GTA V delay: Rockstar denies 'nonsense' conspiracy theories

Rockstar sets some fans straight.
The GTA-maker recently announced a 4 month delay for the eagerly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V title, due in September 2013. There were many questions about the delay with some theories ranging from finance issues to a sign of next generation console launches.

While that is to be expected, Rockstar Games seemed to be annoyed enough by some of the feedback it received on its own website that it posted a message warning users that, "general rules of common courtesy, decency and behavior as listed above the Comment Box still apply here, therefore anyone continuing to post abusive comments will have their privileges suspended."

Then the message singled out users who were alleging that all is not as it seems...

"To those of you saying or seeing various conspiracy theories about there being some other ulterior motive for this delay, rest assured that they're all nonsense – literally the only reason we've delayed the release is because we want the game to be as good as it needs to be.

Well let's hope it is as good as it needs to be!

People bitch when a game is rushed out and has bugs and other problems.

People bitch when a game is delayed to avoid those bugs and make the game better.

Nope. And that's why we are in a social and intelligence decline.
