I have explained this many times. Perhaps this time it might stick:

Red Dead Redemption is no longer a revenue stream for R*. Meaning they do not make a significant enough amount of money from it to consider it profitable. As such, they will not be spending any money on it to police or maintain the servers.

We'll be losing the Social Club connection and the PS3 will lose the leaderboards when GameSpy shuts down it's service at the end of May. Whether R* takes this as an opportunity to patch the servers so it can be played again is anybody's guess. I'm not too optimistic that they'll actually do anything, honestly.

And if they don't at least occasionally police the servers, GLITCHED MATRIX and fucktard friends will just ruin it again.

Short of players actually paying R* a small monthly fee to upkeep the game, I'm not sure what incentive would make them want to fix the game.
