For example, I really want to find this image for RDR2, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet -- not on IGDB, not on the Rockstar official artwork page, not anywhere. Anyone know?


Here's an example of an image:

We don't actually know if igdb.com is the only place they are getting info (like images) from. I doubt they'd share anyway. :)
