Forever in our hearts. — John M (@JohnM90GTA) I find quite fitting to be in an abandoned graveyard like Odd Fellow's rest as a tribute to the abandoned online — DSBM (🌚) (@DanielSantosBl2) July 13, Funeral Day⚰️
What a sick day, a bad day..
RIP🙏🏽🪦 — Baptiste Ghezzo (@BaptisteGhezzo) A beautiful game, ruined and abandoned because of greed. — The Mannis (@RazzMahTazzz) What a great community

Red Dead Online‘s player base has decreased as of late, sure, but Rockstar’s lack of support has left dedicated fans feeling burned. Imbalance is the real tragedy that brought fans out to the graveyard today.
