Red Dead Redemption 2 Contas, skins e baús

A licence is priced by where it lives. The game costs different money on Steam, on Rockstar's own store and on Epic, and the accounts on this shelf follow those prices in the same order — a Social Club login at the bottom, Steam above it, Epic above that. Nothing on the account moves that price much, because there is nothing on the account: the listings say «0 hours» and mean it. The Ultimate Edition sits a step higher, because it is a dearer product in every store.

The Online package is priced by what it contains, and the sellers write the contents in the title: gold bars, cash and the rank, in a named tier from «Paper» to «Diamond». Across those listings the gold tracks the price, and the rank inside the package tracks it almost perfectly — the packages are a ladder by design. Two thousand gold bars with a fortune in cash is the top of it.

Between two licences at the same store, the words are what differ. «0 hours» and «no ban» say the login has no history in Rockstar's eyes; «native» or «first» says the seller is the first owner and the email is original; «SC not linked» on a Steam copy says the Social Club link has not been made yet — you make it, to your own Social Club account, and the game is yours in both places.

Platform is a precondition on the packages and a wrapper on the licences. An Online character lives on the console family it was made on; a licence lives in its store. Neither is a price, and the platform filter tells you which family you are looking at.

Decide first whether you want the game or the Online head start. A licence is cheap and clean and plays the story from the first scene; a package is a console character with a rank and a bank, and costs what it holds.

For a licence, choose the store the way you would if you were buying the game new: Steam if you live in Steam, Social Club if you want Rockstar's launcher, Epic if that is where your library is. Then the edition. Then read the four words — hours, ban, native, linked — because they are the difference between two listings at the same store.

For a package, read the tier and the numbers inside it — gold, cash, rank — and the console family, which cannot change. A package is bought for its bank; check the bank on delivery, because Online money is spendable from the first session.

Then the words that say the account is yours to keep: «full data change», «change all data», the email included. On a shelf where the goods are licences, the mailbox is the purchase.

Rockstar bans for modding and cheating in Online, and a bought account carries whatever was done on it. That is why the licence listings say «0 hours» and «no ban» as features — a login that never launched the game has nothing to inherit — and why a package, which has hours by definition, is worth a look at the seller's record.

The login has two layers on this game. On Steam and Epic the game is owned by the store login and played through a Social Club account linked to it; on Rockstar's own store the Social Club account is the whole thing. A listing must say which login it hands over and whether the Social Club link is made or still yours to make; the email behind whichever login owns the game must come with it, or the previous owner can recover it.

Escrow covers the handover: the payment stays with us until you confirm the game launches from the login you were given, the edition is right and — on a package — the gold and cash are there. The warranty window runs from there. What it cannot cover is Online itself: a bank spent in the first session is spent.

Take the login before you play; on a licence that is the whole purchase, on a package it is what stands between the bank and the previous owner.

Say which product it is first. A licence: the store, the edition, and the four words — hours, ban, native, whether Social Club is linked — because that is how the shelf is sorted and how the store slices are built. A package: the tier and its contents — gold, cash, rank — and the console family. Say that the email comes with it. You keep your price in full; the buyer pays our fee on top.
