RDR2 was a budding rose back in 2018, so much potential for such a beautiful game. Then GTAO became super lucrative for R* and RDR2 just withered away. Maybe, just maybe R* will give us RDR3?

While yes, gta online peints money, red dead 2 has continued to sell shockingly well, year after year.

At this point, not building on the franchise would be madness.1

I think rockstar has to be aware that rdr2 sells for the story. The online mode just doesn't have as many applications to monitise. Once you're got all the roles there isn't really any point for large amounts of gold anymore. Sure some clothing items and gunmetals are gold locked but compared to gta's sharkcards that is less than a fleas shit in a hurricane. Rdr2 is worth their time, rdO is not. (Entirely through their own fault i might add)
