  "account": "Pocketpair, the developer behind the popular game Palworld, has granted its employees special leave to attend to an urgent five-day business trip in Vice City during the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. The company announced this decision on X, stating that all employees will be excused from their regular duties from November 19 to November 23. While technically only three days off are granted, the studio believes that this historic occasion deserves the full attention of its team. Pocketpair also reassured its employees that work on updates for Palworld and Craftopia will continue as scheduled. This move comes amid other companies providing employees with time off to celebrate the launch of GTA 6, including Logitech and Burger Motorsports.",
