Logitech gives its 7,000 employees a day off to play GTA 6

Ahead of the highly anticipated November 19 release of Grand Theft Auto VI, hardware manufacturer Logitech is offering all 7,000 of its full-time workers and interns a day off to play the game or any other title they prefer. The new initiative, called 'Logi Game Day,' allows employees to take the day off from now until next year. CEO Hanneke Faber stated that the company hopes to move away from the belief that gaming is a waste of time, arguing that engagement in one sphere supports performance in another. The move comes as economists estimate the game's launch could cause a significant drop in workplace productivity across the United States.
