As the November 19 release date for Grand Theft Auto VI approaches, the cultural impact of the game is already being felt in unexpected ways. A university professor has projected that the launch could lead to 1.5 million Americans calling in sick to work to play the game, resulting in a massive economic ripple effect.
The study estimates that this surge in absenteeism could cost the American economy approximately $1 billion in lost productivity within a 24-hour period. This prediction underscores the immense scale of anticipation surrounding the title, which has already seen millions of pre-orders.
