Will GTA 6 Cost the US Economy $1 Billion in Lost Productivity?

Planning to take launch day off work? You definitely won't be the only one. Anticipation for GTA VI is reaching such insane levels that the game's release could temporarily paralyze part of the workforce. A respected professor and analyst estimates Rockstar's blockbuster could end up costing the US economy as much as $1 billion in lost productivity. The hype is officially taking over mainstream news in North America. Major networks like FOX TV are now running live segments with gamers to explain a bizarre reality: why millions of employees are already planning to take leave or call in sick just to grind Vice City nonstop. This is no longer just a major video game release, it's a full-on cultural disruption. Between advance vacation requests and a predicted spike in fake sick days, businesses are bracing for impact. Start drafting your excuse now, because when the game drops, half the office will be offline.
