There are still stories in gaming that end well. YouTuber ItsColourTV loves Red Dead Redemption 2 and has spent 6,000 hours playing the MMO version, Red Dead Online, of the masterful game. But the surprising end of Google Stadia would have cost him any progress. He just couldn’t get away from the dying platform. But his call for help is finally increased.

This was the story: On October 2nd, we reported on MeinMMO about the YouTuber “ItsColourTV”.

  • At that time he had spent 5,900 hours with Red Dead Redemption 2, found friends in the western epic, earned items and had a lot of fun. For him it had become almost like a second world.
  • But he played on Google Stadia: a platform that Google first announced and promoted, only to surprisingly close Stadia: The gaming service is scheduled to end on January 18, 2023.
  • There was no way for the YouTuber to transfer their progress from Google Stadia to another platform. He said it wasn’t just him who would soon lose everything he had earned – there were many others stuck on Stadia with him who loved Red Dead Redemption 2 and are now losing everything.

    This happened afterwards: The story about the YouTuber went around the world.

    Many news sites picked up the stories. Every gamer could understand what a difficult situation that was. You know how difficult it is for gamers to say goodbye to their MMOs and “their stuff” they’ve earned.

    What does the player say? He thinks it was mainly due to the amount of attention his story has received from gaming journalists and content creators.

    The reporting would have only drawn attention to his case. Thank you for saving an entire community.

    This is an example of how a fan campaign that got attention really made a difference. Trying to “save” the entire Red Dead Redemption 2 game, on the other hand, didn’t go so well:
