Some builders engaged on tasks for Google’s soon-to-be shut down Stadia cloud gaming platform have had the rug pulled out from below them (opens in new tab). Loads of players are shedding save progress and a go-to platform. Arguably nobody has been extra punked than YouTuber (opens in new tab) and TikTok (opens in new tab) creator Color, who, as reported by GamesRadar (opens in new tab), has over 6,000 hours (opens in new tab) on the Stadia model of Rockstar’s Crimson Lifeless Redemption On-line 2. All that rootin’ tootin’ cowboy enjoyable is about to be misplaced to time, like tears in rain.
6,000 hours is an completely staggering period of time to spend on something. This is not your traditional “spent an excessive amount of time on a sport,” that is 250 days. I have been an avid barbell and kettlebell lifter for 5 years, reaching some extent I might comfortably name “intermediate to superior.” Again of the serviette math places me at 1,500-2,000 hours actively pursuing certainly one of my principal hobbies in that point.
Additional manic, frenzied calculations lead me to conclude that 6,000 hours of RDR On-line 2 since its Stadia launch in November 2018 has Color averaging over 4 hours a day. For those who enable for a weekend, it is nearer to 6 hours. Granted, Color does do a number of content material creation for RDR On-line 2, being the “RDR On-line 2 on Stadia individual” is form of their factor, however I nonetheless discover this to be an completely maddening quantity of gameplay! That is my Pepe Sylvia (opens in new tab).
Neglect the logistics of all of it although, Color’s time funding in Crimson Lifeless On-line is in grave hazard of turning into a type of Libraries of Alexandria that is always burned down on the web each day. It would not must be this fashion.

There are strategies to switch single participant progress from RDR2 on Stadia to PC, simply not the multiplayer switch Color requires. Different builders with Stadia ports like IO Interactive (opens in new tab) and Bungie (opens in new tab) are actively engaged on strategies to permit gamers to switch their knowledge to a different platform.
Color, for his or her half, is hoping for a “one-time character switch” to avoid wasting their progress from the jaws of oblivion. We have reached out to Rockstar for remark, and can replace this story if we hear again.
I’ll not be capable to wrap my head round Color’s funding of time and psyche into Learn Lifeless Redemption On-line 2 on Stadia, however I can admire the devotion. I hope Rockstar is ready to assist them earlier than the winds of destiny blow Color’s progress away like some digital sand mandala (opens in new tab).
