You'd think for a company as prestigious as Rockstar that their titles wouldn't be held up by sticks and stones but here we are. Red Dead Online is completely unplayable without unauthorized services.

Try to join a session? Crash.
Try to join off of a friend? Game says you're not friends.
Brute force your way into their session via the Posse Invite? Game says you're not friends AND a crash.
Finally make your way into a session without the game itself crashing you? A Fortitude user teleports to you, calls you the N Word, then crashes you.

I get it. Rockstar is investing all their money into making sure their Cash Cow GTA5 isn't compromised. But this is just awful. I love this game but I can't play this anymore.
