... I'm not sure how many AAA games released with the biggest event being a bunch of devs wearing studio hoodies & t-shirts wandering around London after announcing it on their blog... that was Fable II though!

100% agree. We've got no one who can take care of the kids locally, so the only time I get a few hours alone or to hang out with just my wife is if I take a school day off.

Now I've had a taste of that working-from-home life for a few years... I don't want to go back.
Was it better working remote in the 90s then it was in office?
I only got to work remotely very occasionally in the 00s

I am glad I got to do some programming on that project. People over the years have told me how important Fable II was to them, how it helped them feel seen or got them through a rough patch.
I am fortunate that I got to do my little bit to make a game that made the world a little better for some :)

yeah, impending meetings can take up too many brain cycles.
