Some good news and bad news for you all, today. In case you missed it, Rockstar just announced that Red Dead Redemption is coming to PlayStation 4 and Switch later this month. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad news: These ports are extremely barebones, completely lacking multiplayer support, and seem to offer few to no visual upgrades over the original versions. This isn’t great, but it’s even worse when you remember that you can—right now—play a cheaper, better version on Xbox Series X/S.
…
Things only get worse when you look at what’s included in the new release. Yes, Rockstar is packaging Undead Nightmare and Red Dead Redemption together.
But on the flip side, store listings for the upcoming ports have confirmed that Red Dead Redemption on Switch and PS4 won’t include any multiplayer modes. Which then makes me wonder if any of the online DLC packs released for Red Dead Redemption, like “Liars and Cheats” or “Legends and Killers,” will be included. Probably not, but then does that mean the tomahawk weapon added in the second multiplayer DLC pack won’t be included?
Those two ideas don’t conflict with each other.
No, but they’re a public company, and you can see predictable profits from GTA 5. They’re not hurting for cash.
I feel like you have exactly the same evidence to support your claim as I do mine: none.
You can see their profit and loss statement every quarter with a quick Google.
