Red Dead Online players aren’t happy with how the in-game economy is shaping up, but Rockstar is listening and balance changes are coming.
Update: Red Dead Online has been in beta for almost a week now and Rockstar is already making some changes based on the feedback so far.
Much of the fan feedback has been focused on the in-game economy, which hands out small rewards for a lot of hard work. Rockstar has taken those criticisms on board and is working on rebalancing that rewards system. That’s what betas are for, right?
Rockstar put out a tweet to break the news:
“Thanks to everyone who has participated in the beta so far, we appreciate your help in testing the game! Your feedback in these early days will be instrumental in helping formulate updates in every aspect of the experience.
“Our current areas of focus include the in-game economy, which will require some additional balancing in order to ensure all activities are appropriately rewarding and fun, as well as some persistent bugs that are causing players to be kicked from sessions.”
Rockstar says it developed the game in such a way that it can make timely adjustments based on feedback received. You should expect to see some changes in an update at the end of this week, with more to come next week.
It’s good to see Rockstar paying such close attention to the voice of the community – especially when it comes to something as important and potentially lucrative like the economy.
