Comment on Unity to acquire Parsec for $320MComments−gregjw5yIs their a huge market of games developers who don't have access to a machine capable of developing locally? Seems like a limited size market.Good for the Parsec guys though!−madrox5yDesktop as a Service seems to be taking off in a lot of areas. I suspect the cost of cloud vs giving employees laptops is the cause. It isn't that devs don't have access, it's that companies find footing the bill an increasing liability.−deagle505yDon't forget the silicon shortage. I've seen 6-9 month lead times for corporate laptop/desktop procurement.

Is their a huge market of games developers who don't have access to a machine capable of developing locally? Seems like a limited size market.
