GTA 6: The video game of video games
Rarely has success in the entertainment industry been as predictable as with GTA 6. The gangster game has become a pop culture phenomenon - and draws comparisons with "Wetten dass..?" and James Bond.
Helen Krüger, a 29-year-old gamer, is among over 10 million people eagerly awaiting the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) on November 19. The game's developer, Rockstar Games, is expected to reward 13 years of fan patience with what is anticipated to be the biggest new game ever. Some fans, including Krüger, are planning to take time off work to play the game, with one Spanish economist estimating that GTA 6 could lead to 1.5 million absences in the US, resulting in a $1 billion economic loss.
The game's popularity has already caused significant online activity, with network providers like Vodafone reporting performance peaks and Netflix crashing when the game's trailer was released.
