Is there any way you ever make $320m back by selling a better performance version of teamviewer/remote desktop? Or is there some other play here - e.g. a Stadia/GeForce Now competitor?
Microsoft's Game Pass xcloud service for iOS leverages Rainway, a competitor to Parsec. As a user of both I can say that Parsec outperforms Rainway although Rainway works in the browser.
Seems like Unity is looking to build a similar stack with Parsec at the helm, but I guess we'll see...
Let me rephrase your question: can they sell three thousand more enterprise license seats by bundling this in? Because they’ll have made it back in a couple of years if they do.
Seems like Parsec is being sold to game developers as a remote work/collaboration tool. That's on obvious fit for Unity, which already sells commercial collaboration products/services (https://unity.com/products/unity-teams).
Idk if they'll get into game streaming, but for their existing business it makes a lot of sense already.
Yea I heard TeamViewer is insecure. And average internet users don't care about privacy. More than 2 billion people using Facebook confirms my hypothesis.
Would like to know more about its security breaches. Really hard to find anything. I suspect that they've scrubbed a lot of the bed press off of google and the internet in general.
"Parsec has become a go-to solution for hybrid work models among gaming companies such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft and Square Enix and is integrated in many of the industry verticals where Unity sells solutions, including media and entertainment, architecture and design, and more. Together, Unity sees an opportunity to drive shared momentum with these customers through targeted cross-selling and bundled solutions."
