Happy anniversary to one of the most influential games I’ve ever played. Red Dead Redemption was the first video game to make me cry, to make me realize that video games were so much more than pixels on a screen. Thank You, John Marston. Thank you @rockstargames 🖤 pic.twitter.com/RJJbkw1zX9

John Marston's story connected with players.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years since Red Dead Redemption hit store shelves... What a game. So many great memories, from the epic tale of John Marston and his journey to grinding hideouts with friends to earn max prestige and unlock the zebra in online.https://t.co/Od1oY856fI

It's always great to see how games form bonds between the people who play them.

I met my best friend playing Red Dead Redemption MP and he was best man at my wedding, me and him used to just sit at Tanners Reach with shotguns and wait for Cougars. Good days Happy Ten Years

The game even inspired some to work in the video game industry!

#RedDeadRedemption is 10 today. 🤯

This title inspired me to pursue a career in #GameDev. When I interviewed for my first studio position I nerded out HARD discussing it, and later learned that the passion I exhibited helped me land the job.

So here's a hearty "cheers" to RDR! pic.twitter.com/PkDiDyZeou
