Rockstar says that there are no ulterior motives behind the recent announcement that Grand Theft Auto V would be delayed from spring 2013 to Sept. 17.
According to a new report from Computer and Video Games, Rockstar insist that Grand Theft Auto V was delayed to ensure that it meets the company and consumer's expectations.
Here is the statement released by Rockstar: "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."
Here is the original statement regarding the game's delay from the Rockstar Newswire:
"Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September - we thank you for your support and patience."
