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.

00:00:32.800 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

00:00:48.720 worldwide speak turkish as their primary language while some turkish people they may speak additional 0.99
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
