Red Dead Online has yet to reach the lucrative heights of, say, Grand Theft Auto Online, and players are pretty frustrated with the lack of things to do in the game.
Rockstar Games is still providing regular updates for Red Dead Online players, but it’s rare to see anything other than a few tweaks, some minor (usually XP-related) events and some new cosmetic items. What players really want to see is some gameplay tweaks and additions, like when GTA Online got its Casino update last year.
Frustrated players are now protesting Rockstar Games in the hopes of getting some meatier updates, and they’re going about it in a very unique way.
Red Dead Online is currently being flooded with players dressed as clowns, paying homage to the idea that Rockstar is treating its players like clowns with the sub-par updates.
All across social media, gamers are sharing snaps and clips of themselves protesting against the game’s lacklustre gameplay, and to be fair, it looks like one helluva event.
The idea to protest was seemingly formed by Twitter user OnlyPVPCat, who then formed a Discord group which successfully filled an entire server with players dressed as clowns. The group has now evolved to include different types of circus performers, because why not.
Check out some of the protestors in the clips below.
Rockstar Games has yet to responds to the “clowning around,” but hopefully we’ll see some new RDO content before the year is out. If not, at least there’s now a clown-friendly online game for you to jump on into.
There’s another clown event planned for later in the week. If you’re a Red Dead Online fan and you want to get involved, all the details can be find via the Discord group.
