Video game development tends to be trickier for working from home though. Assets tend to be very large (double digits gigabytes), so having fast connectivity is expected in many situations, and slower home connections are rather painful for that.
Many jobs don't require nearly as much bandwidth though, and can be done from home.

If that were the case... I would probably look into using X-windows forwarding or remote desktop. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep all assets on the on-prem network instead of sending it back/forth to the employee's remote workstation?
- dijit 6y agoYes, we're doing exactly this with Citrix. It is bandwidth intensive though (70MB/s). I think the parent disregards a lot of jobs that require physical presence. Strong internet is not a problem in most of Europe. Especially in the Scandinavian region.
