Rockstar Giving Red Dead Cheaters a Chance at Redemption

Although it plans to execute cheating gamers with a revolver loaded with banhammer-branded bullets next Tuesday, Rockstar San Diego is giving Red Dead Redemption frauds one last chance to save themselves from the upcoming hail of bullets.

Players who do not want their Gamertags and/or PSN ID permabanned from the Western-themed shooter's online mode can redeem themselves by deleting all hacked games saves currently housed on their console. Yes, that also includes single-players saves. According to Rockstar, players who remove all that filthy content will walk away from the Great Banning of August 24 unscathed.

For a more detailed breakdown of the upcoming banhammer extravaganza, check out Rockstar Games' official blog.

Isn't your level information saved on the server and not in local save game files? That would make more sense.

I found that cheating in games is a good way to ruin that game's fun forever. If you break the rules of the game, the game itself 'feels' broken, and even small children tend to ignore toys that are broken.

Ok so let me get this straight... They're going to BAN people for cheating in their SINGLE PLAYER games? Really?

Having not played this game, is there something I'm missing here? Is there an online advantage to be had by cheating in single player?

Reading the clever opening line made me think it would be super epic to actually have public hangings of known cheaters in-game. How it would be accomplished, I have no idea.
