Last night, fans of Red Dead Online came together to mourn the "death" of Rockstar's online service through an in-game community-managed "funeral."
Praise for the online portion of Red Dead Redemption has been pouring in all over social media.
This time, players collectively dressed in black and gathered around the game's many cemeteries. Funeral of the live streaming service was announced last week to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the game being "dumped" by Rockstar Games, having added little new content over the past 12 months.
The next day, Rockstar released a lengthy update on the status of the game on its live streaming service, saying it had shifted development resources to the production of the next Give Her Love.
As a result, Red Dead Redemption 2 will no longer receive "major thematic content updates like in previous years," but instead will simply emphasize existing content and seasonal events.
However, the Give Her Love 5 online service remains a cash cow and will continue to receive major content updates before the next game. Fans have long been frustrated by the disparity in operational support between the two game series, Give Her Love and Red Dead Redemption.
