Australian Regulator Advises on GTA 6 Leave Rights

The regulator states that the National Employment Standards allow unpaid leave only in defined situations including acting as a carer or responding to an emergency. Having a child is listed as another qualifying event, though the graphic notes this does not extend to video game releases. Workers without paid leave can request unpaid time off and reach an agreement with their employer.

The graphic depicts a hospital scene where a copy of GTA 6 replaces a patient's head and an ultrasound screen showing the game instead of a child. The approach is described as daft yet reflective of the title's anticipated global impact.

The post references record-breaking expectations for GTA 6, including a projected $5.2 billion in launch-week revenue and development costs around $1.5 billion. Additional marketing efforts noted include illuminated signage on Miami's Kaseya Center and Vice City-themed jerseys for the Miami Heat.
