EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND—Shocking the industry and resulting in outrage across the world, Rockstar Games admitted Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump had intentionally ordered the video game publisher to delay Grand Theft Auto VI. "I never really wanted to admit to this, but the guilt has been eating away at me ever since we delayed the game for the second time. President Trump made us delay the game," said Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive, detailing how the president had taken time out of his busy schedule of building ballrooms, dreaming of invading various sovereign nations, and hiding the Epstein files to demand that the highly-anticipated video game be delayed. "I'm not entirely sure why he wanted it delayed if I'm being honest. If I had to make a guess, he might be upset that we based Leonida [the fictional U.S. state in which GTA VI is set] off of Florida, and didn't include Mar-a-Lago or some other inane bullshit." Trump responded to the news later in the Oval Office, claiming that he demanded the game be delayed due to the protagonists, criminal couple Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, were "illegal aliens needing to be deported before they ate more dogs," seemingly not realising the characters are fictional. At press time, gamers on various social media platforms began joking about the news, with one Reddit user posting how "we got the president of the united states delaying gta 6 before gta 6 lmao."
