Dear Rockstar Games,

As members of the Arab community, we come together to express our deep concerns regarding the potential localization of Grand Theft Auto VI into Arabic. This game, known for its explicit content, immoral themes, profanity, and violence, stands starkly against our cultural and religious values. Localizing such a game into Arabic would deeply disturb a significant segment of our community who find its content wholly unacceptable.

The Arab world is rich in tradition and deeply rooted in values that prioritize respect, morality, and ethics. Gaming has become an integral part of our lives, and while we support creativity and entertainment, we firmly believe that the line must be drawn when content contradicts our core principles. For many Arabs, enjoying such a game, especially when presented in our native language, is akin to compromising our faith for mere entertainment—a choice that fundamentally opposes our values.

While we recognize the global appeal of Grand Theft Auto, shifting its reach by making it accessible in Arabic suggests an endorsement of its themes within our culture. This poses a risk of normalizing content that could steer young adults and teenagers away from our collective moral compass. Additionally, translating its explicit material into Arabic does not serve the major segment of Arab gamers who adhere to and respect cultural and religious tenets.

Rockstar Games, a company with a diverse portfolio, has the opportunity to consider games that are inclusive of all values and cultures. We urge you to issue a public statement respecting the cultural sensitivities and collective values of the Arab community by opting not to localize Grand Theft Auto VI into Arabic. At the same time, we encourage the production of new games that align with global cultural diversity, including values cherished by Arab users.

Any decision to localize GTA VI into Arabic might be seen as valuing profits over principles, inadvertently causing distress to a significant part of the potential audience in the Arab world. It is crucial for multinational game developers like you to hear and respect the community's preferences and values.

By abstaining from this localization, Rockstar Games can set a precedent in respecting cultural differences and showing genuine inclusivity. We trust that you will consider the weight of this decision with the same sincerity you have shown in your commitment to creating memorable gaming experiences.

We call on individuals and communities across the Arab world and beyond to support this petition in safeguarding our shared values and ensuring that our gaming entertainment does not come at the expense of our beliefs. Please join us in signing this petition to convey our unified request to Rockstar Games.
