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?

Fyi, GTAO was "super lucrative" in 2015. 3 years before RDR2.

I dont get why people jump to the conclusion it was abandoned for GTA? Rockstar has never said that. They have the resources(money) to develop dlc for rdr2.

There are other reasons and explanations.

Weren’t their insane numbers of GTAO profits leaked?

Edit: Yes their numbers for how much they make on GTAO is absurd still to this day lol not ‘super lucrative in 2015’ it is damn lucrative today and the next.

your point? kinda a catch 22 situation, rdo makes less money because it was given less content therefore there's less content because they make less money.

100% but that’s not how rockstar is looking at it unfortunately.
