Web Desk: A man has become an internet sensation on X after sharing screenshots showing a withdrawal of over $50,000 from his 401(k)-retirement account to purchase 500 preorders of Grand Theft Auto VI.

 The man in question claims, he plans to resell the game copies at a higher price, hoping to earn up to three times his initial investment.

 He goes on to describe the move as a "leap of faith," and defends his ambitious investment by claiming the popularity and high demand of Grand Theft Auto VI will deem profitable in terms of resells.

 He alleges he would "corner the market" if the game sells out and anticipates he would make ample revenue by the holiday season

The post rapidly gained traction across X and other social media platforms. While some users commended this audacious funding, others doubted its practicality, pointing to the growing popularity of digital downloads and the possibility of additional stock becoming available, both of which could considerably, reduce the resale value of physical copies.

The post included a screenshot that seemingly verified his preorder of 500 copies of the game.

Nonetheless, Grand Theft Auto VI continues to rank among the most eagerly awaited video game launches ever, with millions of players planning to purchase the title when it is released.
