Mark Slapinski - Rockstar Games Forgets About Turkish Players (GTA6)

00:00:00.000 Turkish speakers across the world have a big bone to pick with Rockstar Games.

00:00:04.400 The company has refused to provide Turkish subtitles for Grand Theft Auto 6,

00:00:08.640 making the game unplayable for millions of people.

00:00:11.360 GTA 6 is expected to be released in November of this year.

00:00:14.720 It is the most anticipated game of the decade, and it's setting world records for pre-orders.

00:00:19.840 The crime game will see a return to Vice City, however the map will be much bigger.

00:00:24.000 The game will be in English, but will feature subtitles for 12 other languages.

00:00:28.320 none of these languages include turkish and this has people on social media furious

00:00:32.800 the hashtag we want gta6 in turkish is currently trending on social media platform x despite the

00:00:38.320 pressure rockstar games they've not committed to providing turkish subtitles and i think this is

00:00:43.520 foolish for a lot of reasons let me tell you why the first argument is that millions of people

00:00:48.720 worldwide speak turkish as their primary language while some turkish people they may speak additional

00:00:54.720 languages there are many people that just feel more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue

00:00:59.840 and now if rockstar provides turkish subtitles they make more money so it just makes sense the

00:01:05.920 second reason and this is also important turkish people they're tired of being treated like second

00:01:10.560 class citizens just because they're located in west asia as opposed to europe providing turkish

00:01:15.600 subtitles sends the message that turkish people are just as important as europeans now i'm not

00:01:20.800 turkish myself but i have friends that are turkish when they asked me to use my platform to speak up

00:01:25.840 about this important issue i couldn't say no that's why i started a petition to draw attention

00:01:30.640 to this important cause my petition is going viral as we speak so if you believe in this

00:01:36.000 please check it out in the description. Talk to you next time.
