When your game developer has and needs a $4k workstation, and they work from home half the week. No reason to buy them another machine and have them maintain two seperate workspaces, we just give them parsec.

All our staff seem happy and we don't get complaints. Author hasn't tried modern tools it seems.

Another use case: mobile people with laptops, who sometimes want to hop in to a play test or show a game off to a vendor. No need for them to have a gaming laptop 99% of the time, when an X1 carbon + parsec to a beefy box work fine.
