As it turns out, not all politicians have it in for Rockstar Games and Grand Theft Auto - or not for the usual reasons of kicking up misguided moral panic about the subject matter, at least. One particularly cheeky Polish politician even went as far as to show his dismay at the latest delay to Grand Theft Auto 6 - and did so in parliament, no less!
While the internet's reaction to Rockstar's decision to delay GTA 6 to November 19, 2026 for additional polishing (get it?), was predictable and understandable, no one could've predicted the controversial game making it all the way to the Polish Parliament, where the aforementioned elected official took to the floor to formally address the delay as a matter worthy of government attention.
During a session of the Sejm, Poland's lower house of parliament, Witold Tumanowicz took the floor to deliver what he described as an important parliamentary statement, saying:
Madam speaker, honorable members, as part of my parliamentary statement, I wanted to inform you about a very disturbing matter. An hour ago, Rockstar Games announced that the release of GTA 6 will be postponed until next year. This is a huge scandal. Frankly, if people don't take to the streets after something like this, I don't know what will happen.
Surprisingly enough, another parliament member actually responded to the statement. Paweł Szrot from the opposition Law and Justice Party stood to acknowledge his colleague's concerns, saying that he hoped the DLC for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord wouldn't face a similar delay. Seeing dedicated gamers in such positions is certainly validating to see!
