Moreover, a part of theRed Deadcommunity is running a #SaveRedDeadOnline campaign on social media to show their frustration with Rockstar. The campaign was again in the news due to some newRed Dead Onlinebounty hunting rewards announced in a Twitter post. According to the post, Rockstar will reward licensed bounty hunters who have completed 5 Legendary Bounties by giving them the tan Tied Pants. The tweet also includes a link to the Rockstar Newswire, which contains more information about the new rewards. Besides the licensed bounty hunters, allRed Dead Onlineplayers who log in this month will get 5 Special Horse Revivers. Naturally, the post in question sparked an explosion of re-tweets and replies from fans who were extremely vocal about their resentment.
Most of the re-tweets and replies criticized Rockstar Games for disregarding fans and accused the developer of killing the game. These fans feel they deserve more high-quality content and took regular jabs at Rockstar. Many users accused Rockstar of abandoningRed Dead Online, while others ridiculed the reward for being pathetic and substandard. One particularly annoyed user said he’d be happier if Rockstar gave them nothing instead of this second-rate reward.
Time and again, fans have shown their discontent towards Rockstar Games for ignoring their requests. One popular proposal was regarding the issue of addingReal Estate and Vehicles toRed Dead Onlineto improve the game, which is yet to be seen.
Despite complaints, some features ofRed Dead Onlineare appreciated by the fanbase, like its intuitive character creator. Players use it to create severalfictional characters inRed Dead Onlinelike Gandalf from theLord of the Rings, Princess Leia fromStar Wars, Rorschach fromWatchmen, etc.
