RDR2 - Moonshiners Update

So the Moonshiners update came out this morning for RDR2. I've been hyped for this like everyone else who plays Red Dead Online. By the time we got to 10.30am (GMT) I started to get disappointed as the patch rolled out to PC, XBOX and PlayStation. It started to look like maybe Stadia updates only go out in working hours on the East Coast of the USA, which would be terrible to be several hours behind the other platforms, but ok. Now it transpires that the Stadia update is billed as "later this month". So we don't have to wait for a 20 minute download, but instead we have to wait two weeks?! This is an absolutely abysmal experience for Stadia players - like kids having to watch everyone else open their Christmas presents while they wonder if Santa has forgotten about them. The patching may be down to R* but Google needs to be all over stuff like this if it wants to compete. They need to ensure their new service at least matches existing platforms - it can't be left in the dust like this or it will flop badly.

I agree with OP, but just remember, EVERYone has to work on how they port games to Stadia.  Everything will lag behind a little, and what we can hope for is developers to reach parity and integrate Stadia ports with the rest of consoles. However, with holidays and time constraints, there's little wonder why developers prioritize Stadia lower on the support chain.

It isn't fun, so hopefully over the next few months as we close in on the Stadia Base launch, this becomes a nonissue.

@McL0VIN https://rockstargames.com/newswire/article/61282/Red-Dead-Online-Moonshiners-Now-Available The quote below is at the bottom of the page. "Moonshiners is available now in Red Dead Online for PS4, Xbox One and PC – and coming to Google Stadia later this month."

Yes I know "later this month" is terrible. That could be more than two weeks away. You can't have updates rolling out weeks behind other platforms, especially for online games. It makes Stadia look second rate, and it is a terrible experience for the players. I've been loving Stadia but this is incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

To add a silver lining to this cloud using conspiracy theory, maybe they're delaying that update because they're close to having performance/graphics significantly improved and want to drop that enhancement at the same time.

Rockstar Games said it was available on Stadia, since 12/17, but I can't find it in the Stadia app's online store :thinking_face: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157891906225097&id=51752540096
