Red Dead Online players dress up as clowns due to lack of updates

It has been quite some time since Rockstar last released a significant content update for Red Dead Online and it appears that players are starting to get restless. As part of a movement within the Red Dead Online community, players have begun dressing up as clowns to protest the lack of updates. 

The last major update to Red Dead Online, ‘Moonshiners', shipped in December 2019, bringing new missions, challenges, gear etc. Since then, things have been very quiet. In an effort to get Rockstar's attention, the subreddit ‘Red Dead Fashion' proposed the idea of players dressing up as clowns for the month of July.

An admin on the Red Dead Online Discord server spoke with Polygon about the movement, saying that the community opted to go in this direction to keep things positive, rather than letting it “turn negative or nasty”, which can often happen in gaming communities.

So far, Rockstar hasn't responded, but it is always great to see online players grouping together in a fun way like this. Hopefully Rockstar will notice and give some form of update on what's next for Red Dead Online.

KitGuru Games: Corporate nonsense has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy as game removed from over 170 countries

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
