Red Dead Redemption 2 Online / Red Dead Online / RDO IS A SCAM!
For the love of god DO NOT play RDO! It is a scam that tries to suck every penny out of their players wallet. Typical Rockstar Online game. It is almost worst than GTA V Online which is saying something. It takes hours and hours to get stuff done and for what? A cool cosmetic? A gun that has slightly different stats? What’s the point? I have dumped over 30 hours into RDO in the past 3 days and I am not proud of myself.
I do not like what I have become, I feel dirty. I am hooked and I cannot stop thinking about this game. I have a genuine addiction that needs to be stopped. I have gone to sleep that best few nights praying that something would change. Praying that Rockstar would update the game for the players sanity, not to line their own pockets. You earn money like it’s 1885 buy the shops sell items like it’s 2021.
I hop on RDO to check how much money I have and my friend instinctively hops on too. We are hooked. I enjoy the gameplay loop too much. I would give my life and soul to this game if Rockstar made it a little more bearable to play. They have nerfed almost every single gold making method since Red Dead Online got its standalone release in December and I am distraught.
After over a day of hard effort and pure GRINDING this is my balance. I have not bought a single cosmetic item for myself. I have only bought the essentials (A Bow and a Reinforced Lasso), Food, and Ammunition. The map is so big that you need to fast travel everywhere spending your sweet precious money in the process. I HATE IT ALL AND I’M SAD TO SAY I AM ADDICTED.
I need to find something else to do/play I need a new hobby.
I will NEVER spend money on the P2W pyramid scheme. I don’t understand how we keep letting them get away with this.
I just bought the single player version of Red Dead Redemption 2 and I am excited to play it in the very near future. Hopefully this will break my everlasting addiction to the mutant online bastard child version of this critically acclaimed masterpiece.
