Rockstar heeft genoeg van de vele online cheaters van Red Dead Redemption, daarom zullen ze deze persoonlijk thuis opzoeken en mee nemen naar de woestijn om ze in hun achterhoofd te schieten. Nah dat was fantasie, want Rockstar zal binnenkort voor beide consoles een patch uitbrenge en wie er betrapt is met cheaten uit de game verbannen. Goed om te zien dat er toch word opgetreden.

We'd just like to let all fans and players of Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer know that we're aware a few rotten apples persist in the online world, trying to make the experience unpleasant for everyone else. Obviously, these Multiplayer modes can be great fun when everyone is on the up-and-up, so to ensure we preserve the integrity of gameplay for all online, we are actively working on new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on.

Our next title update, planned for release on both Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network within the next month, will include measures to counter hacking and cheating. Those who have been detected to be cheating beyond a shadow of doubt will be promptly banned from the Red Dead online world for a period of our discretion.

Additionally, the title update will provide some anti-grief relief with some new features in Free Roam. Those who are being bullied repeatedly in Free Roam will be given the option to flee by Transporting and respawning in a region of the map of their choosing. And those who are bullying repeatedly will face a new challenge: when a player gets a 6 kill streak in Free Roam, they will become "Most Wanted." This alerts other players of their status as a player-killer, and also sends NPC law response after them.

Expect that we'll continue to monitor the lay of the land and fight the good fight via future title updates to make sure everyone's multiplayer experience is as fair and as fun as can be.

Thanks to everyone for all of your support and your patience - and we'll see you online...
