GTA 6 to Drain $1B From US Economy With Take-Two Expected to Bank the Same Amount

Roughly 1.5 million Americans could skip work for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) on November 19, one economist estimates. The lost output may reach $1 billion in a day. Game publisher Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) forecasts more than $1 billion in operating cash flow this fiscal year. The figures match neatly, yet they measure different things. Can the $1 Billion GTA 6 Sick Day Figure Be Trusted? Economist José García Montalvo of Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona is the source of the projection, IBTimes reported. It is an academic estimate, not an official forecast. However, his interview with Spanish broadcaster Cadena SER gave no worker headcount, according to a second IBTimes report. The 1.5 million figure surfaced later.
