@kyleforrester87 Except they could easily require an Internet connection to verify though. In this case, all this would be silly, since you need an Internet connection to play the game, so they can easily restrict on their end.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi You're wrong. It's very possible to make a disc unplayable before a certain date. It's probably very easy for a developer to do if they wanted to. When you put the disc in, it starts reading files, all they would need to do is put a date restriction on the files in there and have instructions to check if the date on the system match the date in the files. If it's before the required date, the files would simply be impossible to read. You wouldn't even need a patch for that, the files would unlock when date is reached, however they would make you connect to Internet to verify the date because one could simply go offline and change date otherwise.

Dozens of rumors or news about RDR2 have popped up in the last few years.

Every time one comes up, all I can think is: Pfff, another one of those.

Guess what, it's likely not gonna happen this time as well.
