Populäres Videospiel: Angebot an US-Soldaten: Längerer Dienst für Tage mit GTA VI
Millionen Gamer sind aufgeregt vor Erscheinen des Videospiels „GTA VI“ im November. Ein Bataillon im US-Militär nutzt den Hype, um Soldaten zu einer Verlängerung ihrer Dienstzeit zu bewegen.
The US military is offering an extension of two to six years of service in exchange for four days of free time with the video game "GTA VI," according to 20 soldiers from a battalion in Georgia. This incentive was intended to find something that aligns with the interests of soldiers, said an Army spokesman to CBS News and the website Military.com.
The offer was targeted only locally to about 130 soldiers from one battalion. They had the choice to extend their service by two to six years. Excitement for the release of the next "Grand Theft Auto" game has been great, with pre-orders already running since the end of June. The hype is massive. With an estimated budget of over a billion dollars, "GTA VI" could become the most expensive entertainment product in history.
Its predecessor sold over 200 million copies since its release in 2013. "Grand Theft Auto" is one of the world's most famous video game series, first published in 1997. The setting for "Grand Theft Auto VI" is a fictional version of the US city Miami. In the trailers released so far, there are scenes of high-speed car chases, fast boats, beaches, weapons, and crocodiles.
