In the real world, one can be far away from friends and family. But games like Red Dead Redemption 2 bring people back together, even if only virtually. A story of two brothers is now moving the community of Red Dead Online.
This story moves players: On Reddit, player WilhelmRyan expresses his gratitude to Rockstar. Thanks to the developers, he was able to capture a beautiful moment with his brother in a screenshot.
He shared the screenshot with the community and wrote: “Fishing with my brother 3,000 miles away. Thanks, Rockstar.”
The story behind it: “I want to take the time to appreciate the fact that we live in a time where it is possible to fish next to your best friend – even if he lives on the other side of the country,” writes WilhelmRyan_.
Ryan explains how great he finds it that one can connect through a video game.
He doesn’t understand the people who complain that games don’t look good enough. Or that every new game is bad. He says one should just take a step back to appreciate what one has.
How often do the brothers play together? Ryan and his brother try to carve out about an hour every day to play together during the week.
On weekends, they try to play a lot more. He says that the experience he had with family and friends in online mode has already been worth the money.
How players react: “You are totally right. Thank you, I needed to hear that,” writes Vanpocalypse. Other players also write that they feel connected to their family through video games.
- “I really like this. My brother and I play a lot together, that hits home. Enjoy it,” writes JKarc.
- Player GnarlyNerd writes, “Yeah man. I have a brother who lives one state over and one in Germany. All three of us get together on the weekends to hunt and fish together.”
