COVID-19 continues to spread confidently across many countries, which directly affects a variety of aspects of people’s lives. Various events in the gaming and related industries are canceled in turn, and employees of many studios in a crisis situation are allowed to conduct their activities directly from home.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnik admits that he is skeptical of the employee’s remote work system, but the company will also have to resort to it in the event of a serious danger to its headquarters. Zelnik spoke about this at the Morgan Stanley technology conference.
“Employees will now have to find a way to remain extremely effective while working at home. In general, I believe that if the virus spreads with the same strength, then one of the unexpected consequences of this situation will be that many skeptics will no longer doubt the productivity of work at home. I I also relate to such skeptics. I don’t really believe that a person can work well on a remote basis. But, perhaps, surprises await me. In this area, a new dynamic may develop in the long term.
Is it realistic to work at home with the same zeal as sitting in the office, in the workplace? I don’t think so. But each of you spent your energy on a trip here and back, which affected your productivity. It makes you think. This situation can teach us a lot, “Zelnik explained his position.
The top manager noted that the coronavirus could hit the economy hard, but it was unlikely that it could stop the work of large studios.
As previously reported, Microsoft insisted that some of its specialists minimize visits to offices by switching to remote work.
