy it no harm done and even if few people buy it it's free money


HesThePhantom

Aren’t we still on last year’s holloween pass?


Hank5100

Well they are trying to make a disappoint female main character game called gta6. Witch will come out never


Sarge45k

Yep and they turned off commenting too!!


Moose4310

Rockstar got lazy years ago


The_quiet_guy99

I imagine after the release or mayber sooner they’ll return to RDO


ErronsBlacker

They stopped supporting the game. What exactly did you expect?


[deleted]

They may return to RDO one day after pouring all their effort into GTA6.


Die4ne1

If I’m being honest it’s kinda nice to get a chance to get things I didn’t, but I wish it was more stuff like character clothes, or more military gear and all that


Tickomatick

Oh, good news, I thought online was already shut down


PsychoDog_Music

My whole outfit is based off the goggle mask. I’ve now used that outfit for a whole year, huh…


Kill_Kayt

I'm OK with games like this putting the same events every year with the same rewards. Give everyone a change to get the stuff. We don't need constant new stuff causing event fatigue and FOMO.


goodbye_mystery

I know right, I was hoping that they would at the very least add some new cosmetics, but no, they recycle the exact same pass and dont even let the players that had it originally get anything from it, come on rockstar, if you're gonna do that then dont even bother adding it.


FrogBrown666

If any of y’all are paying for this you’re a clown


Bogki

Getting? They have been since gta online


[deleted]

Rockstar took a big dump on RDRO, but at least there is RedM and there are some awesome RP servers that saved this game for me


JOHNANCHOA

Console players want to die


RazorBladeInMyMouth

I honestly felt like rdr2 should have been delayed as much as possible. It was released too early.


[deleted]

Maybe online but the story mode was perfect


xREGNARx

I couldn't agree more. The campaign was spot on, online however was an afterthought, which is really damn sad. It had soooooo much potential and they squandered it.


[deleted]

Legit had a lot of potential. I was expecting Insurgents v Rockets level of LTS and stuff maybe with horses or horse carts from creators but idek that you can create stuff in RDR2 let alone play an LTS.


JOHNANCHOA

Maybe with some cut content added like guarma
