An economist estimates 1.5 million Americans will skip work when GTA 6 launches, potentially costing the US economy close to $1 billion in lost productivity. The math is simple: roughly 1.5 million absent workers multiplied by the average worker's daily GDP contribution lands right around that billion dollar mark, with young men and remote tech workers flagged as the biggest risk group. Funny enough, that number lines up almost exactly with what Take-Two expects to earn from the game during launch week. #rockstargames #gta6 #grandtheftauto6 #newsdrop #gaming
