It probably won't happen. But FWIW... I had one of the early Nintendo battery-backed carts break on me once. Sent it in for repair. About a month later got a new copy of the cart and a note that apologized for the delay, because their technology allowed them to scan my save file but not to upload it back into the cart. So they'd had a Game Counselor play the game back to where my character was, which delayed the repair.
Neither Rockstar nor Google likely have the scale to fix this issue for everyone, but that kind of customer service is how you get customers for life.
(To be clear, 6k hours is a lot of time and I don't mean to imply it'll be feasible to solve this user's problem that way. But if they can spend a fraction of that time doing even a one-off import into another data format, wouldn't that be cool.)
I had several experiences with Nintendo customer service from the NES timeframe through the GameCube timeframe and every single one was amazing, legendary even.
I don't know if they're still like that, but, the past, apparent "severity" of their mandate to please customers who had issues leads me to find this story plausible.
