Kalshi says its hiring a GTA 6 researcher to study the games economy

With only a week to go until Grand Theft Auto VI launches, multiple companies are trying to get in on the zeitgeist in different ways.

Earlier this week, we covered Logitech's new policy of giving employees PTO to play new video games, and now, Kalshi wants to turn playing GTA 6 into work for someone. In a LinkedIn job posting that the prediction market claims is totally real, Kalshi is seeking out someone to obsessively play and livestream GTA 6 starting at launch on Nov. 19, with the end goal of figuring out how best to optimize the in-game economy, while also analyzing the amount of productivity lost in the real world due to people taking time off to play it.

This "GTA 6 Researcher" job also entails releasing a weekly research report on the in-game economy, and requires at least a decade's worth of "sweaty gaming" experience and three years of streaming experience. You'll also need to have a good streaming setup, with all the equipment and whatnot. For what it's worth, Kalshi lists compensation at $100,000 to $120,000 for a fixed project fee, with a $15,000 fee upon completion of the project.

The job may understandably sound enticing to many, especially when factoring in the listed compensation. However, it sounds like a whole lot of work that you'd possibly be doing entirely by yourself, and it could also be a great way to make the act of playing GTA 6 as not-fun as possible. Speaking from personal experience: Doing something you love for work is still work, at the end of the day.
