British workers have booked an estimated 83,000 days of annual leave across November and December to play Grand Theft Auto VI, according to HR firm BrightHR. It puts the paid leave bill for employers at about £12.4m, with £3.14m on launch day, 19 November. More staff booked that day off for the game than for honeymoons. One devoted fan has taken a whole fortnight off.
