Fans Question the Source
The Easter egg was shared by a player on the r/reddeadredemption subreddit, first spotted by the Gaming Bible, sparking discussions among fans. Some players questioned the realism of the in-game journalists knowing specific details about Micah’s end. One user asked how anyone could have stumbled upon Micah’s body in such a remote location.
The mystery is partially solved during the game’s credits, where two Pinkerton agents are seen discovering Micah’s corpse in the mountains. These agents, known for their investigative roles throughout the game, likely gathered the information that later appeared in the fictional newspaper.
