For me, remote work was first and foremost the experience of continuously being whipped around by timezone differences between me and the HQ, so I'm a bit disappointed the article seems to not mention that aspect. I wonder if asynchronous games can help for remote work in locations with a large time zone difference.

While it is a constraint for sure, it is not so different from accommodating other people schedule anyway. As a professional, I am not available 90% of my time to interact with others: I have things to do, and if you want to get a piece of me you have to deal with my schedule. Same with my client. So what do we do ? We plan, we make compromise.

Time zones managing is the same, it just add a bit more friction to the process.

When I see people having problem with time zones, it's usually more a symptom of an deeper issue elsewhere: bad organization, unhealthy communication habits, unnecessary coupling between parties, micro-management, people not doing their job and so on.
