    To be fair, game development is one of those professions that should’ve moved to remote-only years ago.

      As a gameplay programmer I fully disagree. Just the ability to quickly ask a designer near you for clarifications or to if modifying the design slightly to save on time is worth soo much.

      Asking over slack just isn’t the same as it adds more friction, takes longer, and makes it easier for misunderstandings to sneak in.

      To be fair though it can be worth sometimes working from home to give you less distractions if you need some full focus time… And other jobs in the industry does gain a lot more from being fully remote…
