Original: GTA 6 launch could drain $1 billion from US economy — this is how

Analysts frame it as a striking example of how a single entertainment launch can briefly dent productivity.
Why now: GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated game launches ever, and the projected economic impact is a novel talking point.
