Remember when we thought ofRed Dead Redemptionand didn’t think of drama, anger, and divisions? No? We feel you – we’re struggling too, especially now theRDRport has hit PlayStation 5.
What should, technically, be a source of joy is still a source of much anger. Ever since fans learned that they would be charged $49.99 for a game that’s 13 years old, they’ve been incredibly bitter aboutRDRmaking its way onto new-gen consoles.

Those be fightin’ words. Words which other fans are quick to support with their own insights into the whole saga that I’ll dub ‘the death ofRDR’. OrangeYawn said “An outdated game simply being ported doesn’t seem like a $20 price increase is justified”, to which justxkyle responded: “Well that’s because it’s not, my friend. It’s what we call a ‘non-gamer move’”.
Further down the thread, one gamer pointed out thatXboxplayers have a much better dealer in all of this, which is sure to only deepen the divide that some feel when it comes to the war of the consoles. 2OptionsIsNotChoice said “Don’t forget you can play the Xbox360 version on any modern Xbox console and it will run better than this full priced port due to Xboxs excellent reverse compatibility.”
It could be argued that now is the time to lay down arms and accept fate for what it is. However, with how fandoms struggle to go quietly into the night, we suspect this fury will continue for days, maybe even weeks yet.
