No, we don't need Red Dead Redemption 3, we need to learn that too much of a good thing will ultimately ruin it

Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2.

There's something in the air again – see here: winter – and if you're like me, you're probably retreating to your comfort games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is on everybody's lips once again, whether because you're in the middle of a replay or you're reading up on what Rockstar's co-founder has said about it this time.

After reading Dan Houser's comments on how sad he'd be if a Red Dead 3 were to be made, I was surprised to read so many comments in staunch disagreement. Yes, Arthur Morgan's gripping journey is one of the best open world games of all time, with one of the most memorable storylines and casts of characters in the biz. But that's exactly it: Red Dead is, as Houser describes it, "a cohesive two-game arc", and a third game purely for profit and popularity's sake risks diminishing how special it is.
