User blog comment:JackFrost23/Effects of GameSpy Shutdown on Red Dead Redemption/@comment-6005366-20140928175717

Recently Redemption multiplayer was very damage because of mods, cheats and hacks, being unplayable for those who want to "play well". It was also a 1xp per second glitch that helped a lot of players to get to level 50 in minutes. It was released a patch in June for those glitches and more, but I didn't see many players in the online.
