YouTuber @ItsColourTV (opens in a new tab) took to Twitter shortly after the announcement that Google Stadia closes broke yesterday. “No you don’t understand how pissed off I am,” reads the tweet, along with a screenshot showing they put 5,907 hours into Red Dead Redemption on Google’s play service. .

“For context: these hours are on Google Stadia and today Google announced that they will be shutting down the platform,” said one. follow-up tweet (opens in a new tab) reads, “@RockstarGames please let us do a unique character transfer, I beg of you.” If you don’t know, once Google shuts down its Stadia service on January 18, 2023, ItsColourTV’s progress will be entirely erased from existence, which means they’ll have to start a new save file on another platform – with every 5907 hours (about 246 days) will get lost.
It seems other Red Dead Redemption players felt sympathetic towards ItsColourTV, with many responding to the tweet with suggestions on how to save this player’s save. A suggested (opens in a new tab) that ItsColourTV uses Google Takeout – a data download service – to transfer its file to a PC, to which it replied“I don’t play story mode.” Rockstar, if you’re reading this, do our guy a favor and let him transfer his character just once.
