If you are a fan of Red Dead Online, the multiplayer off-shoot of the massively successful Red Dead Redemption 2, the past few months haven’t been good to you. The #SaveRedDeadOnline campaign is a testament to player dissatisfaction with the state RDO has found itself in. While GTA Online has seen stellar treatment from Rockstar Games in comparison, players in the Wild West have seen their beloved title atrophy.

This dissatisfaction has manifested in several ways, from disgruntled posts on forums to the aforementioned hashtag on Twitter. Fans have been aching to see Rockstar Games reinvigorate this fan-favorite title. But these efforts have largely been in vain, and despondent fans slammed Rockstar on their recent Twitter post.
New patches are coming next week for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition across all platforms. We appreciate the community’s patience and support.

Red Dead Online fans slam Rockstar Games
For the uninitiated, RDO fans have been campaigning for the developer to reinvigorate the multiplayer title. Its sister game GTA Online has proven itself to be quite the golden goose for Rockstar; accordingly, it has been the focus of the developer’s efforts. What this means for RDO fans is while GTA Online received seven colossal updates, RDO was left in the dust.
Significantly, the Diamond Casino Heist, Cayo Perico Heist, and The Contract were major updates for GTA Online, which gave players immersive new locations and content. However, RDO saw its weekly events transition into monthly ones and did not receive its major December update.

These developments have culminated in disappointed fans finding avenues to let their anger known. And Rockstar Games had to endure that anger with their latest tweet.

This fan slammed Rockstar for not acknowledging the Red Dead community.
Its honestly disgusting how many R* fanboys defend R* screwing Red Dead Online. The community should be united against this corporate greed.I never imagined I would see people defending a company not acknowledging their fans and trying to get them to give up. #SaveRedDeadOnline

Red Dead fans want to be appreciated.
How about appreciating the Red Dead Online communities patience and support? You couldn't even be bothered to share a thank you post mentioning RDO this year. Shameless. pic.twitter.com/gPUocl8H3Y

Players are warning others to not expect much from Rockstar.
Don’t expect much, look at red dead. What they actually made was a masterpiece, yet look at what happened, it’s not bringing in the money like gta online, which is their choice due to the flow of money it brings in, and they STILL ignore what people want even there.
