Red Dead Redemption multiplayer launched with so many bugs, lead dev thought Rockstar was being hacked: "Is somebody trolling us? What's going on?"
Kris Roberts, lead multiplayer designer for Red Dead Redemption at Rockstar Games, recounted the chaotic launch of the game's multiplayer mode. He described experiencing severe bugs, including players riding chickens and flying, which led him to initially suspect the game was being hacked. The team eventually identified a bug involving resource-heavy gold bags from competitive modes appearing in free roam, which they fixed with a script deployed rapidly via title storage.
