6,000 hours is an utterly bonkers amount of time, and this gamer might lose all that progress.

on the Stadia version of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption Online 2. All that rootin' tootin' cowboy fun is about to be lost to time, like tears in rain.

6,000 hours is an utterly staggering amount of time to spend on anything. This isn't your usual"spent too much time on a game," this is 250 days. I've been an avid barbell and kettlebell lifter for five years, reaching a point I'd comfortably call"intermediate to advanced." Back of the napkin math puts me at 1,500-2,000 hours actively pursuing one of my main hobbies in that time.

Further manic, frenzied calculations lead me to conclude that 6,000 hours of RDR Online 2 since its Stadia release in November 2018 has Colour averaging over four hours a day. If you allow for a weekend, it's closer to six hours.

There are methods to transfer single player progress from RDR2 on Stadia to PC, just not the multiplayer transfer Colour requires. Other developers with Stadia ports like

You can't tell me that for all 6000 hours he was actually 'progressing'. Surely past a certain point it's just 'pissing about'!

Hilarious xd

Their fault for riding a dead horse. :P

You'll never get those hours back, but achievements are forever

They probably should get a real job now

😂

That's what happens when you poorly choose a gaming platform

All things are impermanent. If Google does not, or cannot, transfer the data elsewhere this will be one big lesson for this person.

my house maintenance guy bragging the other week about even tho he has high end rig (cause he saw mine using rtx2070 super ) he still used stadia on everything and telling me how everything is so much better. oh boy i wonder what face he'll make once he does my toilet nxt week

Almost every failed google products gave their user a chance to download every bit of data they upload or made on the web.

At that point it’s probably time to move on to a different game anyway 😅

Imagine not even considering this could happen

I mean... Its Google... He knew this was gonna happen

If he plays on Stadia I sure hope so

I hope he does.

🫡

The game doesn't transfer progress between platforms?

6,000 in RDR2 online, Man, I couldn't last more than an hour dealing with them cheaters on there, Singleplayer was amazing though.

But Stadia shutting down was just a matter of time. I tried to tell him, but he gave me the “it’s the future” reply.

250 x 24 so you played it 24 hours per day for 250 days....ok sure

...Ouch.

Might lose -- will lose. Rockstar dont care a shit.

I would like rockstar to actually put some time into Red dead online. sure GTA online is more popular. you know why? because they actually put time and effort into it. If red dead online was actually dropping dlc people would actually be playing.

'Stadia' 💀💀💀

That's a serious gaming addiction.

How much sugar or caffeine is consumed in order to stay awake for a huge amount of time? No way...

Rockstar isn't going to care. They don't care about anything RDR2 Online related.

Maybe he can get a life now 😁

And here’s another reason why I despise online games. Online games fucking stinks

superfans don't stadia

6000 hours...wow that is some commitment.

Maybe he can finally check into a clinic.

The guy should get a life. Just saying.

Not might… he will.

Its a shame. This is why Blockchaingaming will be a big part in the future of gaming. Get ownership over your character, gear and time spent!

He’s played Red Dead Online longer than Rockstar has worked on it.

I had 6k hours in MHFU alone lmao

Should prob go to a park. Get some sun...

The simple solution would be to tie your character to your social club account rather than the platform. Something that Activision actually got right (despite its many wrongs) with call of duty. Cross platform should get a standard at this point and exclusives should be dying out

A risk you take when you go with a product that was destined to fail. Stadia’s fate was written on the wall when it was released.

Over 11k hours in csgo here I'd cry lol

stadia lol

Typical Google. Should have checked Googles history.

That's nothing compared to what MMORPGs players put in some games that most likely endup failing and get closed if they're not wow/ff. I get he is disappointed but whinning won't do anything.

6000 hours, only a part time gamer I see 😎

Tough shit

Why the hell would you get the Stadia version of this game

When you play any digital media, you understand that one day it will no longer be available to you. Ive got twice this guys numbers in World of Warcraft. I know one day, Blizzard will die and I will have nothing.

Its time to find a new hobby and consider this freedom from the shackles of video game oppression.

Lol the rent it hi he lives in pc

He's such a lovely chap, it is a real shame! GoogleStadia straight up lied to its players about its long term strategy GoogleCloud and then blamed others for closing it without warning!

I do hope something gets arranged for this guy but dropping so many untransferable hours into a fucking stadia game is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Everyone knew this thing was going to flop.

Whelp, stadia at least stuck around for longer than we thought google would bother with.

Rest in Piece my guy

6,000 HOURS!?

6k hours is a lot to lose, I’m just thinking what could the person of done for that many hours on Red Dead?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Sucks to suck. Should have played on a real system. Fuck streaming.

Sounds like a good thing. This person should probably do something else now. O_o

Must suck but...he was using the stadia. Kinda had it coming

This would be a non-issue if Rockstar didn’t avoid cross-progress so they could sell more copies.

6k hrs that's not bonkers. Trusting a cloud gaming platform... Now that's bonkers

lol stadia

Ooooooof

And he still hasn't gone to sew Thomas Downes

Hahaha

Wouldn’t it save to his R* social account ?

Whether or not Stadia sucks balls, losing 6k hours on any platform is enough to make you stop gaming. That really, really sucks.

😂 sucks to suck

You refund it by giving us the goddamn Undead Nightmare 2 like we all wanted.

That sucks, he should of just owned the game if he was planning on putting in that many hours. Just sayin…

What does one do for that amount of time in that game

I didn't know anyone even used Stadia

That honestly DOES suck, as someone who has lost a lot of progress in games before for various reasons. Aren't they forced to log onto the Rockstar server to play? Surely there's a way to save or carry it over.

No one cares.
