That touching up got outsourced to a tiny company that had never done anything but mobile games. There were like a dozen people working on that, and what was just a touch up of one game became the trilogy with only like 3 months notice. So as shitty as the end product was, Rockstar fucked them.

Oh absolutely, Rockstar fucked them but I would imagine they are doing the same deal with RDR. They have Double Eleven doing this rerelease.

Damn. As much as I love and recommend RDR to people who haven't played it, this is inexcusable. The original release was buggy af too. A full remake with quality of life improvements is what should've happened.

I just wanted to make sure people weren't shitting on the people who worked their asses off thanklessly. Yeah, it sucked, but I can't blame them. Rockstar is making greedy decisions because they're too comfortable that we'll eat whatever bullshit they throw our way.
