00:00:00 Turkish speakers across the world have a big bone to pick with Rockstar Games.
00:00:04 The company has refused to provide Turkish subtitles for Grand Theft Auto 6,
00:00:08 making the game unplayable for millions of people.
00:00:11 GTA 6 is expected to be released in November of this year.
00:00:14 It is the most anticipated game of the decade, and it's setting world records for pre-orders.
00:00:19 The crime game will see a return to Vice City, however the map will be much bigger.
00:00:24 The game will be in English, but will feature subtitles for 12 other languages.
00:00:28 none of these languages include turkish and this has people on social media furious
00:00:32 the hashtag we want gta6 in turkish is currently trending on social media platform x despite the
00:00:38 pressure rockstar games they've not committed to providing turkish subtitles and i think this is
00:00:43 foolish for a lot of reasons let me tell you why the first argument is that millions of people
00:00:48 worldwide speak turkish as their primary language while some turkish people they may speak additional 0.99
00:00:54 languages there are many people that just feel more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue
00:00:59 and now if rockstar provides turkish subtitles they make more money so it just makes sense the
00:01:05 second reason and this is also important turkish people they're tired of being treated like second
00:01:10 class citizens just because they're located in west asia as opposed to europe providing turkish
00:01:15 subtitles sends the message that turkish people are just as important as europeans now i'm not
00:01:20 turkish myself but i have friends that are turkish when they asked me to use my platform to speak up
00:01:25 about this important issue i couldn't say no that's why i started a petition to draw attention
00:01:30 to this important cause my petition is going viral as we speak so if you believe in this
00:01:36 please check it out in the description. Talk to you next time.
