Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is one of the most anticipated games of all time, and fans are already planning how they’ll spend launch day. From calling in sick to quitting their jobs, the hype is real. But is it worth risking your responsibilities for a game? Here’s what fans are saying—and why you might want to think twice before pulling a sickie.
The ‘Sick Week’ Phenomenon
On Reddit’s GTA 6 subreddit, fans are joking about taking a “sick week” when the game launches. One user posted a meme about planning a sick day, sparking a wave of hilarious responses.
- “Sick day? Bruh, I’m going to be sick for a whole week,” wrote one fan.
- “I’m definitely creating a three-day weekend for myself,” added another.
- “I might be the only one planning on quitting my job around the time the game comes out,” joked a third.
Even self-employed fans are getting in on the fun. One user quipped, “I’m self-employed so I can’t. The vans might be broken that day though.”
Why Fans Are So Hyped
GTA 6 is shaping up to be a massive release, with fans eagerly awaiting the chance to explore Vice City and dive into the game’s story. For many, the idea of playing the game as soon as it launches is too tempting to resist.
As one fan put it, “That night of release is gonna feel like Christmas morning as a kid.”
The Risks of Faking It
While taking a sick day might seem like a good idea, fans are quick to point out the risks. As one user warned, “Just remember the unfair rule of the universe: if you fake being sick, you will definitely be struck with some kind of horrible illness about two weeks later.”
Instead of risking your job or health, consider using vacation days or planning a long weekend. After all, the game will still be there when you’re done with work.
