Remote work we know. Remote play is...social networks and video games.

They weren’t built with “remote” in mind. But they are more organic than doing artificial Zoom coffees with the team.

@Suhail and I discussed this in the before times. If you want remote socialization for your company you can:

1) invent new remote rituals & hope they catch on

2) repurpose the polished social apps & games maintained by multibillion dollar companies that your whole team knows https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1192880387673985035

Corporate budgets for social networks and video games have yet to be unlocked.

Wait till the billions of dollars we were wasting on San Francisco real estate is spent on VR offices.
